"An artist who speaks as much on community as he does music, James Bangura wants to leave something for the next generation of artists to move forward with whilst also writing their own story."

Having released on labels such as MisterSaturdayNights, HausOfAltr, 3024, World Building, and Incienso, James Bangura has become a name we’ve heard consistently in dance music over the last few years. Being One of the co-founders of the group “Black Rave Culture” and also having a slew of independent releases dating back as far as 2012, James Bangura has maintained a steady pace for the last decade. James’s DJ ability is also something not to scoff at with an archive of various mixes that showcase James’s playful sensibility whilst maintaining a high level of tension and energy that keeps his audience wanting more. We can’t wait to see what the next decade has in store for this unique artist.

------------

Xav's musical style can be summarized as one word, emotional. When he's not DJaying, producing or growing his hometown dance community, he’s working with the prestigious Black Techno Matters or managing at his hometown club Loso in Richmond, Virginia.

Xav, a driving force in Richmond, Virginia's dynamic dance music scene, crafts sonic experiences that resonate deeply with audiences. His signature sound, best described as emotional, blends the rhythmic intricacies of house and techno, creating sets that are both captivating and uniquely evocative. Whether he's setting the stage for international headliners or commanding the peak-time slot, Xav's dynamic sets transcend genre boundaries, delivering unforgettable dance floor moments.

KITTY AMOR @ LOSO
w/ Electric Sun Society
Saturday, November 8
Doors: 8p
DJ Sets: 9p-2a
2727 W. Broad St.
21+

Kitty Amor:

The UK’s foremost ambassador for African-influenced electronic music, Kitty Amoris cultivating an impeccable legacy. An accomplished DJ, producer, sonic storyteller, label owner and advocate for underrepresented communities, her dedication to the afro sound is unwavering. Kitty’s a leader in pushing the sound into unfamiliar spaces with huge international debuts last year including, Glastonbury Festival, Voodoo Village, CORE Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival & ANTS Ibiza. 2025 is set to be on of her biggest years so far.

Production-wise, Kitty has demonstrated her natural musicality with a series of well-received singles and remixes, including the huge rework of Dennis Ferrer’s ‘Hey Hey’ with Da Capo, and a pinch-yourself-moment remix of London Grammar’s ‘Into Gold’. A lifelong digger, she has channelled her deep knowledge and appreciation of afro sounds into a highly-regarded record label, Mahaba Music, using her growing stature to champion a variety of artists from the Motherland and beyond. With a clear focus on what she wants to achieve and an ever-growing global following, Kitty continues to flourish professionally, creatively and personally.

Kitty’s latest single ‘The Answer’ (with AWEN) is indicative of her progressive outlook. A commentary on the tide turning towards women who DJ, it’s a call for genuine equality and solidarity, over mindless box ticking. As always, empowerment is at the core of Kitty’s messaging. The single is the first from an extended project, which is still in development and promises to be an exceptional body of work when it lands in 2025. Combining pulsating bass, captivating rhythms, rousing atmospherics and AWEN’s heartfelt vocals, ‘The Answer’ further solidifies Kitty’s prowess as a producer - a natural extension of her artistry as a selector.

Since she first stepped into the world of DJing in 2009, Kitty’s passion and love for African sounds have been central to her growth and evolution as an artist. Surrounded by esoteric music in her youth (her dad was a sound engineer for afrobeat music collectives), Kitty’s childhood grounding permeates into her spellbinding sets today. Drawing on those formative influences, she conjures up the mystical power of her own heritage and the lineage that emanates from the Motherland. Deep hypnotic basslines, spiritual chants, soulful vocals, uplifting melodies and tribal rhythms captivate audiences new and old with every performance. In London, during the 2010s, she cultivated a tight-knit community around her parties Sessions and Motherland. Motherland was featured in Mixmag in 2019 and the following year Kitty became one of the magazine’s cover stars, launching her onto the world stage.

