Justin Sloe, is no stranger to getting strange. As 1/3 of the Droog / Culprit alliance, he’s known for his distinguishable dancefloor filling flavor that is undeniably bound to break ‘em off something. He just sort of gets you with the beat of the music and rocks you steady into the night.

DROOG is the DJ collective of Andrei Osyka, Brett Griffin and Justin Sloe. From their start 7 years ago, DROOG has steadily built a reputation as one of the leading purveyors of forward thinking dance music, in Los Angeles and beyond.

The collective have become known for their respected parties that through the years have brought the who’s-who of international house and techno talent to Los Angeles, from Magda, Jamie Jones, Steve Bug and Martin Buttrich to Dixon, all four members of Visionquest, Nicolas Jaar, Dyed Soundorom, Shonky and beyond. Droog have since taken their party know-how and vibe to showcase parties at WMC, DEMF, BPM and Sonar festivals.

Since 2011 the Los Angeles collective, Droog made a production breakthrough, delivering original material for underground marquee labels like Crosstown Rebels, Supernature, Last Night on Earth and Get Physical; remixes for Culprit, Murmur, My Favorite Robot, Adjunct Audio, Lower East also getting attention. Other high profile projects include mixing the second installment of the Rebel Rave mix CD for Crosstown Rebels, released in November 2011 and performances at the Movement Detroit Festival and the closing of the famed Inti Fest in Peru. This summer Droog will be playing high profile gigs at some of the world’s most recognized dance venues including Fabric, Watergate and Space Ibiza.

Think about the last time you went out and heard something (or someone) new. When you were entranced, surprised, intrigued, delighted by what was coming out of the speakers. When you ditched the crowd at the bar and found a new one on the dancefloor. When you forgot what time it was, what year it was, when you stayed out later than you thought you would because you couldn’t bear to miss the next record, or the next few.

The best DJs live and breathe music all day long, but you only get to hear them for an hour at a time. It’s time to change that. At Epic, it’s all headline. Every month, talented locals and visiting guests will take over the whole Re-Bar, for the whole night, so you can hear what they’re all about. Not just what they can find the time to play in a one-hour slot, but what they’d play for you and your friends in their living room. Not just the hits, but the inspiration behind them.

Open to close sets are a true test of any DJ and a challenge that most live for. They are a chance for the DJ to immerse the dance floor in the groove, shift the focus across the full experience and tell a complete story.
