Creating dreamy sonic voyages to take you away.

Christine Michelle, a Seattle based DJ and producer,  was born in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood and raised surrounded by music which developed a deep love for piano, brass, and strings with classical and jazz influences.

She first discovered Seattle's underground dance music scene in the 1990's. Her love of music and dancing grew at parties like Freak Night, Nocturnal Wonderland, and at venues like Vinylized, NFT, DV8, Noc Noc, and the Fenix Underground, to name a few. This background led her to DJing in the summer of 2022.

Since then she has shared her craft at many of Seattle's top night clubs such as Monkey Loft, Cherry, Supernova, headlining at The Mercury and festivals such as Ignition NW and local PNW crews and supporting headliners such as VNSSA, Fred Everything, Marbs, Lucati, Rimarkable, Ian Pooley, Dosem, and Anyasa. Christine is known for weaving magnetic sounds through a multiverse of genres moving dance floors.

Inspired to bring the dance music together to connect and share, Christine founded Elevated Frequencies events in March of 2023. As of October 2023, she brings her creativity to the studio where she works to produce bass-heavy and etherial sounds focused to raise vibrations and transcend dance floors.

A California native raised in Seattle from the age of 13, Julie Herrera considers the NorthWest home and Seattle takes pride in claiming her as their own. Music has always been a source of inspiration for Julie. Her older sibling’s collection of 70’s and 80’s soul, disco and R&B records, coupled with her own tastes for new wave and dance artists of the 80’s, set the foundation for her future in music.

In the early 90’s Julie was instinctively drawn to Seattle’s underground dance music culture. With her passion for the art of DJing, a ferocious appetite for varied styles of music and unbridled soulful style, once Julie took to the decks in 1996 she quickly made waves. Her residencies with the Hitgirl Collective and HotBox shows had an important and long-lasting impact for her as an artist and the Seattle nightlife community, elevating herself and a host of other emerging female talent at the time.

With a career now past the 28 year mark, Julie is active as ever, holding down residencies with revered and respected crews such as Flammable, Noise Complaint, one half of the beloved WonderTwinz and her Burning Man camp, The Dusty Booty Ranch. 

Julie’s ability to take you on a journey from classic to modern house and techno stylings, tech-house, disco, Latin  and afrobeat is unmatched! A true artist with a captivating presence both as a DJ and performer, she is as much fun to hear as she is to watch. Beat by beat, Julie will leave you with an electrifying, soulful and uplifting dancefloor experience.

Music is an extension of the soul. 

Indie Rock 'n' Roll with 90’s vibes and lover of all types of music. I'm proud to carry on my family's musical legacy with my brother Jamie on drums. 

My name is Nick Swettenham and I’ve been a musician all my life. Our late father Geoff and uncle Peter were part of the late 60s Rock ‘n’ Roll movement. Signed by The Beatles back in 1968 with their psychedelic band 'Grapefruit' (named by John Lennon) they’ve inspired me to get my music out to the world. 

Growing up as a teenager in the 90’s I was a huge fan of the Britpop era, as well as other great bands and artists 
 from around the world. Radiohead, Oasis, The Stereophonics, The Verve, Blur, REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Smiths, The Cure, The Stone Roses, Smashing Pumpkins, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Travis, Coldplay, Counting Crows and so many more artists have been a huge influence in my sound.

I like most music genres and have a strong preference for most electronic music.  I love progressive house, techno, house, disco house, breaks and more.  It was in San Francisco that I attended 100s of events at clubs, undergrounds and festivals.  Some highlights include Sasha & Digweed at the Gift Center, Underworld at Coachella, Opel Productions Halloween parties at the Gingerbread House, Brass Tax Halloween Renegades, the Watermelon boat parties with the likes of Darren Emerson and of course Burning Man.

I'm back in Seattle now and while I don't get to as many shows as I used to,  I like that Sound Cloud allows me to stay connected to the music I like and explore new sounds.

(2022) And whadda ya know, I now have decks of my own and have been enjoying the learning progression of DJ'g and play the occasional house party. Lots and lots to learn but never too late:) 

(2023) Enjoying DJ'g. Gravitating mostly to disco house in my sets with splashes of house and tech house.

Chemical Bros, Groove Armada, Orbital, Underworld, Nick Warren, Sasha, Krafty Kuts, Jody Wisternoff, Etienne de Crecy (Super Discount) are my all time favorite producers/DJs.  Some friends I also enjoy listening to include Luxxury, Jonboy, Sam Haas, DJ Loryn and Erik Rumors.  You should check them out on Sound Cloud as well.

Kobalt Severa has been bringing his unique style of Lush, Organic, Underground, Tech, Deep and Bass House, along with Electro Beats, Lounge and Jazz Noir to Seattle, since 2011. Now a current resident, for the Reflect crew collective.

The path less traveled, the alternate road, the unknown trail, the sideway.
