The legendary summer '26 run begins Friday, May 1st with my dude @marvellis . Coast peeps: come thru, let's get wavy! Hiphop pilgrims: nowhere better to bomb out to for that drippy NW flavor than @primaltones . Can't wait to rock this!
It’s an honor to welcome back to the Hidden GEMini Gathering stage @marvellis & @olddeevz , a duo that was there in the beginning, ten years ago at our unparalleled venue that is @trinityhotsprings . I am humbled for the opportunity to be such close friends with my favorite artists. I am arguably Marvs biggest fan. Before Free Creatures, he has had what I call the holy grail of solo and collaborative work. I’m beyond excited to see what he’s cooking up next.
From the underground of Eugene to stages around the world…
Marv Ellis carved his own lane in hip hop—not chasing fame, but refining a sound that’s entirely his own: Neuro-Spicy NW Hip Hop. A blend of folkloric storytelling, rhythm, and raw authenticity. Now stepping into his Gear 5 era—positive, uplifting, and dynamic. 18 albums deep and still evolving.
Alongside him is DJ DV8, a cornerstone of the Eugene underground scene since the early 2000s. He has built a reputation for precision, creativity, and feel.
The two have become Oregon’s longest-running hip hop duo—building a deep catalog, and pushing the boundaries of live performance to new dimensions since 2006.
Rooted in the Northwest. Built for the moment.
Come witness what’s next.

So grateful to all those that came out to see the rebirth. I couldn’t be more grateful for all the true support we received. I couldn’t be more thankful for @olddeevz & @axeandfiddle for such a great experience. Only up from here. I cannot wait to unleash this new music on you guys.

This is a friendly invite to attend a special show. This Saturday is on purpose. Because I want family to be there. I wanna represent from my hometown. It’s been 25 years since I started playing live. And I’m honestly surprised that I’m still going. But here I am. I will be joined by my long time DJ @olddeevz who is ALSO Celebrating his 25th year anniversary of playing live. We both have been on quite a journey through multiple bands across multiple lands, rocking small to large venues, always representing our hometown Eugene. It’s half sold out at the present moment, if the ducks lose, I’ll be there to console you. If the ducks win, I’ll be there to celebrate with you. From the youth to the elders, it’s been an honor to Rock for you guys. ⚡️ Sidenote, it’s also the last show ever at @sambondsgarage . (For reals this time) It’s an honor to perform for this moment, at my Father’s original watering hole. Across the street from @papassoulfoodkitchen 🙏🏼
