Episode 162 - Dads and Bass w DJ Elemence + SkullDuck
Aired June 16, 2024

For Father's Day I had a couple dads who DJ DnB come down to the studio for the stream. I opened the night with some 160 and jungle I was testing out before a gig in Connecticut, and DJ Elemence continued the vibe with his hour of footwork, juke, jungle, and liquid. SkullDuck kicked things up a few notches with a heavy set planted firmly in the 170s. He and I closed out the show with a tag that just kept escalating through the close of the show.

Recorded live at Ascension - Take a Journey through Trance with us
Central Connecticut - March 14, 2025

Team Avian's trance party Ascension was a delight to attend, with a late 90s/early 00s throwback vibe that made for a sublime experience. I got to delve into my UK Hard House/Trance roots to dig for tracks I had back in the day on wax and some newer flavors to round out my USB. Kohaku's melodic set before mine set the bar high and I pulled the tempo up higher, cruising at 147bpm after an Energy 52 medley to blend out of her. Many thanks to Di for letting me indulge my roots and playing what was honestly a better set than any of those ones back on wax.

Whether 160, jungle, liquid, or rollers, he always has a heavy focus on basslines that move the crowd, wasting little energy as he blends tracks and themes and keeps the dancefloor wanting more

Highlights include Tropical Dreams in Sturbridge, MA, Tight Crew raves in Providence, RI and Boston, MA, and opening support for acts such as BCee, Degs, and Paul T & Edward Oberon. 

In addition to live shows, Mr. EyesLee also runs the Playground, “Your Sunday destination for dnb, jungle, and other high tempo tunes”, streaming Sundays 8-11PM EDT, on Twitch.tv/MrEyesLee, and first Sunday live Field Trips at Zuzu in Cambridge, MA, with guests having come from around New England and beyond in 200+ shows and counting.
