ABOUT THE ARTISTS
DJ Alessandro
From the vibrant city of León, Mexico, and now a proud resident of Bentonville, Arkansas and U of A alumni, Alessandro’s musical journey has been a fusion of cultural experiences and electrifying beats. His story began in 7th grade when he moved to the US, sparking his love with music that would soon become his passion.
Settling into his new home in Bentonville, Alessandro found his rhythm through the mesmerizing soundscapes of electronic music during his high school years. It was here that he discovered his calling in the pulsating realms of house and techno, genres that would become the foundation of his sound.
Drawing inspiration from the diverse corners of the globe, Alessandro’s musical palette reflects the influences of French DJ Matt Sassari’s raw energy, the UK’s own Will Clarke’s boundary-pushing creativity, and the Dutch sensation Oliver Heldens’ infectious melodies.
With just a year and a half under his belt, Alessandro’s journey behind the decks has been one of growth and electrifying progression. Eager to leave his mark on the emerging EDM community in Northwest Arkansas, he’s tirelessly shaping a nightlife that resonates with beats that defy boundaries.
Northwest Arkansas is witnessing the birth of a new night scene as the EDM community flourishes. Join us as we redefine the night, one beat at a time.
Susie Q
Susie is a powerhouse of Latinx EDM and house music DJ, but don’t put her in a box just yet. Her style is as eclectic as she is. Hailing from San Francisco, CA, originally and the daughter of Salvadoran immigrants, Susie has become a staple in the NWA music scene and never ceases to captivate her audiences with energizing and entrancing beats, both brand new and familiar. After falling in love with EDM, Susie entered the rave scene almost instantly and, to this day, goes to festivals and shows regularly. She’s a proud Rave Mom and an advocate for more representation of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and women in the EDM scene.
DJ XNA
Born in Bentonville, AR, DJ XNA has watched the area grow from being a dry county to what it is today. Outside of DJing, XNA works at the Walmart headquarters in merchandising and loves spending time outdoors. Most of his free time is consumed by DJing, however, he also loves surfing, trying new restaurants, and traveling with his fiancée Olivia.
DJ XNA began DJing by throwing house parties in 2020 while all nightlife was shut down due to COVID-19. Eventually, this led to doing charity gigs and, eventually, clubs and festivals. XNA’s style is an eclectic mix of house, tech house, and basehouse, and you never know what else might come your way at one of his shows. You can typically find XNA playing at backroom events and house parties, and this year will be featured in the silent disco at Breakaway Festival Kansas City.
