Yola (Computa Age, Sub.fm)
Hailing from our nation’s capital, twenty-three year old Yola Monster, or Yola for short, is dedicated to fostering the true sounds of bass music in the United States. Inspired by Jamaican sound system culture, Yola is always looking for new ways to stretch bass bins and induce widespread skanking. Yola utilizes rhythm and bass to create an audible experience never to be replicated.
Yola's DJ career originated from his love for collecting music of all genres. Inheriting a vinyl collection from his father at an early age set the stage for his addiction to white labels and limited quantity pressings. Analog vibes have and forever will play a major role in Yola's progression into the digital age. His love for collecting eventually grew into a love for sharing. Creating and transmitting the vibe became paramount. The goal, to make the crowd an active participant and always expose them to new and noteworthy music. Yola has been able to accomplish this goal in some of the country’s most notorious clubs along side some of the world’s biggest names and continues to promote both the underground sound and culture.
Yola's low end driven sets can best be described as "system music," often leaving his listeners shouting, “Track ID!” or "Pull Up!" Yola always takes ownership of his sound and the ultimate theme, low frequencies. His monthly bass music residency at Patty Boom Boom, “Computa Age,” is quickly becoming one of the hottest parties in D.C. and a who’s who of bass music standouts – hosting the likes of Joe Nice, True Nature, Deep Medi Muzik’s Dark Tantrums, and South Fork Sound's Blind Prophet. Yola also hosts a monthly radio show on www.sub.fm, informing the people and making a worldwide name for his sound.
J Hilla (Banana Peel Records, Green Villain, RWD.FM)
After growing up an avid musician from a young age in various countries across the globe, Justin Hill started pursing his passion for music in a different way through electronic production and djing shortly after moving to the US for University in 2008. In particular he developed an appreciation for vinyl culture, world music, and fell in love with a particular sound-system vybe and community that was developing in the UK underground in 2000s. His debut EP “River Runs Red” was released in 2012 on Boston based imprint Banana Peel. The 4 track EP was called a “reaction to the hyper-aggressive” scene saturating North America with “exceptionally dark” bass music tunes favoring “complex, tribal-influenced percussion and subdued, breathing subbass” (XLR8R). Currently residing in New York, Justin holds down a weekly radio show on RWD.FM on Tuesdays from 10-12 PM EST. Expect an a energetic selection of nostalgia and forward thinking in his dj sets with a particular focus on the low frequencies that continue to inspire him as the years go by.
