ERIS DREW B2B OCTO OCTA

A celebration of their love for each other, dance music and the queer community. This is what we can expect from Eris Drew and Octo Octa going back-to-back at our festival. The duo are kindred spirits, playing with an exuberant, infectious energy that radiates from the booth.

Eris Drew is a DJ, producer and trans ecstatic from Chicago. She runs the T4T LUV NRG recording label with her loving b2b partner Octo Octa from a log cabin in New Hampshire. Eris is a recording artist for her own label, Interdimensional Transmissions (Detroit) and Naive Records (Lisbon). Eris has been playing and programming keyboards since she was a child. A long-time resident at Chicago’s Smart Bar and DJ for the Bunker NY, she started mixing records in 1994 at the age of 18. Her experiences as a musician and dancer showed her that rave is a powerful apparatus which can be used to transform individual lives and communities.

The New Hampshire-based DJ, producer, and live performer Maya Bouldry-Morrison first began releasing music as Octo Octa in 2011 on LA’s newly minted underground house label 100% Silk. It was the beginning of a prolific few years, several more releases for the label would culminate in her 2013 debut LP Between Two Selves. She went from smooth, hazy releases to gradually developing a more breakbeat-heavy sound, as displayed in Resonant Body (2019) released on T4T LUV NRG.
