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

GREILARK (grey-lark) has been pushing boundaries in the music industry since 2001,
crafting innovative, high-energy sounds that immerse listeners in an experience beyond the
dancefloor. His music is driven by a deep belief that there are no rules defining who we are, and
through sound, we can unlock self-worth and unity. Each track reflects his commitment to
individuality and collective connection, inviting listeners to explore their journey of self-discovery.

As part of the collective EvoWerx in the Pacific Northwest, he continues to innovate, whether
streaming live on Twitch or producing in the studio, transcending traditional boundaries.

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.
