Brainwork & mnml - Grey

California based artist representing Rhythmic Remedies & Yeska Beatz Crew

Started djing when I was 15 to my parents and neighbours disdain, shock and outright misunderstanding. I began on limit belt drives, a mixer nobody ever heard of, an amp that i can only describe as stolen from your grandads stack system with speakers found at a junk yard piled on a table that was only fit to do the wallpapering pumping out happy hardcore, surrounded by rave posters and a big old SV slammin vinyl I painted on the bedroom wall. ahh, the 90s. 

vinyl/dv mixes. Liquid Drum & Bass/Progressive House.

weekly shows on mixcloud for the moment as I am contemplating options. 

Pharaosa proudly represents the underground scene of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Where for years, he has been deeply inspired by many of the local artists and events.

A percussionist at heart, he was drawn to Drum & Bass, and of course Dubstep, specifically Dungeon/Deep/Tech. Through this sub-genre, he found the sound that he wanted to be associated with. The deeper he went down the rabbit hole, the more inspired he became. Some of his earlier findings were releases by Darj, Dark Entity, Mishva, Subreachers and Leon Switch. After years of enjoying countless events, Pharaosa made his debut at Even Further 2018 with Aimerie and Kryptic Disciple. Shortly after he was asked to open for Joe Nice, and Ternion Sound at the following Subsequential event. 

Over the past few years, Pharaosa focused all of his efforts into Drum and Bass. Finding a lot of inspiration from artists like: Creatures, Bredren, Thematic, Minor Forms, & Geostatic. After spending most of 2023 creating his own sound, he started to reap the benefits of those efforts. Opening for Chase and Status, Reso, Mefjus, Camo & Krooked, and making his Infrasound Music Festival Debut was just the beginning..
