ARJ (IR) LIVE @ CTRLROOM FOR JUNCTION TRANSMISSIONS

Had an absolute blast playing at the second volume for my collective, Drift State vol. 2! Stuck true to my progressive sound and the crowd loved it! Massive thank you to @sahatrix (Instagram handle) for taking sick shots, and for the Deep House Toronto members @thomashernanmusic and @djsamoan for coming through - having the opportunity to have @locotek play with us and to play before him was a real dream come true.

Had 3 decks in the mix the whole time again as I usually do and hope you guys enjoy! See you at the next Drift State event. 🫶🫶🫶
