We got @djlilmeowmeow in the mixxx! DJ Lil Meow Meow is an Asheville-based DJ known for infectious dance cuts, playful unpredictability, and an instinct for building high-energy dance floors. Her sets pull from across the electronic underground, weaving together hypnotic grooves, percussive club tracks, sexy late-night energy, playful left turns, and unexpected crowd moments with a sharp sense of flow and momentum. With a deep love for music and discovery, DJ Lil Meow Meow uses the dance floor as an opportunity to share the gems she loves while building an atmosphere that is magnetic and joyfully rowdy.

Can’t wait for local Asheville legend @cpthyperdrive to grace the stage! Creating music for the soul and the dance floor, Cpt. HyperDrive conducts a sonic journey that lights you in the heart. The producer and DJ behind the project, Rob Gray, draws listeners in with his unique fusion of sound and eclectic mix of genres. His lively personality, high energy stage presence and diverse palette conjures a juicy vibe that ignites a crowd.
Influenced by his early love of hip hop and obsession with electronic music production, his sound beautifully blends dusty vinyl samples, big beats, lush melodies, vibrant sound design, live instrumentation, and body tingling bass. His drops satisfy both bassheads and house heads alike. A child of the nineties, he’s known to remix his favorite throwbacks from that era.
During his tenure at the iconic Moog Music, he taught workshops alongside renowned artists Elliot Lipp and Machine Drum. His DJ residencies and self-curated boutique events have gained recognition throughout the Southeast. He’s supported artists including CloZee, Random Rap, Break Science, SoDown, Cofresi, K-LAB, Murkury, EOTO, and Spectacle. His festival performances include Hulaween, Moogfest, and Connection.
In exactly 4 weeks, we’ll be putting on our beards, hats, suspenders, and bonnets. We cannot WAIT! 🧈👒🧔♀️

@animalprince_ 🦁 We’re honored they’ll be gracing our stage for the THIRD YEAR in a row. We’re also honored to call them our best friends, let alone one of our favorite artists. Animal Prince is the vintage-pop project from singer-violinist Fae Nageon de Lestang and percussionist Grant McLeod. Fae’s vocals are a captivating instrument, drawing listeners into a landscape that’s playful yet polished, soulful but never self-serious, layered with string arrangements, synth grooves, hooks, harmonies and the occasional actual birdsong. Borrowing from bossa nova, indie folk, yacht rock and chamber pop, their sound is uniquely their own: tender, danceable and delightfully feral.
Very excited to be adding @djlilmeowmeow and @sludge.inc into the mix! Things are falling into place to make Churning Man 4 more buttery than ever. We’ll be dropping a daily lineup (Friday/Saturday) very soon and will have individual day tickets available for purchase 💃✨ Can’t wait to Churn with y’all 🧈
@video_dave is coming to Churning Man 4. 📹 There’s no way to write about Video Dave without it sounding like a fever dream. He’s a multi-hyphenate artist who pops up all over the world touring with acts like Serengeti, Armand Hammer, R.A.P. Ferreira, and Open Mike Eagle. He’s 1/3rd of Previous Industries, the first rap group signed to Merge Records, and has songs with AJJ, Method Man, Dessa, and Hannibal Buress. His fast-paced and colorful live show includes a fully synced video presentation, jokes, and even raffles of his hand-sewn hats.
