Hey! I'm ADA, a DJ from Hull who plays mostly metal and emo, but some EDM too every now and again. I've played a ton of furry events both on vrchat and in real life, and have been DJing for around three to four years now. Honestly, I've loved every second of it! I've met some amazing people and cannot wait to play another set at Core Element!

From a lockdown hobby, to my friends wedding and a new passion, my DJ journey began! I channel my energy into my style of mixing, often mixing multiple tracks and samples at any one time. Mixing has become a form of escapism for me. When i'm in front of the crowd, everything else fades away. The crowd becomes my focus, and I want to give them all I got. Music is a form of expression for me, and hopefully I can give you a taste of my euphoria.
One nation, one vibe. One bollard, one tribe.

Kittz is a chaotic pink ADHD-powered whirlwind of a DJ hailing from The Big Smoke. A mainstay of UK fandom events for over a decade. Their obsession with vocals has led to them developing a signature sound, a genre-fluid journey through hip-hop, funk, disco, pop, breaks, bassline, UKG & whatever else ignites the dancefloor. Expect classic acapellas you know layered over filthy, funky beats you don't & a shedload of infectiously positive energy from the kittypup behind the decks!

Sable is fast approaching twink death, and has been a DJ for his entire tenure as such. At 18, Sable started DJing locally and performed his first fandom events in 2017. Sable has performed as himself, chav rave, or as a fandom trio 'Stardawgs', performing at Animalz, Confuzzled, LFM, New Furizons, FTR and more. Sable also makes tunes as well as plays them! Sable is bringing an hour of oldskool rave inspired breaks & breakbeat, house grooves and garage cuts, all in the spirit of classic rave culture. An energetic, lively, and perhaps even occasionally silly, mix of old and new material alike.

Vesper has been dabbling with liquid and liquid-adjacent drum & bass and jungle since 2018. His preference is to create sets which act as an intentioned, cohesive experience, with a high quality bar, and which are as accessible to people who don't know much about DnB as to those who do. He has played sets at ConFuzzled, Texas Furry Fiesta, and as one third of Stardawgs at Scotiacon.
