Part 2 with Sharlese from TUF Seattle is finally here! She joins us in the second hour for an awesome conversation about the PacNW scene, Detroit Movement Weekend 2019, her past, her present, and her future. You're with Father of Two for the first hour as he fires up good old VDJ to showcase some chunky new tunes from the likes of Otik, BFTT, NKC, K-Lone and more, alongside some dubplates from homies like DZ from Tram Planet and MarceauxMarceaux.

Thanks for locking in! See you next month.

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.
