HOLMES
Born in the Portland Oregon metro, Matt knew music was going to be an important part of his life at an early age. Growing up in a family of singers he was surrounded by musical influences from the day he was born. In his teenage years he discovered bands like Metallica, Nirvana, System of a Down, Rage against the Machine and Tool which shaped his later musical tastes and theories. In the early 2000's he would be introduced to drum and bass and the rest is history. His musical tastes remain broad and eclectic whether inside or outside the dance music space. Known for his melodic and haunting liquid drum and bass, he occasionally ventures into banging melodic breakbeats and big bassy house. Despite spending much of his early life in Portland Oregon he came up DJ’ing in the Houston Texas rave scene. Many of the early 2000’s trance and drum and bass luminaries of the South East Texas party scene shaped the drum and bass sound he brings today. Now back in the Pacific Northwest to raise a family, he offers an experienced and keen ear to get a crowd dancing and singing with smooth, melodic mixes.

BLACKVVOOL
Some words from Blackvvool himself
" I've been DJing since November 2020. Drum N Bass is my favorite genre I choose to spin since it's been a huge part of my life since the early 2000's. A few of my early influences are Twisted Individual, Calibre, John B and Randall. I tend to lean towards deep rollers when I spin, but anything that evokes emotion and visual stories in my head make it to the decks. I enjoy to spin DNB for others so they can have their own unique experience through my blends"

THE SHAMAN
Originally trained in the esoteric arts while living on an iceberg in Alaska. He fought his way past many a Warlock and Witch. To bring order to the universe, and magic back to the world. He waves his hand and the mix drops. Smoke appears and he vanishes leaving only a haunting melody in his wake. Prepare to see primal forces at work as the dancefloor turns into a summoning circle.
