During Kremwerk's 8th Anniversary Celebration we had Rachel come play after hearing a set by her that really fit our Back of the House aesthetic. She didn't disappoint and gave us a pitch perfect performance solidifying her as one of Seattle's natural selectors. We are privileged to be one of her earliest live performances!!

Rachel Vick: Live at Back of the House - Feb 17th 2022

Dance Culture Advocate.
Perpetually searching for that silk groove flava.

Born and raised in the Seattle area and always surrounded by different types of music. My personal musical journey took me from 80s synth-pop, to early rap & hip-hop, metal, grunge, punk, and then industrial music, before finding house, techno, and the underground Seattle rave scene in the early 90s. After going to my first rave in 1993, I was absolutely hooked, started collecting vinyl, and bought my first set of Technics SL1200MK2 turntables and DJ mixer in 1995. 

Collecting vinyl and DJing led me to Platinum Records Seattle, an underground vinyl store,  where I worked from 2000 to late 2003, during a massive resurgence of rave culture in Seattle. During that time, I played multiple raves at old venues like NAF, Studio B, Club Insight, Club FX, and clubs/after-hours like Aero Space, Noc Noc, Liquid Lounge, Club Contour, etc. 

At the end of 2003 I starting working for Rane Corporation WA, a pro-audio/ DJ mixer company that was based in Mukilteo area from 1981 until the closing of the factory in 2016. While at Rane from 2003-2016, I worked as a Product Specialist, Technical Support, Product Clinician, Social Media Manager, Artist Relations, Beta Tester, Project Manager, and Product Design, and the designer of the infamous Rane MP2015 and Rane MP2014 rotary DJ mixers. 

Fast forward to today, I am still DJing, still raving, and now throwing underground parties in the Seattle area (ifykyk 😘). I'm a resident DJ for the Diffusion crew, Brit Jean Presents, and Blue Moon. I've been producing music under the name "Double Helix," a musical duo with my good friend Rob Ali, with two releases out (so far) on Deep Contour Music, and Seattle's own Uniting Souls Music!

Bringing beats to you from a multitude of producers, collectives and independent artists all around the world. 

Track selections lean heavily toward electronic sounds with a focus on Ethnofusion, Glitch, Dub, House, West Coast Bass, as well as some really chilled, mellow music which some could describe as Ambient.

Born in Cleveland, OH, Rachel Vick grew up within sounds of classic, folk, and alternative rock. She developed a strong sense of songwriting and melody from her time spent in piano lessons and choir rehearsals throughout her school years. She would go on to write songs on the acoustic guitar and gig in pubs, which sparked a soul mission to share the music within. The stars aligned when she later became engrossed in the indie electronic genre, leading her to the bliss and freedom of house music. 

Now thriving in Seattle, Rachel takes the stage with intention and passion, whether to sing along to her own music, or to set the tempo for the party as a DJ. Her productions combine bright and playful melodies with driving house percussion, fusing songwriting skill and passion for house and indie dance music. She has releases on Popgang Records, Late Night Munchies, Uniting Souls, Tilted, and Feral One Recordings, and has provided support for artists including Soichi Terada, Black Loops, Chez Damier, Jaques Greene, Ardalan, and Kettama.

We are a small Seattle based House and Techno label focused on curating a varied and unique blend of releases with the feel and sounds we love from dance music.

MattG's journey to the decks began humbly on Seattle's dance floors, where he immersed himself in the city's thriving house music community. As a devoted dancer and eager student, he spent countless nights observing the craft of local DJs while developing an instinctive feel for what resonates with crowds. This grassroots education became the cornerstone of his approach when he eventually stepped behind the booth after retuning in 2017.

With deep gratitude for the mentorship received from Seattle's generous DJ community, MattG has cultivated a distinctive sound that thoughtfully blends house, tech house, deep house, and breaks. His sets reflect not only technical proficiency but an authentic understanding of the dance floor experience, wisdom gained through years of being part of the crowd himself.

Over the past eight years, MattG has had the privilege of honing his craft through performances at local Seattle venues and Twitch streams, always with appreciation for the opportunities the community has provided. His sets are marked by infectious energy and fluid transitions, showcasing his dedication to exploring house music's evolving landscape while honoring the traditions that shaped him.

Whether energizing packed dance floors or connecting with streaming audiences worldwide, MattG brings the same genuine passion that first drew him to Seattle's house scene.
