The Give Thanks festival lays claim to being the largest Thanksgiving weekend electronic dance music event in Northern California. The three-day festival begins Wednesday with the Parisian DJ duo of Tchami and Malaa. Their latest single, “The Sermon” comes from their upcoming collab EP, No Redemption. Malaa’s old-school style blends with Tchami’s new-school tone synergistically, putting a distinctly modern twist on breakbeat-driven ’90s house. The Las Vegas-based American producer 3LAU headlines the Friday-night show with his maximalist laser-beam beats, while the Mad Decent-signed L.A. duo Slander close out Saturday with their signature “heaven trap” sound.
