From vinyl to CDJs and electro rock to slo mo, I've had the pleasure of sharing music across the greater NW for over two decades now. My tastes and interests have changed and as a result I've left a trail of various mixtapes along the way. Finally got a much of them loaded up into one playlist. Feel free to DL and share!  Thanks for listening! <3

Recess - Closing Set - Recorded Live @ Shameless 15 Year Anniversary Party Feb 2018

Recess is a long time advocate for Underground Dance Music and community building in the Northwest.  As a dj, Recess always brings a fresh perspective to the decks with an array of sounds and textures that ranges from techno to house, tribal, electro, disco, and more.  He melds underground classics with hard to find electronic gems keeping each set unique and one of a kind. 
His renowned efforts with Shameless Productions have pushed the envelope over the years in the PNW, introducing our community to fresh new talent while maintaining diverse line ups, safe environments, and everything else to help keep our underground  lovely & weird <3 . Seattle doesn’t have it’s edge without the efforts of Recess and the Shameless family.  
We were fortunate to have him make a special (and rare January ) appearance for the first Flammable of 2019 and drop a beautiful set that would be described as a heartfelt love note to Flammable Sundays.  Thank you Dan!

"NEW MIX CDS ALERT DJ Fucking in the Streets and DJ Recess recently handed me their new mix discs. They make a cute couple—the discs, not the DJs, though in a certain light perhaps... But seriously, both efforts draw upon underground culture's recent infatuation with rock-friendly dance productions and dance-friendly rock productions. Recess's Galaxy Rock for Disconauts is an aptly titled rip through booger-sugared-up, cowbell-happy rockno (rock + techno). It'll cheer you right up (extra credit for including Diplo's remix of Spank Rock's "Put That Pussy on Me")."

Recess has been in a long term love affair with Seattle’s underground music scene for the past couple of decades. In the late 80′s he found his second home at the long defunct Club Underground in Seattle’s University District (along with DJ Dominator aka Donald Glaude, DJ Dan and many others). During the 90s he bounced between raves, rock shows and jazz clubs appreciating the passion and community behind the scenes. Using these early experiences as a platform, he started collecting records and honing his skills at various clubs around the Northwest; quickly establishing himself as a formidable performer. 

In 2003 he founded Shameless Productions (responsible for numerous legendary underground club nights, parties and shenanigans). Along with a changing cast of players, over the years, Shameless established itself as a trust worthy brand by throwing some of the most memorable events the Seattle's undergound dance music community. From day one, each Shameless party was a special one regardless of the wide ranges of genres and bookings represented. With an eye towards the cutting edge, but deep respect for electronic music's rich history, Shameless has kept it's finger on the pulse of Seattle's underground for close to 20 years. 

In 2006 Recess was nominated as one of Seattle Weekly's best local DJs. His DJ sets often reflect Shameless' aesthetic by focusing on forward thinking music while cherishing the gems of the past. He'll span the various sub genres of house/disco music, and also weave through techno, electro, breaks depending upon the party. His range, passion and deep understanding of the dancefloor has made him a longtime favorite underground club DJ in Seattle and the greater Northwest. Whether it’s an afterhours loft space, major club, mountaintop, or random BASSment; Recess has consistently brought the sounds and energy to fit any dance party.
