U Street Music Hall has handpicked a variety of local, national, and international electronic artists to provide the soundtrack for the Union BBQ coming to Union Market’s Dock 5 on June 14. Among the headliners: Jamie xx of the xx; Canadian hip-hop remixer Kaytranada; and a DJ set from Animal Collective‘s Deakin and Geologist.
In anticipation of the music and street food festival, 10 of the local performers have released exclusive previews of their Union BBQ mixes.
