Presenting, Princesses vs. Villains:

In the dead of winter, darkness has overtaken and hardcore is few and far between. Ravers and princesses are forced into hiding, becoming jaded and cynical. No longer are we dancing all night, no longer are we banded together; the skies are gray and it seems hope is lost. But it’s time to fight back: a light shines from the West Coast as three hardcore legends come to save us. With their amazing energy and skills on the decks, we can take back what’s ours and defeat the villains once and for all.

So grab your fucking tiara and prepare for battle.

NO LEFT TURN – San Francisco, CA
K12 Studios // KIKWear // Kandi Love

Hailing from San Francisco, No Left Turn has become a name recognized by hardcore lovers all over the world. Known for his innovative mixing that continues to push the limits of live performance, he dominates the American hardcore scene with his fast-paced DJ sets and high-energy productions. Together with his undeniable energy behind the decks, it’s no wonder why he is one of the most in-demand hardcore DJ’s in the USA. His unique style has earned him appearances in such prominent places/events as HTID in the Sun, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Pittsburgh, HTID USA 2015, and just about every other major city, as well as regular appearances in his hometown. No one else is more prepared to lead the battle and save us than this corgi-riding guardian of hardcore.

His love for the audience shows not only in his crowd-pleasing track selection, but also in his enthusiasm behind the decks! A local legend that has worked his way to the top of the scene in the Bay Area, Rafer Rawb is a resident of the underground Outlet crew, as well as Kandi Love and the So Stoked events; he’s a fan-favorite at these events, keeping the dance floor going until the early hours, and closing out almost every show.

And fighting by their side are the local heroes, the MN Princesses themselves:

TAGE + SANNER [a.k.a. DJ Bread and Sagonomix]

Whether they’re in the front room, the mainroom, the back room, or Sage’s bedroom, this wombo combo of hardcore knows how to fill the dance floor and keep the crowd dancing until they can’t dance anymore. Opening for Hixxy, Yoji Bioimehanika, Scot Project, Darren Styles, and more, they’ve become the most in-demand hardcore duo in the Midwest. After headlining a show with their infamous Hugs and Kisses Friends 4Eva set, Tage and Sanner won the hearts of us all and have been our strongest weapon in the fight thus far. #jcorevinylbootlegtrainwreck