Since that pivotal moment, all the years of tireless work and commitment to the afro sound have been the catalyst behind a long list of career-defining achievements: the first female afro house DJ to play Glastonbury in 2023, a brand partnership with Nike, a show-stopping appearance at Hi Ibiza with Vintage Culture and Fisher, a residency on Rinse FM, the launch of Mahaba Music, a 30-date World Tour and her incredibly personal and vulnerable documentary “Who Is Kitty Amor?” (which was picked up by the prestigious Iris Prize Festival). Kitty has been championed by some of the world’s most influential tastemakers including Benji B, Tiffany Calver, Pete Tong, Arielle Free, Fraser T Smith and Afrodeutsche. She has recorded sets for BBC Radio 1, Mixmag Lab, DJ Mag HQ, Triple J, Apple Music and Resident Advisor, alongside a live set on Channel O, a national television station in South Africa - the nation that has been intrinsic to her artistic development. Kitty’s connection to South Africa runs deeper than words can express. At the heart of her sound is the vibration of SA and its vibrant culture, combined with the energy of her hometown, London and, of course, the rest of Africa.

Representing the music from across the continent and her city, while also becoming a figure of inspiration for black and queer women, puts Kitty in an influential position and she takes the responsibility very seriously. Her desire to inspire, lead and platform others demonstrates an element of selflessness that is both admirable and vital. This can be seen in the signings to her label, Mahaba, launched in conjunction with electronic music powerhouse, Defected, the music she plays in her sets and her public advocacy of underrepresented artists, labels and nations. It’s her life’s mission; to showcase and promote inclusivity while empowering those who are often excluded from electronic music spaces. Cross-pollination is a key part of this mission; introducing the afro sound to unexplored dance floors and club spaces across the globe. Her appearance at Fisher’s party at Hi Ibiza, for instance, or performing alongside SG Lewis in New York and Eats Everything’s History Of Rave party at the Stonebridge tent at Glastonbury. It’s about taking the sound to people who may not be familiar, with positive reactions every time, which helps to grow the global following.

At every step of her journey so far, Kitty has honoured her African heritage. This can be heard permeating through her sets, which many observers comment have a unique vibe, distinct to Kitty herself and her curating skills. It’s also evident throughout her discography, since her debut on Get Physical - ‘Khoisan’, a collaboration with Thakzin through to the stunning ‘I Saw An Angel’, which was another massive milestone for Kitty. The track, written alongside the Nigerian singer-songwriter Somadina, received a major-label release via Warner Music Africa and Parlophone Europe. Her debut solo release, also marked the debut of her label Mahaba Music. ‘Solitude’ was a collaboration with the vocalist Nathan Nicholson, and it marked a big step in Kitty’s creative development. Perhaps highest on Kitty’s own list of production achievements is her remix of the iconic ‘Hey Hey’ by Dennis Ferrer. Produced with close friend Da Capo for Defected’s 25th anniversary celebrations, the track has a special place in her heart, thanks to its anthemic status for London’s clubbing community, in particular. Playing back-to-back with Da Capo at Ultra Festival in South Africa, and being able to play the remix there, kicked off Kitty’s epic 2024 in style.

Touring the world is now a regular occurrence for Kitty. Her tour diary is packed with high-profile gigs, giving her the perfect platform to showcase the afro sound to new audiences. Her ever growing list of standout performances includes appearances at Skepta and Jammer’s Mas Tiempo events and sets at Printworks, Hï Ibiza, Ushuaia, KOKO, Fabric, Tresor, Watergate and The Warehouse Project, through to festival appearances at Glastonbury, Voodoo Village, Big Smoke Festival, Lost Village, TRIIP Festival, Exit Festival, Tomorrowland CORE Defected Malta and Ultra South Africa in both Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Going back 15 years to the very start, it’s always been clear to Kitty that telling her story is paramount. Through sharing her own narrative, she is ensuring that representation of her sound, heritage, community, gender and sexuality is at the centre of her mission. A savvy, humble, highly creative and driven artist, Kitty is a powerful force for progression, steadily revolutionising the global electronic music scene with her visionary outlook. As her status continues to grow, and her natural talent flourishes, she’s bringing everyone up with her. Through her conscious and intentional action Kitty Amor is establishing a legacy rooted in love, positive social change, empowerment and an unwavering determination to spread the profound energy of the Motherland, Africa.

