Some artists dream of doing Electric Forest once. Channel Tres did it twice — in a day.
The self-described “Compton House” artist pulled double duty at Electric Forest this past Saturday, kicking the party off with a DJ set soundtracking the festival’s Pride stage takeover — alongside fellow headliners Snow Wife, Cain Culto, and Rochelle Jordan — before returning for a full live performance later that night. Fresh off announcing his sophomore album, Enigma POV, arriving Aug. 14, the artist looks to be carrying his signature genre-blurring sound into his next era.
Ahead, take an exclusive look behind-the-scenes with Channel Tres as he prepares to navigate two sets in one festival day behind the decks and center stage.
