[Snobcast 30: JO-FX]

Born and raised in the vibrant heart of the Washington, DC metro area, JO-FX’s connection to music began early. By age seven, he was already digging—obsessively exploring obscure records, online archives, and local shops in search of sounds that defied convention. This deep dive into the fringes of electronic music laid the foundation for a lifelong commitment to experimentation and discovery.

Now based in Phoenix, Arizona, JO-FX has become a key figure in the local underground scene, bringing his distinct perspective as a resident DJ for Techno Snobs. Influenced by boundary-pushing icons like Aphex Twin and Autechre, his sets are built on a mission: to take the weird, abstract, and often misunderstood corners of electronic music and transform them into something listeners can dance to, connect with, and learn from.

But the JO-FX project is more than just a sound—it’s an ethos. It’s about self-expression without apology. About creating space for the kind of music people love in private but hesitate to share. His sets are a celebration of the strange, the ethereal, the heavy, and the haunting—stitched together with technical precision and a relentless drive to challenge the norm.

Every performance is designed to pull audiences into new territory, making experimental sounds feel accessible without watering them down. It’s a journey through futuristic textures and raw emotion—crafted for people who crave something deeper than just a beat.

For JO-FX, the goal isn’t just to play music—it’s to build a community around it. One where weirdness is welcomed, curiosity is rewarded, and self-expression takes center stage on the dancefloor.

This recording was JO-FX's first opening set for Techno Snobs captured live at a warehouse location in Phoenix, AZ on 12/27/24.

Our September 2025 ‘Monthly Techno Mixshow’ features an hour-long mix from our co-founder, DBOT.

DBOT is a Phoenix-based techno artist with deep roots in the Chicago nightclub scene.  Starting his music career in 2008, DBOT began his journey playing house music at some of the most-respected venues in Downtown Chicago.  After almost a decade of holding down residencies throughout the city, he developed an affinity for techno and the grittier, stripped-down productions that catered more to the underground.  As his sound evolved, he co-founded Nine Lives in 2017 as a means to book talent aligned with his newfound aspirations as an artist.  After relocating to Phoenix in 2020, DBOT established himself as a key figure on the Techno Snobs DJ roster, playing dozens of high-profile shows since his arrival to The Valley.  Invigorated by this latest chapter of his career, DBOT is currently focused on making new music and expanding the Nine Lives and Techno Snobs brands.

Our October 2025 ‘Monthly Techno Mixshow’ features an ninety-minute mix from Annie Hill.

Annie Hill is a Finnish techno DJ and producer from Vaasa with a deep-rooted passion for sound, rhythm, and the energy of club culture. Growing up in a creative household surrounded by music and art, she developed a sharp ear early on — one that now defines her bold approach behind the decks and in the studio.

Her DJ sets are fast-paced, stripped, and precise — blending heavy low-end pressure with hypnotic, looping grooves that lock in and drive forward. Annie creates tightly built journeys that speak to both underground heads and open-minded dancefloors. Guided by intuition and a curiosity for the unseen, Annie explores the intersections of rhythm, energy, and consciousness — using music to connect, heal, and spark transformation, both for herself and for those on the dancefloor.

As a producer, her tracks channel the same energy: direct techno released on labels like Nervous Records, Codex, IAMT, Mal-Function, and her own imprint We Are Existence.
Annie is the co-founder of WAE Music Group, a platform for forward-thinking artists and labels — and the mind behind EXISTENCE, her event brand built around engaging club experiences.
A graduate of the Pete Tong DJ Academy, she was chosen as a Top 10 Winner of the 2024 Future Talent Awards, handpicked by Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, Nicole Moudaber, and TSHA.

Grounded in her roots with a quiet determination driven by her love for the dancefloor and sound, Annie Hill keeps embracing new challenges and evolution.
