String Theory

Ryan began exploring music early in life, drawn to anything he could make loud noises with, but once he picked up the trumpet at age 12 the seed of funk was firmly planted. It took a few more years, but he eventually found himself in front of two turntables and no microphone, because he can’t sing worth a damn. By 2001, he was playing parties all over Vancouver from hole-in-the-wall restaurants with crazy greek owners, laser tag arenas filled with mayhem, halls you'd never want to get married in, and onto stadiums and event centers playing alongside some of the most inspiring djs and producers in the game. All the while he was discovering and honing his passion for bass music with soul.

Enter present day, and DJ Ryan Ross has returned with buckets of delicious sounds to be poured into your ears and rubbed all over yourself. His style incorporates a broad mix of glitch, bass, funk, and dub containing just the right amount of filth, and adding a smattering of turntablism and the occasional live trumpet jam throughout. Rest assured he will find your inner smiling, snarling, hip wagging boogie monster and show that gorgeous beast right to the middle of the dance floor.
