DJ MALINTZIN: A Mexican multidisciplinary artist based in Asheville, NC, whose music serves as a bridge between cultures, communities, and movement. Rooted in the sounds of the Latin diaspora, she weaves together pulsating house rhythms with Latin influences, creating a sonic experience that is both ancestral and futuristic.
Her sets flow through Afro house, tribal house, and global percussive styles, carrying high energy textures that ignite dance floors and celebrate the power of collective rhythm. With a deep connection to storytelling through sound, DJ MALINTZIN spins the soundtrack of diasporic movement connecting people, honoring roots, and turning every set into a space of liberation and joy.

Brandon Manitoba: A true ambassador to the culture, Brandon has nearly 20 years of experience behind the decks mixing vinyl and digital. His style ranges from what the dance floor needs to what the dance floor wants but his wheelhouse is always a “fun-first” approach with house, techno, disco, personal edits, live remixes, and a keen ear to what makes people move their bodies and beam with joy. From Asheville, to Charlotte, to Detroit, to New York, one thing is for sure… he’s having the time of his life and wants you to the feel the same.
