I’m excited to announce that I’ve joined the Pressure Drum & Bass crew as an official resident! These guys are passionate and driven, 2022 is going to be full of great music! To commemorate, I’ve uploaded my mix from their recent outing with Doc Scott and Vector Burn fo dat ass:
Enjoy!
Are we dreaming?? Pressure Drum & Bass is a new monthly event happening in Scottsdale, AZ, and for the fourth edition they’re bringing us the 31 Records founder & LEGEND Doc Scott alongside the OG Vector Burn!
This party is going to be absolutely bonkers. Doc has been doing the damn thang for as long as I’ve been alive, and Vector Burn is iconic in his own right (Paradise Lost anyone???). I’m ecstatic to have the opportunity to open for these talented artists and hope to see you all there.
Advance tickets are $15, grab them online at tickets.tavoo.co as usual. Check the promoter out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pressurednbaz/

This saturday, I’ll be playing some D&B with the Melt crew on twitch. All info is available on the Stream section of my page, here. I’ll be on at 9:00!
The boys over at the Melt crew have formally invited me to jump on board as part of the team, and as my first resident booking I will be closing out a warehouse with Gigantor (remember Evol Intent?)! I’ve traditionally been wary of jumping in with a crew for various reasons, but everyone involved seems to have a burning passion and good balance between party and professional. As a bonus, every DJ in the group is very experienced and skilled. This is a great environment to exist in from an artistic standpoint – there is nothing more beneficial than having people around you pushing you to improve.
Evol Intent was one of the most influential musical forces that I discovered as a teenager when first getting familiar with electronic music. Not only being able to see one of the founding members in 2019, but also being a part of the party (AND throwing it in a WAREHOUSE) is a massive massive massive move for me personally. I could not be more excited for this event.
We’ve all been working hard to make sure this one is a big success, from promotion, to performance, to production. All angles have been covered and we are ecstatic to make this happen for Phoenix. We’ve had a large void when it comes to drum and bass in warehouses, so this will definitely be a step in the right direction again for phoenix.
Tickets are available for $10 via bandcamp, grab a presale now and save some money at the door:
