CHANGES

Live recording of my opening set at Fire! Drum and Bass in Victoria BC.

This set is a slow burn, kicking off with a range of 130-160bpm breakbeat focused selections. Once the tempo builds, expect a variety of Liquid, Dark Minimal, and funky DnB.

Massive thanks to the Downbeat Event Centre and Fire! DnB for having me out for this night. Was an honour to grace the new space with my selections. Big ups to Rhythmicon // Captured By Quinn for capturing my set, and most importantly, thank YOU for listening!

Live @ Fire! DnB - Feb 1 2025

This one’s for the Aruma Fam — the wildest, warmest family I know. You’ve been holding it down at Blazing Swan since the beginning, always bringing the love, the long-term hangs, and the comfiest damn vibes on the playa.

You lot don’t just throw parties — you transcend them. This bootleg mash is stitched together with memories of late-night dancefloors, morning sunrises, and that unshakable feeling of home you always manage to create.

Big love

– FunKnight

AMPATHY - THE WOMP 2025 - Smooth As Eggs

I reallly love the freedom of these long form restaurant sets. 4 hours in a room of strangers having dinner and drinks. No dancefloor. Ideally not really any real attention. I just get to catch a vibe and roll with it. Sometimes a new group shows up and I make a change to try and meet their energy, then slide back towards where I was before.
Listening back, my favorite moments are the ones that didn't quite work. Not a trainwreck or anything bad bad, but a blend that didn't really mesh how I wanted, or an energy shift that's just not the vibe....and EVERY time I feel that, within the next 4 minutes I either get back on course or flip the mood and start a new chapter. It makes these all the more interesting to play back later.

As is typical for me, we've got some deep house, chill ukg, a touch of deep dubstep, some liquid dnb, boom bap, low fi hip hop, and whatever else came into the moment.

Enjoy

THUMP 8:  ∞ [infinity] - Mixed & Blended By DJ PARALLAX

Affiliations:  True Crew, Tight Crew, Ultra Bass Records, Filthy Logik Records, SoulChampion.com, Revolt Festival

After over twenty years of pushing the dance music envelope around the globe, DJ PARALLAX recently stepped back from accepting gigs and touring due to continued loss of hearing.  Originating from Boston, his sets have been witnessed throughout the United States, Canada, & Europe. His acclaimed THUMP mix series has been credited with resurrecting and reintroducing the sounds of Speed Garage, Bassline and 4×4 UK Garage in North America. His former radio program named “The Sunday Scene” on the short-lived Digitally Imported UK Garage channel, garnered him increasing global attention for his music selection and mixing skills.
