4.6: Party Favor

Last in the city to shut down OMNIA on New Year’s Eve, Manhattan-born/L.A.-based DJ Dylan Ragland returns to San Diego in what has been a busy 2019 for the producer thus far. BROHUG and 4B have already remixed his January-released single 2012, and Ragland teamed with graves and GTA, respectively, on latest singles Reach For Me and Work It Out.

4.6: Bear Grillz

The Colorado-based, mask-wearing DJ really showcases a diverse production style with his two latest releases. February’s Demons (feat. RUNN) is a melodic, vocal-led foray into pop territory, while the March-released single Flow is another hard-hitting, in-your-face dose of dubstep that has become synonymous with the mysterious producer.
