At Moogfest 2017, producer and DJ heavyweight Peanut Butter Wolf of Stones Throw Records distinction, played a set on the ATC lawn. Amidst the incredible 2017 Moogfest lineup, Peanut Butter Wolf’s DJ set was easily one of my favorite acts. As a huge A Tribe Called Quest fan and Pete Rock fan, I’m pretty jazzed for Legends on the Lawn.
