Join us for a DJ set from intrepid and groundbreaking Tampa rap duo They Hate Change at Spiritland Royal Festival hall.
Dre (he/him) and Vonne (they/them) first came together in front of the apartment complex where they both lived as teens.
It was clear from the start that the two listen to music differently from most people—they’re sonic omnivores, obsessive deep-divers, lovers of rare and radical sounds. Starting as kids trawling the internet for tracks, they’ve been collecting music from around the world and across the decades, amassing a shared sonic knowledge so deep that “encyclopedic” barely begins to cover it—not just the East Coast hip-hop that Dre grew up on, or the hyperlocal bass-music variants like jook and crank but also drum ‘n’ bass, Chicago footwork, post-punk, prog, grime, krautrock, emo, and basically any genre on the map.
Entry is free, vibes are good.
