After years of putting on our own Dim Mak official & unofficial showcases, we’re stoked to be part of our first Austin Party Weekend as we close in on our label’s 20th anniversary. We’re honored to have our showcase aligned with labels we have major respect for and homies we’ve come up with over the last two decades.