ANDI @ LOSO
w/ Stiffdance
Friday, November 7
Doors: 8pm
DJ Sets: 9pm - 2am
2727 W. Broad St
21+

Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets. The NYC-based DJ and producer constructs a dynamic and intoxicating flow that’s always palpable between the walls of the foggy, neon-lit dancefloor. Parts sleaze and sultry, Andi’s aesthetic is body music based, thriving on the delivery of the groove and the bombastic highs of a track’s apex. As a devotee of distinct sounds such as EBM, new beat, Italo, and freestyle—with hints of housey 90s elements—her sets reflect her deep vinyl collection: diverse, yet focused, and completely one-of-a-kind. She has most recently been called upon to DJ at Panorama Bar, Montreux Jazz Festival, Fold London, and Ombra Festival.

Her own productions aim to challenge the expectations within the confines of traditionally masculine dance genres. With bassline-heavy grooves and a conceptual emphasis on storytelling with samples taken from long-forgotten erotic thrillers and seedy sci-fi films, Andi adds a wry yet delicate touch to machine music.

Andi released Corpse to Corpus in 2020 and Compelling Evidence in 2023 on aufnahme + wiedergabe, as well as the Torque Force split EP with Randolph & Mortimer on Mecanica Records in 2021. Additionally, her collaborative electro-industrial project, Andi + Machino, released the Parafernales EP on Mannequin Records in 2023, and her track with Randolph & Mortimer is featured on Curses’ Next Wave Acid Punx Deux compilation. Most recently, she contributed a track to Dischi Autunno's Intermezzo Tre compilation with the track "End Program” and Next Wave Acid Punx Revamps with an edit of Philadelphia Five’s “Not Leaving Without Jerry.”

As the boss of SYNTHICIDE—the internationally known party, label and event series—Andi has cultivated the dark underground scene for over a decade in Brooklyn. SYNTHICIDE started at the notorious club in Bushwick, Bossa Nova Civic Club, where the party still holds a monthly residency. Additionally, Andi is a resident at The Lot Radio, NYC’s new hot spot Gabriela, and is a member of the ItaloMatic crew.

DJ Sets: 9p-2a
2727 W. Broad St.
21+

Halloween weekend at LOSO concludes with a special Community Service party featuring DJ sets from Juana, Rafael, and Tact! Costumes are encouraged!

_______

Juana has enticed crowds all over the world at venues such as Berghain, WAS, De School, Basement, Nowadays, and numerous underground warehouses. Over the past several years, Juana has played alongside DJs such as, DVS1, Jamaica Suk, Perc, Headless Horseman, 999999999, Efdemin, and DJ Stingray. Juana joined the Discwoman roster in 2017 and is a founding member of the DC QT BIPOC collective NOXEEMA JACKSON since 2021.

She started out like most, as a random kid on the dance floor every week at places like The Generator and Boom Boom Room, and has been DJing house, techno, and disco parties since roughly 2001. Juana moved to DC in 2003 and began hosting weekly live internet radio shows on HandzOnRadio (Baltimore) and Cyberjamz (Tampa) and playing parties in the DC deep house scene, upping her skills alongside legendary DJs like Sam “the Man” Burns,” and at clubs including Red and the DC Sanctuary. Juana started obsessively collecting disco and early house records in the late 90s and eventually developed an undying penchant for straight-ahead techno and darker shades of Chicago underground acid and deep house of the 80s and 90s.

_______

RAFAEL is a hard techno producer from Richmond, Virginia. Their production focus on high tempo, hypnotic, tool tracks that keep the dance floor moving.

Several of their releases can be found on labels like: Hardest Soft, Harmless Recs, PHAASER, Splinter Cell, Asylum Moscow, and Suram Fortress. With DJ mixes on VOITAX & The Lot Radio as well.

Representing themselves as a resident of COMMUNITY SERVICE, RAFAEL has been a staple in the underground techno scene in Richmond.

HALLOWEEN @ LOSO w/ SHAUN J. WRIGHT

2727 W. Broad St.

LOSO's official Halloween party featuring Chicago icon Shaun J. Wright! Yes, this is a costume party! Wear your freakiest fits and flex your inner freaks with us!

------------

A banjee child who loves to twirl and dip. I sing and DJ, too. Sometimes, while twirling and dipping...

Born and raised in west suburban Chicagoland, Shaun J. Wright spent most of their teen years immersed in the sounds of house music. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, house music was a powerful force, permeating the mainstream airwaves of Chicago’s most prominent radio stations. With Wright being raised in the epicenter of house culture during this era, their love for dance music began to expand throughout their high school years as they partook in the underground dance scene now globally known as Juke.

