Mark Lacas (LMG - Lick My Grooves - SEA) Mark is a veteran electronic music composer, producer, musician, and technologist. Mark (AKA DjML) is also known for spinning vinyl in headliner slots in the Seattle underground dance scene, as well as producing highly regarded DJ mixes.

DjML has been a Seattle staple in the Burning Man arena, as well as warehouse parties, and local clubs such as Marcus', where he held residency for 2 years. Other residencies include: Sea Sound Lounge, ToST, Premier and Club 722.

Mark's original music spans many genres but generally in the fusion of electronic and rock. 

As DjML he has crafted an eclectic and progressive European sound with a mix of House, Techno, Trance and Break Beats. His mixes have an epic quality that excite and inspire. DjML has played the West Coast from Vancouver to California and Hawaii.

For a veteran chillout producer to successfully navigate the transition to sought-after producer / remixer and DJ within the Progressive House scene, is not an easy ask. But Nick Brennan a.k.a. Tripswitch has done just that – and with distinction. It was his Tripswitch ‘Vagabond’ album (Iboga Records, 2016) that cemented his highly rated status as a key dance producer beyond doubt. The album rose to the top of the Beatport charts, hitting #1 in Electronica and holding at #2 in Progressive House for 3 months.

Since then, a flawless resumé of releases on Bedrock, Sudbeat, The Soundgarden, Movement, Balkan Connection, Flow Vinyl, Pure Progressive and many more creatively exciting labels, has seen Tripswitch’s progressive stock grow exponentially. Chart-topping collaborative studio projects with Nick Warren and Hernán Cattaneo, along with a huge bootleg remix of London Grammar’s ‘Rooting For You’, helped to propel him to the upper reaches of the production cosmos.

Tripswitch’s melodic, emotionally charged, proper progressive DJ sets at amazing events around the world have resulted him gaining a loyal and ever-growing global audience. In 2017 Nick launched his onedotsixtwo label, with its distinct forward-thinking proper progressive ethos. Impeccable curation and the remarkable smash single ‘Voight Kampff’ (courtesy of Tripswitch & Nick Warren) have already seen onedotsixtwo recognised as a ‘Vital Label’ by DJ Mag USA in 2019.

Never one to limit himself creatively, early 2020 saw Tripswitch release ‘Memento Mori’, his hugely anticipated first chillout album in 10 years.
