Trevor Vichas is originally from Portland, Oregon. After making a name for himself in the Portland and Seattle scenes, he’s now a seasoned DJ/producer and well-respected among his peers. Jumping headfirst into a dark, dirty warehouse party in 1996 with dj’s Kenny Larkin, Stacy Pullen, and Steve Loria. 15-year-old Trevor got hooked on that house sound underneath that party’s single, red light. His addiction to record collecting quickly turned into a full-on DJ habit, and the rest is history.

Trevor started playing at the infamous Zoot Suite in Portland until it shut down in the early 2000s. This led to gigs at numerous other underground clubs, parties, and raves in the Northwest and beyond. He’s known for his ability to bring in and seamlessly blend many shades of house and techno, drawing inspiration from soul, disco, funk, hip-hop, R&B and all that jazz. Through life’s ebbs and flows, he has always stayed focused in the studio crafting new beats.

Trevor’s dedication to the craft over the years has earned him many reputable imprints and numerous respected performances. He has held residencies in both Seattle’s Baltic Room and Tonic Lounge, and has played multiple times at the prestige Sunday night “Flammable” aka Chruch. In Portland, he held residencies at Pala, Afterdark, and the infamous Groove Suite, where he worked as the booking manager for nonlocal talent and promoted his event night, “Connections” – a series of nights in various nightclubs and in conjunction with outdoor events in the Portland area.

Once compared to Derrick Carter or early DJ Sneak, his sounds have found their way into the sets of both artists, as well as Mark Farina, Iz & Diz, Phil Weeks, Hector Morales, and DJ Heather – some of his personal favorite performers and creators. At every milestone he reaches,  Trevor remains humble and hungry for what’s next. He spends countless nights in the studio making music just for the joy of it, learning new audio tricks, teaching himself music theory, and striking new chords – or as he likes to call it, ”fuck around and find out.” For him, the music washes away the grit of 9 to 5 every night when he finally digs in.

Trevor’s achievements and capacities as a DJ have seen him playing alongside top-rated acts in the House community, including Gene Hunt, Phil Weeks, Chuck Love, Mike Grant, Iz & Diz, Hector Moralez, Mark Grant, Rimtha, Tommy Largo, Fred Everything, Mystic Bill, Johnny Fiasco, Justin Martin, Justin Long, Jacob London, Mazi, Jason Hodges, Brett Johnson and Terrence Parker. His production work has found its way to many top labels, with notable releases on Demuir’s imprint, Pervoyer Underground Limited, and Mark Farina’s imprint, GLA. With his long-time production mate Tommy Largo (aka The Dutch Master), Trevor released on Ultra Knight’s and Phil Week’s imprint, Robsoul Recordings.

Taking his skills further still, Trevor has played Winter Music Conference in Miami, for the House Salad crew in Mexico City, and across the pond in Europe, while also playing many premier nights and clubs along the West Coast, including the notorious Om Happy Hour and at The EndUp in San Francisco.

Through and through, Trevor is a house head for life. In 2025, he’s back at it with upcoming vinyl and digital releases on Mate Records, GreenHouse Music, Selections Music, Frosted Recordings, and more.
