Kasey Tate (also known as DJ Kase) is an American DJ, audio engineer, playback engineer, producer, and musician. Kase is never afraid to play those random rare gems you love but didn’t remember. Having grown up on her parent’s eclectic combination of Funk / Soul, Pop / Folk, Gospel… all which became infused with her own love for Hip-Hop, R&B, and Neo-Soul, Kase ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today this translates into sets where she infuses music that was never intended to blend together but as the “Queen of Transitions” she masterfully marries your favorite artists and genres from around the world.
Her passion to teach whatever she knows directly effects the way she mixes; Always willing to introduce the crowd to new music they naturally fall in love with.
Wayne Matthews Jr. (aka the Wave Captain) is a Musician/Producer from the great cultural city of New Orleans, La. He’s been fortunate enough to work with such names as Summer Walker, Pell, and Fatoumata Diawara to name a few. He attributes most of his sound to his social experiences in his Musician Community that led him to his move to Los Angeles, CA in 2018. In encountering music in metaphorical “Waves,” his appreciation of the connection of humanity and spirituality has led him to this exciting position as one of the co-hosts of the L.A. vs LA podcast. If you hear him say something out of pocket, don’t hold it to his heart. He was sheltered.