While in undergrad at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Wright developed their skills as a dancer in the vogue ballroom scene and professional dance companies. After acquiring an MA Fashion Curation from the London College of Fashion, Wright enjoyed an active career in fashion in New York City. That is where they met Andrew Butler, founder of Hercules and Love Affair, in 2008, and began a whirlwind collaboration with the ensemble as a vocalist. They spent nearly three years touring with the outfit, performing in major venues & festivals throughout North & South America and Europe. They’re also featured prominently on the ensemble’s lauded sophomore album, “Blue Songs’.

Returning to Chicago in 2012 to forge their solo career, Wright began to collaborate with respected DJ and producer Alinka. Promptly after beginning their party Twirl in the spring of 2013, Wright & Alinka released their first EP, Twirl Vol. 1, on the celebrated Classic Music Company led by luminaries Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter. They continued to expand upon the brand in late 2014 with their Twirl Records debut release “Journey Into The Deep” EP which included remixes from Kim Ann Foxman and Stereogamous. The label’s output has received much critical acclaim and has been supported by DJ Mag, XLR8R, Mixmag, BBC Radio 1’s Heidi and Annie Mac, and a plethora of notable DJ’s.

Wright continues to collaborate with other sought after producers including Chrissy, Kiki, System Of Survival, Stereogamous Bell Boys, Bobmo, and Nicholas, and has been released on Freerange, BPitch Control, Honey Soundsystem & Cocktail D’Amore, Discovery, Marble, and 4Lux, respectively. Wright steadily exhilarates dance floors internationally as a DJ weaving live vocals throughout their sets in locations as far and varied as: Sydney, Berlin (Panorama Bar), London, Auckland, Stockholm, Barcelona, NYC, Los Angeles and his hometown of Chicago (Smart Bar).

DJ MINX @ LOSO
w/ More TBA
Saturday, October 11
Doors: 8p
DJ Sets: 9p-2a
2727 W. Broad St
21+

A longtime fixture of Detroit’s club scene, DJ Minx is often referred to as the First Lady of Wax.Her mix sets as well as her productions range from deep and minimal to boisterous and funky, and she’s earned respect throughout the techno and house scenes. Active as a DJ since the early 1990s, she formed the Women on Wax collective and label, and started releasing tracks in the early 2000s, scoring an underground hit with the 2003 minimal house track “A Walk in the Park.” She continued honing her craft over the years and began receiving more widespread recognition during the 2010s, as her international bookings increased and she released further singles, like 2022’s “Do It All Night.”

Jennifer Damaris was born in Detroit in 1967. She began to DJ after a friend took her to see Derrick May spin at a club called the Music Institute in 1989. As DJ Minx, she started playing sets at another Detroit club, the Loft, and other parties in the city. She became close friends with Kevin Saunderson during the mid-’90s, and he gave her some guidance and encouraged her to develop her own style. Minx hosted a program called Deep Space Radio on Detroit station WGPR, and she provided voice overs on Saunderson’s X-Mix: Transmission from Deep Space Radio, a 1997 mix CD modeled after the show. Minx hosted another show called Steamy

Windows on CJAM, broadcasting from the University of Windsor, and she became a resident DJ at Club Motor in Hamtramck, Michigan, where she opened for established DJs from Detroit and abroad. She performed at the first Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2000 and continued to play the festival annually, including its subsequent iterations as Movement and Fuse-In.

Minx formed Women on Wax, a collective of female DJs and producers from the Detroit area, in late 1996, and she launched the label Women on Wax Recordings in 2001. Her debut EP, Introduction, was released as a white-label 12″ that year, and it was followed by Airborne in 2003. One of the record’s tracks, “A Walk in the Park,” became a hit among minimal techno DJs, and Richie Hawtin re-released it on his M_nus imprint, with remixes by producers like Ricardo Villalobos and Matthew Dear. Minx released the EP Fuzzy Navel in 2004 and collaborated with fellow Detroit house producer Pirahnahead as Animal Trax. Minx’s Midnite Bullet EP appeared

in 2008, and she made a brief appearance on Andrés’ 2009 album II.

