ILUSM 

@_____iloveusomuch

ILUSM is a Baltimore-based DJ who is known for his eclectic track selection, flawless blends, and unwavering PLUR ethos. He organizes events as both an opportunity for creative expression and as a way to raise funds for individuals and communities in need. This is the foundation of the ethos behind LOCKBOX, a new party series explicitly dedicated to raising funds for queer-trans individuals in Baltimore seeking mutual aid for their survival needs! And for this debut iteration of LOCKBOX, ILUSM is incredibly excited to welcome a lineup of stunning New York and Baltimore-based DJs, each one a headliner in their own right. LOCKBOX is the first event of many that ILUSM will be organizing alongside their collective, Solidarity Bmore.

SEAWEED

@s3w33d

SEAWEED started expanding into different artistic mediums and felt drawn to mixing their favorite songs to create the genre-blending fusion of sounds in their brain. Through adding elements of Jersey/Baltimore club, ghettotech, Baile funk with world techno alongside Caribbean-Latinx/non-western influences, their mixes will have you moving n’ smiling, asking yourselves “why can’t I help but dance around?”. Hope you enjoy the sonic journey that is SEAWEED ‎٩(⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)و*̣̩⋆̩*
