“Respect your elders” usually suggests that a person has reached the end of their run, but DJ Three continues to be as influential as he was in the early-’90s when Trip Magazeen was the heartbeat of a local electronic music scene.

The DJ and producer is back in the booth with longtime scene staple Brian Busto for a four-hour, all-vinyl set complete with three decks and a mixer.

Tickets to see DJ Three play The Nest at St. Pete Brewing Co. in St. Petersburg on Saturday, April 18 are still available for $24.80 and up.
