WHO: Chairlift (DJ set), headliner
Based in Brooklyn, Chairlift consists of Caroline Polachek and Patrick Wimberly. They have two albums—Does You Inspire You (2008) and Something (2012), recorded over 18 months between the back of an antique store in Brooklyn and the basement of a family home in Streatham, London. In contrast to Chairlift's debut album's Does You Inspire You pop-dreamscape, created in the dark, after school and work, the band uncovered the songs on Something in the daytime, drinking coffee.
Party Supplies, support: Party Supplies is the sound of Justin Nealis—producer behind critically acclaimed rap collaborations with
Action Bronson (Blue Chips) and
Danny Brown ("Grown Up"). Joined by multi-instrumentalist Sean Mann, the two write classic rock from the future.
