Update 4/19: Sorry readers, I was notified that this event has been cancelled. You can still catch Sub Focus performing tonight alongside Nero, Zedd and Dillon Francis at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles.

2012 has been a great year so far and the Spring season shows no signs of slowing down. On that note, I’m really happy to announce that I’m part of the “Coachella week” festivities when many of the artists performing at the festival will be holding their own solo events around LA in the days between the two Coachella weekends. Thanks to the awesome crew at Bassrush, I’ll be performing alongside Sub Focus at the newly-reopened Fonda Theatre on Thursday April 19th with my very close friends Kill The Noise and Bro Safari.

The event is 18+ and you can snag your advance tickets below. I’m really glad the Fonda Theatre venue is returning to the live music rotation in LA and I’m extra stoked to be on a bill with such talented artists!

Funktion Wednesdays are back in April with a stellar lineup that has something for everyone. I’m particularly excited to be playing on April 25th in support of Pendulum, who will be stopping through for a special big room DJ set at Avalon Hollywood. I’ve never seen a poorly attended Pendulum show, so if you want to guarantee entry you should buy tickets in advance:

Yes, I’m finally attending a music conference again! I’ll be on the ground at SXSW this year representing for Deceast in a variety of ways. First up, I’m really happy to be performing at Stateside Bass Sessions on Wednesday March 14th, presented by Austin’s own SUB.CONSCIOUS crew. It’s going down at Plush ATX, a club/lounge venue in downtown Austin and features an all-star lineup of America’s finest bass music artists: Evol Intent, Quadrant, Submorphics, LeDoom, Sinistarr and many more. You can see the full lineup and get all the details at the official Facebook event page.

Second up, I want to meet all the people I can! If you’re reading this and you’ll be in Austin, we should try to meet up. Contact me here, or hit me up on Twitter, SoundCloud or Facebook. I’ll be in Austin from Tuesday March 13th to Saturday March 17th and I hope to meet some new folks and re-connect with friends who are usually scattered all over the planet!

Hospital Records, one of my all-time favorite record labels, is bringing their premier club night Hospitality to Los Angeles for the first time. In celebration of Hospital’s 15th Anniversary, some of the label’s biggest names will be touring the US to spread their signature melodic drum & bass style.

The LA date features High Contrast, Netsky and Dynamite MC alongside sets from Denver’s DJ Fury and I. I’m really looking forward to this one as I spent the formative years of my time as a DJ playing liquid funk and other styles of lighter drum & bass. You can secure presale tickets by purchasing through Flavorus.

If you’re not in Los Angeles, Hospitality is touring all over North America, so make sure to check out the full itinerary.

The weekly drum & bass event presented by Bassrush is back in 2012 with a new location, an expanded format and the same quality control as the original club night that went on hiatus back in 2008. The Music Box in Hollywood is the new home of Funktion and the venue features all kinds of nice touches such as a massive sound system, a rooftop bar / lounge and capacity for up to 1500 attendees. While the original weekly event focused only on drum & bass, this latest incarnation of Funktion will incorporate all types of bass music while maintaining the night’s drum & bass roots.

It all kicks off on January 4th, 2012 and the first month’s lineup is nothing short of ridiculous. Longtime drum & bass champions like DJ Hype and Dieselboy will be gracing the decks alongside members of the new generation of bass music artists such as Rusko and Downlink.

Buy Tickets

UPDATE 1/4: Tonight’s Funktion featuring Rusko is sold out — there may be a few tickets available for purchase at the door, early arrival is highly suggested.

UPDATE 1/7: LAist, LA Weekly and others report that The Music Box, the venue where Funktion Wednesdays is being held, has closed. I’m not sure what this means for the future of the event but once I have more information I’ll share it here.

Update 1/10: As reported by LAist and LA Weekly, the Los Angeles music community was caught off guard by the surprise closing of the venue last week, leaving Funktion Wednesdays without a venue. No alternate venue has been announced yet, although I’ve heard that Bassrush will actually be splitting the upcoming Wednesday events between Avalon and Dim Mak Studios until a new, permanent location can be secured.
