Presented by Spirit of '68 GOSH PITH
GOSH PITH is a Detroit-based duo who draw influence from a wide range of genres in creating an unclassifiable sound uniquely their own.
Long-lost childhood friends Josh Smith (vocals, guitar, production) and Josh Freed (beats, electronics, production) reconnected in 2014 and began writing their debut album Window on borrowed equipment, recording in vacant spaces and mixing in friends’ cars. With a keen ability to mesh together seemingly random sounds, GOSH PITH earned early critical attention from The Guardian, Stereogum, Noisey, Pigeons and Planes, and the like, and racked up millions of plays across the internet.
After a long winter touring the midwest, the duo returned to Detroit to work on their follow-up project, moving into a big castle-like house near downtown that was said to be haunted. 2016’s Gold Chain was released by LA-based B3SCI Records and represented an exciting new extension of GOSH PITH’s hybrid sound. From the booming trap bass and frenetic guitar licks of “K9” through the plaintive vocals and spacious sonics of the title track “Gold Chain,” the duo ushered an exiting new distillation of hip-hop, pop, stoner rock, dub and Detroit trap — while never sounding quite like any of them. Following the release of Gold Chain, GOSH PITH hit the road, playing headlining dates across the midwest and east coast, as well as sharing the stage with a broad range of artists including GRiZ, Vic Mensa, ODESZA, JR JR, and Kero Kero Bonito.

Dream Chief is an electro-pop duo from Indianapolis consisting of cousins John and Luke Tuttle. They both started playing music together at a young age. John started playing guitar at 5 years old. Around that same time, Luke started playing piano/keys. Now, years later, their music draws influences from 80’s synth-pop and is riddled with catchy guitar leads and layered synthesizers. They aim to spread the love and energy that all humans share through their music.
