A night of darknessJanuary 17, 2022EventsThis Friday I’ll be bringing a few good friends for my own curated night at our weekly Melt D&B collab/residency.

Uun Warehouse PartyJanuary 6, 2022EventsGrab tickets online early and save money at tickets.tavoo.co. Address will be sent to ticket holders the night of the event. Thrilled to be invited to play alongside one of Detroit techno’s most forward thinking & exciting live-acts/producers, Uun! Be prepared for a night of riveting, dark and electrifying techno at the Techno Snobs warehouse in downtown Phoenix. Come early and stay late – Disco Zombie is bringing his own Detroit flavor in the opening slot starting at 10pm, and I’ll be on the decks from 2-4am. Check out the high res flyer here. Uun has taken the scene by storm since 2012 with releases on mainstay labels such as Dynamic Reflection, Mord, Modularz, and Soma – not to mention his own personal project label “Ego Death” among others. His productions embody the perfect blend of evil yet energetic electronic dance music. His live sets are a simply mind bending extension of his production talents – always engaging, morphing and twisting through corridors of intelligent percussion sequences. Unlike the typically linear feel of a traditional DJ set, Uun’s live performance takes the less travelled, unpredictable route of continuously evolving sound. He has honed this performance around the world at musical meccas such as Khidi, Gegen, Griessmuehle, and Tresor. Expect a sensory-barrage powered techno workout and a night to remember with this exceptional artist at the wheel. Check out one of my favorite live sets from Uun on SoundCloud here. Check his label out on Bandcamp and his catalog on Discogs. His music is also available on Spotify and Beatport, and you can connect on social media using Facebook and Instagram.
