Return to the Source — Day 3
Kicking off in the sunshine right after No Way Back, it's another Monday shitshow with a dialed-up roster of DJ fam from near and far. We’re incredibly proud of our 2026 lineup, and ready to introduce this wild ride of music to the Lot this May. Get ready.
TAMMY LAKKIS
We lead with a Detroit hero, right out of the gate. Kicking us off right after No Way Back is Tammy Lakkis. Tammy has stolen our hearts with her driving sets that pull from house, techno, and the layered traditions of Midwest dance floors, as well as her live performances at Club Toilet over the years. A steady presence in Detroit’s underground, she anchors patient mixing, strong groove, and knowing exactly when to push a floor forward. She’s the perfect start to our marathon day in the lot.
MATIAS AGUAYO
Matias Aguayo is an infamous Chilean-born producer, performer, and founder of the Cómeme label – a home for artists who don’t fit neatly into any one sound or scene. Since starting Cómeme in 2009, he’s built it into a legendary, collective-driven space where friends, outsiders, and new voices can follow their instincts and make music on their own terms. His own releases live there too, alongside a wide mix of artists who share that same open, playful approach to club music.
As a live performer, Aguayo brings that spirit straight to the stage, and we expect no less for our little daytime dirt rave. With a background in theater and a deep love of the human voice, his performances blur DJing, singing, rhythm, and crowd interaction into something that feels more like a shared moment than a set. It’s physical and alive, shaped in real time by the dance floor and the people on it.
YESSI
Following Matias is a rising star from the endless pool of Pittsburgh expat artists. Yessi is a Colombian American DJ now based in Los Angeles, but part of our world through years of overlap in PGH, where she co-founded the Dyspheric collective. Dyspheric was built to center Black and Brown trans and nonbinary people on Pittsburgh’s dance floor, making space for sounds and bodies that often get pushed aside. Through genre-hopping sets, radio shows, and parties across the city, Dyspheric focuses on communal care, fair pay, and real community – not just the party.
Yessi’s sets reflect that same spirit, pulling from techno, electro, and experimental club music with a strong sense of rhythm shaped by her diasporic roots. She regularly floors us with her sets, including at Hot Mass and Honcho Campout, and we’re excited to bring her back into our orbit to push us into the evening.
SOLAR (SF)
We’ll finish the daytime stretch with a sunset set from SF’s Solar – an institution in the Bay Area rave world. For decades, he’s been part of the backbone of that underground, helping shape the long, loose, and deeply psychedelic dance floors they’re known for. He was a core piece of the legendary Sunset Campout parties (RIP), where his building, open-ended sets helped define the sound of West Coast nature raves. As the sun drops over the lot, he’ll carry us from day into night, setting the tone just right before The Bunker takes over to bring the weekend home.
_____
Return to the Source 2026 is an organic evolution of the original concept, with careful attention to detail put in at every level. Our weekend at the Tangent includes 4 parties for the price of one weekend wristband, with an outdoor area containing a harm reduction zone, farm to table food, custom ear plugs and an incredible outdoor sound system. Once the music starts at No Way Back on Sunday night, it won't end until Tuesday morning — 32 hours of continuous music. A weekend wristband will allow you to experience this ever changing environment with no interruptions.
