Ruler – Hailing from Raleigh, this high-energy ska-punk five-piece delivers a relentless blend of 4th wave ska, hardcore, pop-punk, skate punk, and emo, creating a sound that’s unmistakably their own. With the mantra “You have to experience it live” fueling every performance, Ruler! is currently hard at work on their debut recordings.

The Unsustainables – Sounding off a righteous mix of traditional ska, rocksteady, and reggae, The Unsustainables invoke the legends of Studio One, Treasure Isle, and Black Ark Studios. Free your mind and move your body as The Unsustainables soundtrack a burning world.

DJ Uno Dose (aka Shane Hartman) specializes in all vinyl sets that span a wide range of vibes, pulled from 30+ years of digging, and informed by a life long passion for all types of music. Leaning heavy into classic Jamaican music (ska/rocksteady/reggae), funk and soul, and anything that will get the body moving, he’s garnered a reputation for assembling crowd favorite sets that feature soul, pop, and rock songs reimagined in a reggae style – familiar sing-a-long favorites turned inside out!

DJ Craig Layabout – The 45 RPM single may not be at the cutting edge of today’s dance music scene, but for DJ Craig Layabout the format is a tried and true secret weapon that transcends cultural divides and brings folks together through the power of SOUL! And he has been doing just that at parties and clubs throughout the Triangle and the east coast for the past decade or so. Expect a mix of only the finest classic R&B and funk singles from his many years of digging!
