When Joshua Turner was a kid growing up in a dysfunctional home in Minneapolis there were two things that he’d turn to for comfort when his parents fought: the Fugees records he’d listen to on a loop to drown out their conflict and the atlas he’d pore over to pretend he was anywhere else. Today Turner’s all grown up, but his sources of childhood refuge continue to play an integral role in his life. In his spare time he draws maps for fun, and, under the name deM atlaS, he’s composing his emotionally complex hip-hop records aimed at listeners out in the world who are in need of some sonic solace of their own.

Born and raised in Minneapolis, DJ Keezy has been making waves in the Twin Cites for four years now.

She is the founder of one of the first all female identified line-up dance parties to hit First Avenue's Mainroom. She has won Twin Cities Best Club DJ of 2017.
