After 23 years of NAF STUDIOS shutting down, I put together a mix for the drive home following the NAF Resurrection party! This is a personal, nostalgic tribute to the vibes that shaped Seattle's rave scene. This venue holds so many cherished memories, from production crews throwing unforgettable events to a massive warehouse where people of all ages could dance until the sun came up. The mix captures the energy of everything from trance and breaks to speed garage, house, and techno. Hope you enjoy it too! <3

Inspired by legendary Seattle rave promoter Tony Russel of Cat in the Hat Productions (Active from 1989-1994), Seattle Outbreak was created in 2003 by Kathryn and Jerry. By late 2005 several of the members of Seattle Outbreak, including Kathryn and Jack, decided to branch off Seattle Outbreak in order to do smaller and in our opinion cooler events. Events that focus more on environment, decor and vibe something that is difficult to provide on a large scale. That is the origin of Evilsequence. We do things differently. We believe in acting with integrity and placing the audience first.

I’m just here to find some dirty beats to shake my ass to. Broken Beats preferred. DubAngel on Twitch

Gruv1 (groove-one) is more than a name—it’s a movement. The brainchild of AJ Sorbello, Gruv1 is a call to connect on the dancefloor through rhythm, vibration, and pure intention. Blending Tech House, Speed Garage, and timeless House grooves, his sets aren’t just heard—they're felt.
With releases on Orphan Music and his own imprint Build It Records, Gruv1 channels a deep-rooted philosophy: when we dance in rhythm, we move in unity. Each performance is a ritual of energy exchange—hypnotic basslines, uplifting builds, and the kind of flow that gets under your skin and into your soul.
Whether he's behind the decks or behind the sound, Gruv1 doesn’t just play music—he curates an experience.
