Untz 11: Playful Possibilities (July 8, 2023)

I made this mix for the Discovery Project: EDC Las Vegas 2024 DJ/producer competition (https://www.insomniac.com/music/discovery-project/competitions/edc-las-vegas-2024-dj-producer/).

It clocks in right under 35 minutes, and includes 6 original tracks by yours truly (including an unreleased one!). I also selected a handful of other progressive house and trance artists whose styles have inspired and complemented mine.

The tempo doesn't deviate from 124-128 BPM, so it's suitable for a dance party or just groovin' in the background while you work on your award-winning magnum opus. 🌠

Untz 12: Potent Potential (April 27, 2024)

I played this DJ set on the first night of Lunar New Year 2025 (year of the Snake), at Eris Open Decks in Brooklyn, NYC. The hour-long musical journey fully consists of original JC++ productions that I've made over the last few years. It starts out more slowly (in fact the first track title means "without hurry, without pause") and builds up energy (and vocals/lyrics) as the set progresses. Seeing my #1 fan smiling in the crowd and getting people dancing was the perfect way to kick off the year! 🌚

Track list:

1. JC++ - Sin Prisa Sin Pausa
2. JC++ - Anything Bagel
3. JC++ - I Can See Through Time
4. JC++ - Everything In Its Own Space

Open Decks @ Eris (January 29, 2025)

pushing buttons 🔘 and twisting knobs 🎛️

JC++, a producer and DJ with Midwestern roots, was classically trained on piano, clarinet, and bass guitar. Now living in NYC and armed with a laptop and headphones, he plays with electronic music as a universal language that anyone can connect with.

His progressive house tracks create a fun mood in a range of spaces, from casual apartment hangs to dance floor parties. Layered vocals and intricate soundscapes turn his music into vibrant journeys, keeping the energy going with a whimsical touch.

What is JC++ in a nutshell? The aural rendition of an emoji. d(@_@)b
