Special Guests

DJ Hushpuppy

Hushpuppy was an ICAM major at UC San Diego and graduated in 2023. Since then he has made a name for himself all across the country, blending elements of modern electronic dance music with early 2000s rave music along with pop music of the early 2010s. While 'Hushpuppy' is a relatively new project, he has been hard at work cooking up a flurry of originals and remixes to bring a unique flavor to his live sets. His debut single 'Girls in the Front' released last year on the compilation album Thrive or Die Summer Grand Prix alongside names such as Nonstoppup, Ricco Harver, Sanfear, and Draz. With plenty more on the way, we couldn't be more excited to feature Hushpuppy for this year's Howloween!
