BIO:

My name is Noah, also known as Noahroxit, and I’m a DJ. I started learning how to DJ when I was 15, and I strive to keep going until the day I die.

I originally began as a Dubstep DJ, inspired to create mixes and remixes of nostalgic songs I grew up with. When I first started playing shows, I was in college at Temple University in Japan. Living there taught me that being a DJ is more than just mixing songs—it’s about being open-minded.

I play songs from different genres, artists, and sounds, many of which I had to learn on my own. My goal is to be the kind of DJ people can depend on—someone they can relate to and express themselves through. I try not to limit myself to one genre, because I want to show people that all music is beautiful in its own way.

I intend to be the best I can be, so I can prove that no matter where you come from or what you like, you can become anything.

Born out of rhythm, rebellion, and a shared love of sonic alchemy, the Cause Chaos Project is the brainchild of Colorado-based DJs David Lawson (SlayDay) and Antonio Futrelle (Dizzy), two genre-defying artists who've reshaped the pulse of Colorado's EDM scene.

Their debut release, DIMES, dropped in September and marked more than just a collaboration—it ignited a movement. Known for their seamless fusion of electronic subgenres, hip-hop grit, and bass-heavy atmospherics, SlayDay and Dizzy bring contrasting energies that collide in perfect chaos. What sets them apart isn't just technical prowess but lived experience that honed their musical instincts through years in marching bands and traditional ensembles, layering discipline with raw creativity.

With roots in performance and a future aimed at breaking boundaries, Cause Chaos delivers experiences, not just sets. They've built a reputation for high-energy shows that blur the line between underground rave and polished production. Their mission? To disrupt. To electrify.
