Augustus Williams (Gusto) is a Detroit techno artist, DJ, and live-hardware performer with more than two decades in the city's underground. A Metroplex recording artist signed to Juan Atkins' foundational label, he builds floor-driven techno in real time from drum machines and sequencers, moving fluidly between DJ, hybrid, and full live-hardware sets. His machine-driven sound has carried him from Detroit warehouses to the Movement Festival stages and a Detroit-Berlin Connection residency.