More than two decades after she began her career in the club scene, DJ Minx finally started receiving recognition as a dance music legend during the 2010s. In 2015, Mixmag named her as one of the 20 women who shaped the history of dance music, and Time Out New York included her in a list of the Top Ten house DJs of all time in 2016. She was awarded the Spirit of Detroit award by the city council in 2018, along with Stacey Hotwaxx Hale, Underground Resistance’s Bridgette Banks, and other women who played a major role in Detroit’s dance scene. Minx left her job in the Detroit auto industry and pursued music full-time. She released several singles and EPs during the early 2020s, including Violet Groove, which featured an updated version of “A Walk in the Park.”

Minx came out as a lesbian in 2021, during Pride Month. Soon after, her image was featured in a mural on the side of Detroit’s Ruth Ellis Center dedicated to the city’s queer community, and her single “Purse First ” was released, with proceeds benefiting the LGBTQ+ community center. She also released an EP titled Queendom on London-based HE.SHE.THEY. and shared a split EP with another veteran Detroit producer, Gari Romalis. In 2022, Minx made her first appearance on BBC Radio 1’s long-running Essential Mix. Her song “Do It All Night,” previously featured on Carl Craig’s 2019 mix Detroit Love, Vol. 2, was given a full release on Planet E, with remixes by Craig and Honey Dijon. Minx continued playing at clubs and festivals around the world, and she was asked to curate her own stage at the 2022 edition of Movement.

SMITTY D [95 NORTH PRODUCTIONS] & WHYTEOUT @ LOSO
All Night Long
Friday, September 5
Doors: 8p
DJ Sets: 9p-2a
2727 W. Broad St
21+

Doug Smith (a.k.a. DJ Smitty D) has been a fixture in the global house music scene for more than 30 years. As one half of pioneering house duo 95 North Productions, Smitty D has written, produced and remixed numerous dance music recordings that have received worldwide acclaim.

The 95 North Productions sound was born in 1991 on an Ensoniq 16-Plus keyboard and first found its way to wax on the legendary NYC record label Strictly Rhythm in 1992 under the pseudonym Scram in the form of the tracks “Thank You” and “Off The Beaten Track.” The success of their first release led to several additional releases on Strictly Rhythm, including two EPs under the Groove Patrol pseudonym, and the song “Shattered Love” by singer/actress Brenda Braxton. The duo eventually adopted the name 95 North Productions (a nod to their frequent travels on I-95 North to NYC to shop music) and began blazing through the New York house music scene with releases on Emotive Records, Shelter Records, Kult Records, Henry Street Records, 4th Floor Records, Groove On Records, King Street Sounds, and more.

Their first major success occurred with the release of the classic single “Hold On” by Sabrynaah Pope on King Street Sounds in 1994 (supported and remixed by Louie Vega). The immediate follow up— a rendition of Earth, Wind & Fire's “See the Light” on NYC label Choice Records—became an underground classic, as did their piano-laden instrumental track “The Journey” on Shelter Records, which has the distinction of being the first record ever remixed by legendary Body & Soul resident, Joe Claussell.

Thanks to many of their early champions—including Sam “The Man” Burns, DJ Mandrill, Geoffrey C, DJ Oji, DJ Pope, DJ Spen, Tony Humphries, the late John Robinson, DJ Disciple, DJ Dove, Roger S., Little "Louie" Vega, and many others—their sound eventually travelled overseas, which led to DJ gigs all over Europe, including at the late Paul “Trouble” Anderson’s infamous Sunday night industry party, the Ministry of Sound in London, and Angels of Love in Italy. The combination of keyboards being playing over a live DJ set proved to be a hit everywhere they played. Smitty D also established two long held bi-weekly residencies in Washington, D.C.: one at the legendary Club Red (1996-2003), and the other at The Sanctuary at Vicki's (1999-2003).

Their musical success also led to a number of remix offers for artists ranging from from Jody Watley to George Duke to Crystal Waters to Kathy Sledge to Dru Hill. In 1994, they were commissioned by The Basement Boys to write “What I Need” for Crystal Waters’ second album, and eventually co-wrote and produced three songs for Crystal Waters' third album on Mercury Records. Their 1997 collaboration with Crystal Waters titled “Just a Freak” became the theme song for the major motion picture "Double Team" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dennis Rodman.

