We are beyond excited to welcome back Ranger Trucco and his event series, range., on June 13th at the KDC Ruins! Ranger Trucco’s rapid ascent in the house music scene has been remarkable, with his breakthrough moment arriving in when Space Yacht invited him to perform on their Tech My House virtual tour. Even more impressive is his background—hailing from Traverse City, Michigan, a place not exactly synonymous with a thriving nightlife or house music culture.

In just a few years, Ranger Trucco has taken the stage at some of the most notable festivals and venues across the country. His performances at events such as Experts Only, Hard Fest, Splash House, Hangout Fest, and Electric Forest—where he came full circle as it was one of the festivals that first sparked his passion for house music—have cemented his reputation as a standout on any lineup. He’s also left his mark at renowned venues like The Shrine, Sound LA, and Club Space, building a loyal fan base with his signature sets.

Joining Ranger is RUZE, a Birmingham-based house music duo named “Ones To Watch” by Beatportal. They've performed at major venues and festivals including Tomorrowland, fabric London, and Pacha Barcelona. Their work has received airplay on BBC Radio 1 from Pete Tong and Danny Howard, and their releases have reached top positions across Beatport and Traxsource charts.

Given Ranger’s experience playing some of the most prominent shows across the U.S., it’s no surprise that he’s launched his own event series, range., which has already made its way to cities like Miami, New Orleans, Denver, Brooklyn, and Tempe.
