Accession - The act of attaining or gaining access to a position. 

The first hour of my set from this past weekend (2/1/25) opening for Max Styler. Kept the focus on more of the "melodic" techno and tech house sounds to get things warmed up.

Progressive Dance 05 - Accession (Joshua Stephen @ Java for Max Styler)

Bringing house and techno to the Midwest through multiple avenues, but most importantly, through music. My passion lies with the melodic and progressive styles of both genres, but have a general love for all things 4/4. 

I picked up DJing in February of 2024 and have been rolling since. In that time I have opened for KREAM, landed opening slots for other regional acts (including Max Styler and John Summit), and launched a radio show. Some of the collectives I have worked with in St. Louis are Umbrella Underground, Nightchaser, and B&W Productions. 

This journey has been nothing but amazing so far. Stoked to see where the road ahead takes us next. 

For Fans Of - Nora En Pure, Eric Prydz, Miss Monique, and all things progressive and melodic house.
