SPCL.K

SPCL.K - who comes up with a moniker like that? Detroit-bred, DC-based DJ Kim Thompson does. Influenced by gospel, hip hop/rap, grunge/rock, and of course Chicago House and Detroit Techno, SPCLK digs deep for the tracks, licks, and riffs that keep feet moving, hearts pulsing, and minds wandering. Ever the technician, SPCL.K specializes in seamless transitions, leaving you to wonder where one track begins and another ends.

SPCL.K has recently opened for the likes of Anthony Attalla, Chris Stussy, EDX, Eli Brown, and Sidney Charles, and was one of several choice DC locals to play the inaugural Project Glow Festival.

While navigating a personal career, SPCL.K also steers the helm of Deep Tech DC, one of the leading collectives in the Washington, D.C. underground scene. Whether it be by mansion, boat, or the afters, Deep Tech DC has been on the cutting edge of breakthrough events in the District.

Who is SPCL.K? Ultimately that’s for you to decide.
