DEBONAIR, The DJ and radio host, is regarded as one of the hardest digging selectors in the underground with a formidable knowledge of post punk, new wave, body music, proto techno, the avant-garde and off-kilter house and she delivers these exquisitely during her incendiary DJ sets, which take place everywhere from subterranean sex clubs to post modern art spaces. Whether it’s Unsound Festival or Circo Loco, Seoul’s Cakeshop or New York’s Nowadays, Panorama Bar or Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, DEBONAIR’s selections always captivate the dance.

DESTINY is here to reprogram you. She’s an unforgiving lover of perfect mistakes. In her cosmology crowd synergy = fuel for risk taking. She refuses to deliver what is expected and won’t be satisfied until you leave hearing differently. The only catch is that you’ve got to arrive willing to change.

SABROUT Cairo-raised, Brooklyn-based Sabrout has moved seamlessly between New York dancefloors and non-traditional listening spaces. His sets stretch from synth-heavy techno and IDM-leaning electro into dubbier techno, yearning ambient, Arabic rap and pop, jazzy downtempo, spoken word and R&B.

On Dysfluency, his monthly show on The Lot Radio, he explores that range even further, oscillating between genres while staying grounded in emotion, but never settling into a single sound or energy level for too long.

FLOP marks his first time playing in Montreal.

Favorite way to FLOP: Hot yoga, long walks, fun beverages while listening to a Pjenné, Vlada or OK Williams mix + spending time with my friends on and off dance floors
