BASS INSTINCT - continuum set @ mono by phono - aug 3 2024

DJ K'chn has been in love with music since he was young. He loves the way music is composed of so many different layers and how DJs can interweave those layers together to create something truly magical. When he's performing for live audiences, he loves the rush of energy that comes from lifting up the crowd and feeling their energy in return. It's a symbiotic relationship that keeps him going night after night.

His favorite genre of music is funky house, but he also loves classic songs reworked in a modern style. And when it comes to playing music, he's not afraid to get loose with the guidelines. He'll play everything from classical to grunge to rock to Brit pop, and he's always looking for new and exciting ways to keep the crowd moving.

When it comes to creating a setlist, DJ K'chn takes a more laissez-faire approach. He'll start with a crawl through whatever he's been into in the past few days, maybe throw in some older tunes, and then select 10-16 tracks to play. From there, he lets the music take him where it will, always listening to himself and feeling out the crowd to see what's working and what's not.

But for DJ K'chn, music isn't just about performing on stage. He believes that live music is an essential part of any community, and he wants to see every local venue that can host live music packed from Thursday to Sunday. These are the places where people can come together, share their love of music, and grow as a community. It's all about getting to know your neighbors and friends while having a great time and enjoying some amazing tunes.

So if you're looking for a DJ who's not afraid to break the rules and get the party started, look no further than DJ K'chn. With his infectious energy and love of music, he's sure to keep you moving all night long.

*Reposted mixes are mine, from my other pages* 

- Resident DJ for MEDUSA (Manila, Philippines)
- Co-founder & DJ at OPODISCO (Manila, Philippines, w/ @plotubeats)
- Founder & DJ at MABU-PSY (Manila, Philippines)
- Psytrance & breaks alias: 'Jarret The Slap God' 
- Tech-house alias: 'Papasan'
- 1/2 of tech-house / psytrance / hard-groove production duo '8ERNIESANCHEZ' (along with Steve S., aka 'bbsteve')

I specialize primarily in psytrance, and additionally in breakbeat and tech-house / deep-tech... yet I also drop sets of drum'n'bass, techno, and various styles of house music.

Psytrance is my true love.
However, tech-house is a very close second, which I *sometimes* perform under the ‘Papasan’ alias.

A disc jockey for the past 23 years, I have a wide ranging background... from Bay Area mack rap and G-funk, to progressive and nuskool breakbeat, to techstep, jump-up, and neurofunk styles of drum'n'bass.
My roots are spinning vinyl records of nuskool breaks and drum'n'bass, yet for the past 16 years, I've stayed firmly planted in psychedelic trance music.

I've had the honor of dropping slaps for some of the USA's most renowned psytrance crews, namely Pulsar LA, PsyTribe USA, and Greensector, as well as dropping breakbeat and D&B for various rave crews in Los Angeles, and in addition, ardently pushing psytrance in the Philippines wherever and whenever I can, from MEDUSA (Makati) events, my own OPODISCO parties, Vulan Tribe's outdoor festivals, and arguably the most fun: private in-house (IH) ragers.

Expect to hear a wide range of trance... ranging from higher BPM, heavy, funky twilight blasters, to deep and rolling full-on, to earthy and chunky Japanese mid-groove, to driving, atmospheric prog-psy.

Past aliases include: Psykotik, Bling Theory, and Sardonyx (w/ DJ Symbiot... RIP Jason!)
