Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside?

Name’s Ian, grew up mostly in Boston and living in Ridgewood now. 

Describe the vibe of your ideal party? Space? Smell? Drinks? Anything you can think of ;)

On a spaceship looking back at the desiccated husk of earth through the rear view...last party in the galaxy...gin drinks... 

Dream b2b? 
Moksha is my #1 inspiration, sadly RIP.  Always chasing the feeling of first hearing their music - goosebumps - by looking for more like it.


Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation and you give me a track 

*** Just won the lottery but also received a death sentence

Classic closing track. The winnings can be divvied amongst my friends and family.

*** Soundtrack for a journey to the bottom of the ocean
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKq7aMgW79E
They were probably going for journey in space but the ocean is the real final frontier.

*** First track to your first born child 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd9I1n1YJ_Q
No kids planned...here’s a cute one though...so balearic.

*** 1st track to open a set at boomer convention that meets everyone’s taste in the middle

Are you ready for some chaos? A rhetorical question we should all consider.

Any ritual performed before djing? 

Charging my juul and picking out a t shirt of a metal band to wear.

Describe the weirdest club moment you have experienced?

Thailand for a month in ‘09. The height of fidget, dubstep etc.  Weird parties in scenic locations, the worst Europeans...big fidget revival coming in 2020...

Which current friends in your life inspire you on a day to day basis?

Constantly inspired by friends’ many creative endeavors. Really too many to mention.  In this context, want to shout out my friend Oscar Huang for teaching me cdjs and kindly mastering this mix. 

Advice to beginning djs?

Something of a beginner myself...but aren’t we all in the game of life...make sure you take your time to find music that feels “you” so that you can show people the real you by forcing them to listen to it at high volume.

Secret weapon track? (youtube link)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u4FgbR9X-s

Simple yet subtle...well-produced...cheeky...mix into anything...could highly recommend the rest of the cd as well.

Describe the best dj/live set you have seen in recent memory? 

Beta Librae debuting her live set last fall.  So intricate and left-field.

Most underrated artist at the moment?

Still catching up on late 90s/early 00s tech-trance, goa, psy, progressive & breaks.  Get back to you in a couple decades!

Favorite DJ trick?

Setting cue points...playing 2 tracks at the same time ;)

Describe the first moment where you had an epiphany about your love for music?

Getting my first boombox in 4th grade and putting in long hours listening to the radio waiting to hit record on the tape deck the moment a song I liked started.

Hobbies outside of music?

Love consuming media of all types...love to travel and try new kinds of food.

DJ dream of yours?

Play the perfect tune at the right moment and bring down the house.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More dancing, more bathrooms in clubs.

UV Imp - 66˚

s O F T P E A K s 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 crew’s. 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 there, 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. She has built connections with west coast party legends who have nurtured and supported her journey to the decks and for them, she has the utmost gratitude and respect. 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. 

Although still a newcomer to party curation and creation,                        
s O F T P E A K s approaches mixing with an innate vocabulary of skill and style. Her sound spans many genres including lush, seductive techno, percussive electro, mystic DnB, and minimal tribal beats that just make you want to dance.
