Our first guest recording in our new home! Shaun was on our list to play well before the move so we were glad to get him in right away. He brought the vibes with fantastic deep, minimal house vibes that kept the crowd going all night!

Shaun Whitcher: Live at Back of the House March 9th, 2023

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!

Originally from the deserts of Wyoming, Miss Min.D has found her home in the Seattle music scene in 2004.
Co-founding of production companies such as Skunky Beats, DJ4NORML and most recently Fraktured, in the greater Seattle area, Miss Min.D has over 19 years of throwing shows and jamming beats! She has ranged from UK Hard House, Electro House, Disco swing house, Booty Breaks and most recently Liquid Drum and Bass. 
Playing with many names such as DJ Dan, Krafty Kuts, Left/Right and Donald Glaude she has held several residencies at local hot spots around Seattle such as Last Supper Club, Club Contour and Noc Noc. 

Her current residencies are with Fraktured at The High Dive and Back of the House at Still Liquor. 
 Her style and energy behind the decks is a force to be reckoned with and will never disappoint! With great track selection and energy through the roof, she hopes to make that booty clap and you drop it down low on the dance floor! 
Hope you’re ready to dance!

Simpa has been behind the decks since 1993, starting his journey in the underground scene of Salt Lake City, Utah. House music was his first passion, shaped by early influences like Mark E Quark, Myxlplix, and the Wicked Crew SF. Over the years, his musical exploration took him through Goa trance and Drum and Bass, which has remained his primary musical focus since the early 2000s.

Relocating to San Francisco in 2000, and later to Santa Cruz, Portland, and Seattle, Simpa's sound evolved alongside his travels. After taking a break to raise a family, he returned to the scene with renewed energy, earning a prominent place within Seattle’s DnB community. He quickly became a fixture at the longest-running DnB weekly in the U.S., and has shared the stage with heavyweights like Calibre, Spectrasoul, Bachelors of Science, Ben Soundscape, Quadrant, Iris, Kid Hops, Homemade Weapons, and Dara.

During the COVID era, Simpa rediscovered his roots in House music, and has since been lighting up Seattle’s dancefloors with his dynamic sets, blending the best of both worlds. Whether it’s the driving rhythms of DnB or the soulful grooves of House, Simpa’s sets promise a journey of sound that reflects decades of experience and passion.

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.
