Altus Lineup

This year’s electronic music programming will be headlined by the forward-thinking, downtempo stylings of industry juggernaut Bonobo and Copenhagen-based, genre-bending trio WhoMadeWho. Top-tier billing continues with a seasoned performance from Dirtybird favorite Justin Martin, a live set from Phoenix G label boss Mr. G, and Do Not Sit curator Behrouz, who will also be bringing his Do Not Sit on the Furniture event mountainside. Visionquest will also make their much-anticipated North American return at Altus.

The lineup extends further with melodic soundscapes from Atish, Berlin-London-Detroit techno hybrid Ryan Crosson, Honey Soundsystem aka Jason Kendig, West Coast house originator Doc Martin, and Crew Love Records duo No Regular Play. Leading the charge of unique hip-hop performances will be genre founding icons The Sugarhill Gang, whose 1979 hit “Rapper’s Delight” became the first rap single to grace the Top 40 on Billboard. They’ll be joined by two founding members of the Furious Five, Grandmaster Melle Mel and Scorpio.
