Together\, they make politically astute hard rock funk. Their songs are musically diverse and carry a strong\, socially conscious message that wants the audience to party while hearing it. Formed in 2014\, STN has released two full-length albums and is thrilled to have contributed 6 original tracks for Octavia Of Earth Volume 2. \n\n\n\nAbout DJ Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist\n\n\n\nAs a Bay Area resident from New York\, Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist (aka Renoir) made his mark as the founder of True Skool (est. ’99).
