I promise a 2015 Halloween mix if my dissertation project gets funded! Go to: http://www.experiment.com/trophyskulls!

I've been playing house and techno for over 15 years. In North Carolina, I played primarily in the Triangle and the Triad. With a UNC-Chapel Hill colleague, I founded the Carolina Electronic Music Symposium, which received a good deal of university funding (UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University) to organize academic lectures (A-Trak, Faust and Shortee), a performance series, and several monthly indoor and outdoor events. 

After moving to Nashville, TN in 2008, I  started my own weekly mix show, the Electric Loop Lounge, on WRVU (Vanderbilt University). 

Now I'm in Denver, and I've been taking break from DJing to do my dissertation research and writing, but I promise I'll get back to throwing down the best progressive, tribal, and tech-house beats I can find soon!

Music has been part of my life since I can remember. I played Cello, Guitar and Recorder as a young kid. I later found Electronic & House Music as a teen dancing and making mixtapes of my favorite tracks for friends. In 99/00 one of my best friends and DJ mentors let me borrow his Technics and DJM 600. Soon after, I began performing out in local Bars/Clubs and Desert Parties in the Southwest. 

In 2005, my DJ partner(@jimstephens80) and I started a Thursday night weekly party in Santa Fe, NM called Tantra Thursdays at an underground speakeasy - The Hideaway. Imagine red walls with candles dripping down, Buddhas and sultry deep house music. We were able to create a vibe with the music that moved us and people loved it. During the Pandemic in 2020, we brought the spirit of Tantra Thursdays online to Twitch and started a weekly show that is still running. 

Throughout the last 22 years of performing, I've been lucky enough to meet and DJ with iconic artists such as Jody Wisternoff, Joeski, Dave Seaman, Kaskade to name a few. It is always incredible to witness a master of their craft. Their movements are automatic and effortless, like they are playing in their living room for friends. I always aspire to have that level of comfort and joy come through in my sets.

If you would like to hear more, you can come say hello for a live set on https://Twitch.TV/tantra_thursdays every Thursday at 7:30PM MST

Matthew ‘Bushwacka’ B, a percussionist in the London School Symphony Orchestra who was converted into a member of the infamous Rat Pack after a warehouse party in ’88, has been DJing for over 30 years now. From that first Acid House experience Matthew quickly started playing all over London, holding residencies at four of the most famous clubs in town by the time he was 18 years old. From London the gigs spread countrywide, doing up to 8 shows a weekend, and then into Europe and the USA by 1992.
 
It was via a mutual friend Mr C that Layo & Bushwacka! first met, whilst Matthew was working at his studio, and by the mid 90s the two had started writing music together. Over a decade later, the partnership has yielded three artist albums, three mix albums, internationally renowned club residencies and a superb record label. 

By 1999 they’d already composed their debut album, ‘Low Life’, released on End Recordings, the label spawned by The End. The album announced the arrival of the duo as a force in electronic music, with a record that brought together electro, house and breakbeat fused with blues, dub and downtempo, all underpinned and informed by their collective experience of underground culture. This inclusive and open minded approach to sound became the blueprint for their future work.

Their sophomore album followed in 2002, this time released on the mighty XL Recordings. Entitled ‘Night Works’, the record featured their unforgettable top ten hit ‘Love Story’, and took their sound onto a bigger and broader canvas, charting all over the in the process. The accompanying live show brought further acclaim with stunning shows from Homelands to Sonar, whilst their famous DJ sets had now garnered residencies at some of the world’s finest clubs including Space in Ibiza, Warung in Brasil and of course The End in London. While this explosion was happening, Matthew was also achieving huge solo success with his remixes for Depeche Mode, his bootleg of Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, and getting phone calls from Madonna wanting him to work on her music. It was a crazy time. 

Their End residency, known as All Night Long, became one of the capital’s most revered nights with Layo & Bushwacka! taking the club through an edifying tour-de-force of electronic music.
 
When The End closed its doors for the last time in 2009, Layo and Bushwacka! started the Shake It brand and threw amazing warehouse parties all over London, booking Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Magda, Laurent Garnier and many other friends, and created dancefloor destruction for 4 years. The parties were legendary, the energy incredible.


Layo & Bushwacka!’s reputation as two of the world’s foremost DJ duos is rock solid. Four artist albums have proven them remarkably talented producers, capable of mixing styles, tempos and genres to create enduring and engaging electronic music. Their trio of mix albums and international club residencies have shown they are masters of the turntables, sonic connoisseurs who can guide a dance floor on an epic journey through the many facets of their sound. Their label Olmeto meanwhile has become a bastion for quality, a label that, much like its figureheads, has become a rubber stamped seal of class, and many of their vinyl only releases have become sought after rarities.
 
In 2013 Bushwacka! took some time out to focus on his solo Just Be project, recording on Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical and Intec, while Layo created a new empire in Soho, of world class restaurants, applying his magic touch to everything he does. Five years later, Bushwacka! started touring and recording again under his original name, only on select shows and keeping it special for the fans, old and new.
