NI67 | JS Alvarez

I'm originally from Chicago but reside in Indianapolis. Been going to parties since '98. I've been spinning and collecting vinyl as a hobby since 1999. I learned to beat match on a pair of good old Gemini belt drive tables and the rest is raver history. I only spin vinyl, digital just not my thing. I have terrible stage fright anxiety, so over the years, I've only played at a few parties since 2001.
My black crack collection mostly consists of old skool Breaks (vocal/progressive/Miami), Electro, Liquid DnB, House, (old skool) Hard German Trance and "classic" trance, cause in "raver" years, I'm old...... Haha.

Peace, Love, Unity, Respect!

Is it reality or is it an illusion? With Neptune, it is hard to tell. Neptune's influence reaches further than the ordinary senses, so there may be aspects of extrasensory perception at work. Illusion, fantasy and dreams are the playing field here, and the spirit is the primary force. Leading to all things mysterious, Neptune's watery depths are associated with dreams, visions, and the imagination.

Nick Burgess is a student of Detroit, prioritizing the groove while seamlessly weaving between deep acidic Techno hypnosis and punishing Industrial sonics. In the short time since making his debut, Nick has played every hour of the night across notable Detroit venues such as Leland City Club, Marble Bar and Tangent Gallery as well as making appearances at the Tec-Troit Electronic Music Festival and the Lollapalooza after party circuit in Chicago. He has shared the bill with the likes of Skee Mask, Headless Horseman, Black Asteroid, BMG, Terrence Dixon, The Brvtalist, and Underground Resistance artists like Mark Flash and Esteban Adame. As a producer, his hypnotic and abrasive productions have been released through labels PITS, Junted, Detroit Underground, Ominous Earth, Collapsed Structures and his co-owned label, Apocalypse Rave Culture.
