Why did you get into DJing and music production?
I love to dance and I'm addicted to good beats.
Where do you currently live? Whitefish, Montana.
Is that where you’re from originally?
No, Media, Pennsylvania(outside of Philadelphia).
What inspires you to DJ?
Heavy and feel good bass vibrations with soothing intricate and dance worthy sounds.
What inspires you about electronic music culture?
It inspires me in all aspects of life. I love the feeling when there is a big group of people that come together to share the love of a certain type of music. I love meeting awesome people and working with them on new music or dance moves. It inspires me to be more creative and to move my body in new ways. The energy in electronic music really matches my personality and it inspires me to go further in life.
What genres are in your mix?
Rooted Dubstep, Bass music, Baltimore Club, Trap, reggae.
Can you tell us a little bit about it?
This mix was deeply inspired by rooted dubstep and bass music. My 2 favorite genres of music. Now that I live here in Montana in the mountains, it has given me the clarity to really dive into what moves me as an artist and DJ. One of my favorite eras of DJing is when I spun dubstep back in 2009. I made an all vinyl mix called DuBlissious with my favorite hand picked records. Still one of my favorite mixes. This is a continuation of that mix, I even reinvented some of the mixes from the first edition. This mix has a lot of melodic feels with deep bass lines delivered in the most beautiful of transitions. I took old school rooted dubstep and mixed it with more present day basslines, keeping it locked around 140bpm. I carried reggae sounding beats throughout. The beauty of these tunes have put me in a trance when I listen back to this mix, really taking the listener on a journey. This mix includes some of my most favorite 140bpm tunes I’ve produced myself as well as brand new production that I have yet to release. It also includes some of my favorite tunes that really moved me by other amazing producers.
Who are some of the artists in your mix?
Cimm, Shlump, Nahlith, Oz, Hamdi, Rakjay, Substrada, Vaski, The Maker, Eva808, Wildabeast, 6Blocc, Madam Bliss, Headland, Merricat Black, Skinny Limbs, G-space, Subscape, Matty G, Tiedye Ky, Pipus, Tsou, Kursa, Hexed X Labs, Chief Kaya, Synkro, MRK1, DJ Sliink, Scuba, M!ngo.
