[Snobcast 29: Tavoo]

Disciple of the darker electronic textures; devoted to the mastery of technology, science & sound in the studio and beyond. 

A child of the '90s, Tavoo's sonic influences coalesce the visceral aggression of nu-metal and gritty confidence of early 2000s hip-hop with the sleek, futuristic energy of early drum and bass—all refracted through the lens of contemporary electronic music. The result is a partially tense, partially seductive, always uncompromising exploration of hypnotic, foreboding, and shadowy allure. 

Genres are viewed as limitations, while his passion for subwoofer technology, combined with over a decade of experience in live audio engineering, has led him to develop a uniquely analytical and scientific approach to music. He views music and sound as tools best used to articulate shades of emotion, and his work reflects a deep fluency in the language of low frequencies.

This direct support set from the Swell x Techno Snobs collab with Surgeon was recorded live at Walter Studios in Phoenix, AZ on May 30th 2025.

[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.
