McNasty is a Denver-based DJ and producer, originally hailing from Raleigh, NC. A self-taught, multi-instrumental musician from a young age (drums, piano, guitar), he brings a deep-rooted understanding of music’s core foundation to every performance giving him an instinctual grip on what makes a track HIT. Known for his electrifying stage presence, McNasty’s genre-blending sets are more than just music - they’re full on journeys. His sets aren’t just high energy - they’re explosive, unpredictable, and unapologetically filthy.

From high-energy, crescendoing bass drops to soul-stirring melodies , hypnotic 4x4 house and techno rhythms, his sets also dive into the raw intensity of drum & bass and the mind-bending layers of psytrance. Like an orchestrated symphony, each performance is designed to move your body, elevate your spirit, and keep you locked in the groove. Whether you’re vibing in the crowd or deep in the flow, McNasty will have you riding the rhythm, getting your hips low, and - true to his name - getting NASTY!!
