Tracklist: https://wkdu.org/playlist/70196 This is DJ VCK, or just VCK. They are a queer vietnamese-american DJ based out in Harrisburg, PA and have been DJ'ing for about 3 years now. They feel very blessed and fortunate enough to have had opportunities in Harrisburg and Lancaster to bring music and joy to not only queer spaces, but clubs/events in the local area as well. Their passion comes from growing up in a musical family and loving how music brings people together and they say that's all they want from DJ'ing; to bring people together, to curate a space where people can feel safe within a world that is troubled, where people can find joy, even if it's temporary. Any happiness and peace we can enjoy and that they can help bring, means everything to them.

A familiar face in Lancaster's DJ scene, she delivers an unforgettable energy to every gig because she is not just playing music, she's creating moments.

Tracklist: TBA Hailing from Philadelphia, Roselyn’s infectiously upbeat sets reflect her passion for many genres: from bass house and trap to dubstep, club, and hard dance, with strong pop influences. Every rose has its thorn, and this one is no different: Roselyn is no stranger to contrasting bubblegum sweetness with heavier basslines. Shaped by her background in classical music and vocal training, Roselyn’s forthcoming EP emphasizes her vocal-forward electronic approach. Roselyn has supported artists such as JOYRYDE, Luci, Blossom, and GG Magree, performing at venues across NYC, Florida, New Jersey, and PA including The Ave, Warehouse on Watts, Franky Bradley’s, Archer Music Hall, Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center, and Fabrika. Her festival appearances include Breakaway Philly Silent Disco, Showcation Camp official soundstages, and Electric Winter Wonderland.
