DJ IMPROVIZE
No plans — Just Beats
Creating his own events in Richmond since 1994, dj iMPROVIZE has been a quiet force behind the region’s underground—collaborating with Insomnia, Transfused, and Pure Love while pushing dance floors forward. Since 1998, he’s carried HIS SOUND coast to coast, from Chicago warehouses to Las Vegas rooftops. In 2003 he launched the now-iconic ROBOT ROK series, cementing his place as a curator with a vision.

SHAMELESS
Less talk — more Bassline
Shameless was born in the DMV underground and raised on New York basslines and bad influences. Now, Richmond’s favorite troublemaker behind the decks. He blends house, tech, and late-night bass into a set that feels like your best bad decision of the weekend.