Describing the 95 North Productions “sound” is sometimes difficult as the duo has blazed the dance music world with an array of stylistically varied classic dance tracks, ranging from the full-on gospel brilliance of “Alright” by Mijan, to the loopy underground classic vibe of “Who's Hoo” on Henry Street, to the off-kilter “Odyssey” on Groove On Records, to the way-ahead-of-its-time “Elevation” on Large Records, to their 1995 classic “Let Yourself Go” on Kult Records, which is considered by many in the UK to be one of the foundational records of the UK Garage movement.

95 North Productions finally received a taste of mainstream success in Europe with the release of their biggest single "Sunday Shoutin'" on 4th Floor/Defected Records, done under their Johnny Corporate pseudonym. Widely viewed as one of the top songs of the 2000 Winter Music Conference, “Sunday Shoutin’” was supported by everyone from Pete Tong to Louie Vega to Tony Humphries to David Morales to Roger S. and beyond, "Sunday Shoutin'" remained a dance floor staple for the better part of a year and went on make it to the number 45 position on the pop charts in the UK. It is still in rotation in top clubs around the world and has been sampled numerous times, most recently by Mark Knight for his chart topping 2020 dance hit “All 4 Love” on Toolroom Records.

Whyteout began his DJ journey in late 1990 in the south suburbs of Chicago. Before long he ventured north to the legendary club Medusa's where he was exposed to a variety of different sounds from industrial to techno to disco parties with DJ Rush and Armando Gallop. It was this variety that helped form the basis for his eclectic tastes.

Soon he began regularly spinning in the pre-rave loft party scene alongside the likes of Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, and Diz to name a few. "We were playing disco, trax, and the latest MAW offerings all in the same set," Whyteout states. "I was always a student... learning from any source I could. It was definitely a labor of love."

As time passed, Whyteout took his show on the road playing countless venues and festivals around the States. Events for WMC (Miami), Movement and Charivari (Detroit), the Clubhouse Jamboree (NYC), and the Silver Room Block Party (Chicago) are all on his resume. He continues to share his unpredictably infectious groove while sharing the stage with talent from around the world.

We're celebrating Elliott & Jon Jar’s birthdays for this edition of Local Love <3

——————

Elliott

From hip hop to hippie to straight up house head, Elliott’s life has always revolved around listening to, learning about, digging for and experiencing music. For nearly 15 years, that energy has been pumped into dance music starting in the blog house era and evolving from there to a more open-format style that defined his pre-pandemic BUTTER parties. Since the lockdown of 2020, his journey has led him deeper into the sound of the underground, drawing inspiration from legends like Honey Dijon, Kerri Chandler, Moodymann, and Classic Music Co. label co-founder Luke Solomon. This very journey has led him to collaborating with restaurateur & LOSO club creator Brandon Pearson since 2021, as well as opening for and sharing booths with the likes of DJ Minx, DJ Holographic, Kim Ann Foxman and HoneyLuv.

——————

Jon Jar

Jon Jar is known for his high-energy, house and techno mixes that blur the lines between genres. As a Richmond-native, Jon has been hypnotizing RVA's dance floors with his unique blends of high-bpm techno, house, and hardgroove weapons. He's played alongside artists including Ardalan, Kyle Walker, Shiba San, Lubelski, Morgan Page, Le Youth, and SNBRN. In 2018, Jon co-founded the collective 4 ON THE FLOOR to bring more house music to Richmond's scene; curating nights that showcased the best local talent and fostering a community of like-minded house enthusiasts.

——————

David Goza is a seasoned DJ with 10+ years of experience, known for seamlessly blending genres like tech house, minimal/deep tech, Latin house, techno, and breaks into a cohesive and dynamic sound. His sets are a journey through driving basslines, hypnotic rhythms, vibrant percussive beats, and eclectic breaks, all intertwined to create a unique and unforgettable dance floor experience. David’s passion is curating safe, inclusive spaces where people can lose themselves in the music and dance with complete freedom.

——————

Xav's musical style can be summarized as one word, emotional. First exposed to the dance and DJ community in 2018, by 2019 he co-founded the EDM group Bass Trinity. Once truly learning the differences in styles and most importantly origins of dance music, his focus shifted towards house and techno exclusively. Since then he has played across numerous clubs and venues in the Mid Atlantic. Currently when he's not working on production or expanding the dance community in his hometown of Richmond Virginia, he acts as the East Coast & Richmond liaison for the prestigious Black Techno Matters while also getting ready for the launch of his melodic techno centric brand/label Ariose Agenda.
