DJ Farrah Flosscett


Farrah Flosscett made her DJ debut in Washington DC at a well known U Street staple for music - Velvet Lounge. She then continued along that path and spun for places/events such as Broccoli City Festival, 9:30 Club, The Fillmore, and H Street Festival. She currently has residencies at Lost Society, Fig & Olive and The W Hotel. Still early in her career, she has already been recruited to play for Art Basel 2017, as well as a reoccurring guest DJ in NYC, LA, and Austin. She also had the opportunity to perform for the massive Open House festival in Trinidad and Tobago. She was chosen in 2017 by Sean "Diddy" Combs, as one of his "Deleon 100" influencers, for his US talent recognition. Ironically, her musical history story sparks from her father's own DJ roots. And therefore holds a major part of her passions to always attempt cohesive sound jumps inhabiting a blend of Funk, Soulful House, Future Bass/R&B, Afrobeat, Nu Disco, Hip Hop and Classics.

Allthebestkids 


Allthebestkids comes from the future, with one purpose; to spread the highest vibrational music this world has ever known. Instead of attempting to manipulate the past in their favor, ATBK wields pop, soul, hip hop, & psych rock as its luminous love-filled mega sword, striking at the heart of darkness wherever they land. Those with pure intention, there's no need to worry :) - Allthebestkids will effortlessly fill your emotional tanks with the energy you so desperately desire, reminding you of something forgotten long ago. We are all the best kids.
