Future Forest 2023 Demo

Thank you for listening, I appreciate you immensely <3
I had no idea what I was going to play for Future Forest 2023. Id gotten my application in 5 minutes before the deadline with no real idea of what I was actually going to play. Then one day I heard the Tinlicker remix of Hero Baldwin's Rebirth, and my whole body tingled with truth bumps and I legit cried. I still cry when I hear that song. In an instant I knew that was my opening track. After that everything flowed, I knew the vibe I was going for and how I wanted to feel when playing and listening it. It was so special, having my love up there on stage with me and my friends and little bro Mike in the crowd dancing. This is my last set I will be uploading as Aural Stiorra, as she has been laid to rest (R.I.B Rest in Beats) I play now with my love as THE DOPENESS.
Thank you for being here with me on this journey. Every day in every way I love U.

FUTURE FOREST 2023 NEST STAGE SET

✨THE DOPENESS DNB are a DJ/Producer duo based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia and is comprised of Matt and Laura, the DJ’s formerly known as Bombski, and Aural Stiorra. They’re ambassadors of love, music, and sound and they’re known for bringing the dopest vibes wherever they go. In life and love and everything in between they are partners, and they have been DJing together since Laura started mixing music in August 2022. A couple weeks after this  at Electric Pines Music Festival, they were walking to the car, and Matt said something cool. Laura was like yo that’s dope. Then Matt said no it’s the dopest! Laura said no wait it’s the dopeness. Matt then said “that’s it that’s our DJ Duo name.”One of their wildest experiences thus far was being at Electric Pines 2023 and having the realization that they were playing together as THE DOPENESS for the first time at a  festie like that, on their freaking Dj Duo-versary. 

✨Laura has been vibin to the rhythm from day one. While some babies are in the womb kicking, she was in there dancing, and basically she never stopped. Whether it was on the hood of the car as a small child (not just the family car, but the neighbours car too 😅), to having her whole world turned upside down and inside out at 16 at her first underground rave in Halifax, music has been a lifelong friend. Her roots are grounded in her love of singing and songwriting, and playing various instruments her whole life, and she curated a playlist for almost every class she guided during her years as a yoga teacher. But what she vibes to the most is a deep and sassy booty shakin bass line. 2023 festie season found her on the Nest Stage at Future Forest as Aural Stiorra, and at Raven City, Riverfront Rhythms, and Electric Pines together with Matt as THE DOPENESS. In late 2022 they founded their music portal VELVET STUDIOS, and they now host a weekly stream on their twitch channel called Wildcard Wednesdays, where they have guest DJs and producers come over for a jam sesh.

✨The other half of THE DOPENESS, Matt has been in the local music scene for over a decade now. He started out spinning at Halifax's Bassline and hosted a monthly residency with Trebleshoot at Reflections Cabaret. A lifelong music lover, he was a photographer taking photos at local overnight shows before he took his first step behind the decks in 2012. He deep dove into the world of music and studied audio engineering shortly after. He is a jack of all trades and if you ask Laura she will honestly tell you that there is nothing he can’t play as he has a natural flow with rhythm and melody. Her and Matt are forever inspired by all music, but specifically drum and bass and all the unique elements you’ll find in the different styles and sub genres . As THE DOPENESS they are an entire vibe, crafting a hypnotic flow that you can’t help but shake your tail feathers to, and when they aren’t on the decks themselves you will find them front and centre on the dance floor wearing their matching fits. 

They also recently launched their ear plug jewelry line BASS BUSTERZ. They make handmade with love awesome high fidelity ear plug earrings and clip on ear plugs that attach to anything; rave braids; glassels (glasses tassels so you don’t lose your glasses) and more. It’s your one stop rave shop and they love vibin with the fam so if you see them set up at a show near you come say hi

✨every day in every way✨
