G SPACE
special guesT PRODUCER
MULTI INSTRUMENTALIST & PRODUCER
"Starting off with keyboards as an infant, he taught himself how to improvise on the piano throughout the years. G-Space has created his own distinct sound that grazes multiple genres, such as; world, funk, jazz, trap, glitch, and bass. He tends to play a set that consists mainly of his originals and the rest is filled with close friends’ music and other artists that he looks up to. G-Space has nested his way into quickly becoming one of the most interesting acts in the scene.
Not only does he play on multiple instruments and create amazing electronic music to match it. He has added a unique visual aspect to his performance. It’s called ‘Tricking’ which by definition, is a style “of extreme sport where the “athletes” do cool, fast, beautiful flips and kicks without any wires or trampolines,” (Defined from Urban Dictionary.) While playing the keytar on stage he is able to do a backflip and other insanely physically demanding and talented tricking skills. Having this special type of performance has been getting him recognized by many, as he has played Imagine Festival, Ultra Festival, and has just recently finished his ‘Euro-Trip Tour’ which spanned across several countries in Europe."

Co - PRODUCER
Bass owl is a Michigan based producer with deep roots in the Detroit underground scene.
Formerly known as Stone Owl, he spent over a decade crafting house and techno, making a name for himself with innovative live sets, a raw, original style, and an extensive, timeless catalog. His journey has also included time as a turntablist for the hip hop group “Artful Dodgers,” and the legendary blues band “Howling Diablos” where he released a record on Nashville’s famous, Sun Records.
Across his career, Jake Greba aka Bass Owl has played such iconic gigs as, a live set on the main stage at Movement Detroit, summers with the Warped Tour, and even a sold out show opening for Tom Petty at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Experiences that shaped his command of large crowds and high energy environments.
Now he’s fully focused on unapologetically deep bass music, atmospheric, and with a dirty hip hop influence, fusing genres together, connecting with the crowd, and moving people with passion and intention.
A beekeeper, Jiu Jitsu coach, and world champion plant cultivator, Jake also has a legacy canna brand, “Midnight Roots.” That produces craft genetics, and artisan chocolates.
His music is from someone who’s been there, and came back with something to say.
