@spendthenightpdx residents @bentactic and @nathandetroit have brought their DJ presence as a creative force that keeps the room moving whenever they hit the decks. That was certainly the case when they laid down a warm up set for Avalon Emerson at Canyon Vibration.

The man. The meme. The legend. Evan Geltosky (@eg562 aka Sunrise Energy Club) has been using his tremendous design talents to elevate PDX rave-life, both as resident designer @spendthenightpdx and as designer of the Canyon Vibration logo and officially sanctioned meme content. 

As his designs would suggest, he’s got deep crates of psychedelic records. The more ambient of those were used to great effect in his opening set for canyon vibration. Not to worry if you missed it while setting up your tent. Here's the recording

s O F T P E A K s (@softpeaksound) dove ears first into the rave scene in 2013 - first and foremost as a dancer known for wild outfits and owning the dance floor. More recently, she has evolved into a gifted DJ with diverse music taste and intuitive mixing skills. Landing in the Pacific Northwest in 2016, she danced her way into the hearts of Portland’s top party crews. Noting the city as being one of the “best incubators ever,” the region is full of talent that has nourished her ears and in turn, given her space to develop her own artistic abilities. During her time here, she worked hard to set down roots with dark, sexy beats that thump until the morning light sparkles and blossoms into soft ambient sounds with moody techno undertones. Her eclectic taste and sense of style derive from following the music that has changed her life.  By trusting her instincts and inner ear, she has had the privilege to meet many magical people and cultivate meaningful experiences while on her quest for the best sounds, dance floors and parties.  Her sound spans many genres including lush, seductive techno, cosmic disco, jump-up house, and minimal tribal beats that just make you want to dance.

As curators and resident DJs for Believe You Me and Your Sunday Best, and consummate collaborators with nearly every other promoter in town, @andydwarren and @ginkgo have played an instrumental role in shaping Portland’s house & techno community over the last 7 years. They have showcased dozens of artists in the Rose City, including Axel Boman, Animal Collective, Roman Flugel, Dorisburg, Octo Octa, Eris Drew, Gonno, & Eddie C. While both talented selectors on their own, there’s a certain magical chemistry that emerges each time these two play together. We're honored to call them close friends and collaborators and loved their set at Canyon Vibration!

@leeonn_bailey is a Portland-based queer DJ, mentor and record collector, originally rooted in Chicago. They have used the last decade of their djing as an exploratory practice in connecting the physical and spiritual through their craft. In their techno-leaning dj sets, emotion and intellect weave through genres intersecting at the core of why we’re here - the feeling of house.

January 2018 Mix - Spencer Miles & Peter Marks b2b on NYE

Dark Entries label boss Josh Cheon joins us from San Francisco for some nautical nonsense to commend the closing of our wintergarden tent:  April 20-21, 2018.

With his label, Cheon has rereleased and remastered some of the best underground italo, electro and new wave tracks of the 80s, and helped resuscitate forgotten treasures like Patrick Cowley's gay porn soundtracks.  @darkentriesrecords also champions contemporary like-minded material from exciting artists such as Bézier, Red Axes, Helena Hauff, Bill Converse, The Hacker, and Looky Looky.

Special thanks to Occasion Vibration (Portland)for this live recording from April 7, 2018.

May 2019 Mix - Sappho b2b Peter Marks

This mix was recorded just before Rona hit us. I met the promoter, Spencer Miles in Berlin while playing maybe one of the best sets of my life with David Muallem at Panorama Bar. Spencer played before us and stayed almost the entire 16 hours of our set. He told me about this little party he threw in Portland for 200 people and asked me to come so I did a few months later. The party was wild. Real. American. Leftists. Intellectual outsider shit and one of the best parties I’ve ever played in America. There was a giant Ouija board on the wall. It was a true freak out. This is part 1 & there's also apart 2 to this mix. All vinyl and me playing some really freaky stuff... A-Z, here to there and a good portrayal of where I was musically before the world changed.
