They are a force behind the turntables, dropping high-voltage, pulse-pounding beats that keep the crowd lit all night. Fierce icons in the LGBTQIA+ scene, Shannon and Sasha both bring raw energy, deep soul, and zero chill to every set.
💃 And don’t miss the Twerk-Off Showdown—where confidence meets choreography for your chance to win!
