Green Lantern
Don’t forget to bring your twerk team, ladies. Also rounding out the lineup for Finger Lickin’ Fort Mason is Trap artist and hip-hop inspired musician DJ Green Lantern. Born and raised in Rochester, NY, James D’Agostino (aka DJ Green Lantern) first claimed his rise to fame after Eminem named him the Official DJ of Shady Records in early 2000s. Most known for his rap focused mixtapes, DJ Green Lantern is sure to bring the beats. Just because it’s a Sunday morning doesn’t mean the Bay won’t get down and dirty.
TJR
When TJ Rozdilsky, better known by stage name TJR, hits the stage, expect to turn up a notch. Recently featured on Diplo & Friends and topping beatport charts with the below banger ‘What’s Up Suckaz,’ TJR’s techno and hard-hitting house tracks will blow the roof off Fort Mason (um, and your minds).
DJ Snake
Like Pavlov’s dogs, the second we here ‘TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!’ blasting from our speakers in that Lil Jon voice we all hate to love, our temperature begins to rise, our head starts to bop, and a smile spreads across our face. We can’t stop or deny it, we love to party, and DJ Snake will get it started. Previously producing for stars such as Lady Gaga, Paris-based artist finally broke out onto the EDM scene with his own projects. Quickly climbing to the top of playlists and charts, DJ Snake is a name that will soon be selling out venues all over the world, if not already.
Adventure Club
And here come the womps. Canadian electric duo Christian Srigley and Leighton James, known as Adventure Club, will take the stage ready to drop some major bass. Associated with well-known pop electronic group Krewella, Adventure Club’s repertoire of bangers mixed with love songs mixed with hard dub, is a guaranteed recipe for an insane dance party with a side of belting out heart-felt lyrics to friends.
Laidback Luke
Not that his man needs much of an introduction. World-renowned headliner Laidback Luke is one of the top dance music remixers and artists in the industry. Recently taking voyage on the much anticipated Holy Ship!!! and soon-to-be proud father with wife DJ Gina Turner, Laidback Luke is no noob when it comes to bringing the house down. The electronic DJ is a master at mixing a wide range of EDM genres and songs and knows just what to play to get the crowd going.
