Will Martin is a DJ, producer, and label head living in Brooklyn. In 2016 he and his wife Susie started their label, Firm Tracks, which specializes in releasing music from fresh, unreleased, up-and-coming artists and features unique, hand screen printed artwork. His sense for DIY aesthetics and ear for raw sounds translates to the studio and can be heard across his productions. Recently a string of EPs on beloved Discovery Recordings and John Barera and Volvox's Jack Dept. straddle both sides of warm fuzzy electronics and harsh paranoid acid. His career as an artist started in 2013 with a featured track on the famed Panorama Bar mix series and has since seen releases on Dolly, Argot, Basement Floor, and Supply. Currently he's riding the wave of his second full length album with frequent collaborator John Barera on Mike Simonetti’s red-hot 2MR, released in September.

Kellam Matthews has been collecting and playing records since childhood. He conceived, launched and manages roving party and record label Frendzone. The label fuzes deep house and breaks, with a heavy drum and bass influence that harkens back to the epoch of the genre. His DJ sets mirror the theme of the label crossing between house, techno, breaks, drum n bass, lush soundscapes and driving acid.
