BRIAN THABAULT is a force to be reckoned with, there’s more to know about his involvement in the scene then we could possibly get across in this post. With over 13 years in the booth, he originally got his start as a producer, then started DJing in college being that nobody else was and felt that vibe was lacking. Born and raised in Vermont then moved to Montana, got connected with the Fox Den. He was a part of that crew and involved in organizing parties and residencies around the state. Eventually Brian packed up shop and moved to Brooklyn. If you’re not in the know, that part of NYC is the staple of the warehouse party scene. He’s still involved in our local scene managing a record label consisting of several Montanans and providing a sound that’s lacking in our region. 
If you haven’t heard him play at festivals in Montana, Burning Man, parties in NYC, Miami, Portland Oregon, or Burlington Vermont then here’s your chance to get down to his melodic sound. Rumor has it he’ll be making a return to a stage MT this summer. 


A few words from the man himself. 

I’m inspired by my surroundings, my friends who produce music and DJ. I recorded this mix live at a private rooftop party in Brooklyn. Filled with Deep House, Breakbeats and Minimal. Tracks by artists such as, DJ Cl3an, Spin Department, Mike Stolin, Snad, Mike Berardi, John Barera, Oshana, Desert Sound Colony, Kerri Chandler, Black Light Smoke, Melodie, Fred P and some tunes I produced. 
Hope it has the ability to take you to that rooftop in the sun surrounded by friends and great vibes.

Introducing…Déjà Brew!

A set lovingly prepared for Earth Frequency Festival 2021 

Back to the scene of the panic attack, another year older, bolder, wiser and yet still aware I’m barely scratching the surface of what’s possible in this space

Wholeheartedly welcomed the change of season and loved the winter fashunnnn expressions roving around like free range art on display to the world

What an honour and privilege it is to be able to gather, to dance, to play, to smile, to bypass small talk entirely and get straight to the good stuff! The banter flows effortlessly into philosophy pausing only for puns or taking off on tangents led by curiosity or passion 

We have evolved to be playful by nature, that is exactly how we learn best from childhood as we develop our cognition, motor skills and sense of the world around us but all the way into adulthood it’s how we bond with other humans, unwind and manage stress

To receive the benefits of play we need to be in a relaxed state and there is nothing I find more soul nourishing than being out amongst nature surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of others who heard the same calling

Each and every one of these tracks has stirred or soothed my soul and I am beyond thankful to the original artists for bringing the rhythmic remedies into my life - See below for full list ❤

Recorded at "Sirion Night" at Dachstock Reitschule Bern.

Sirion Night Dachstock - Nov. 2021

Frango - Sirion Night Dachstock - Nov. 2021

Two weeks ago, some of our favourite people gathered in the heart of our favourite place -- Johannesburg -- for one last night in the inner city. 

The basement of the iconic Turbine Hall provided the ultimate space for a bunker rave. A series of concrete chambers were illuminated by candle light and reverberated with a sensational sound track. 

It was the perfect way to say goodbye -- albeit temporarily -- to the city and the people that we love before we head to Manchester. 

Here's my set from the night. I hope you enjoy it.

A recording of elevator classics and supermarket hits. And that pretty much describes the mix. Recorded on the 14th of June 2018 during dinner service for Colonel Tan's @ Revolver Upstairs. Its not normally like this but there was a good response after the first hour - so I went the hog. 

Enjoy!

One of our favorite purveyors of quality house and techno, Ryan Crosson's knack for seamlessly flowing in, out and through genres in his productions and DJ sets alike is a true testament to his ability as a musician. We're honored to host this exploration of the deeper, downtempo side of the Visionquest co-founder and hope you enjoy this beautiful journey as much as we do.

A Motor City, Berlin, London hybrid, Ryan Crosson is a complex artistic creature. Equal parts energetic, down to earth Detroit native and ultra-refined, musical aesthete, Ryan has one ear to the club and one ear far, far beyond. Known the world over for shape shifting, shoulder shaking tracks on groundbreaking labels including M_nus, Supplement Facts, Spectral, Wagon Repair, and his own Visionquest, Ryan’s production and sampling practices depart from the worlds of house or techno by referencing musique concrète, Downtown New York funk, and East African jazz. Born and raised on a steady diet of post-apocalyptic landscapes, dark warehouses, and the sounds of Plastikman, Matthew Dear, Magda, and Villalobos, Ryan’s DJ sets aim to expand the horizon of possibility without sacrificing dance music’s core element of sweaty, hedonistic fun. His unique musical vocabulary and tireless dedication insure him a place in the dynasty of forward-thinking techno transplants.

Alongside Lee Curtiss and Shaun Reeves, Ryan is responsible for the day-to-day running of Visionquest, one of dance music’s most cherished and eclectic imprints. Ryan and his partners in Visionquest have honed a whole new landscape of lush, organic techno and esoteric leftfield electronica. In 2014, Ryan oversaw the construction of Visionquest’s newest venture—their digital arm and sub-label Brachtune. Full of off-kilter, loopy and positively circus vibes, the tracks showcased on Brachtune will remind long-time friends and fans of Ryan’s early morning sets in the notorious “Tesh Club” basement.

In addition to his work with Visionquest, 2014 was Ryan’s most prolific production career yet, with a staggering number of releases on labels such as Darkroom Dubs, Mobilee, and . Highlights include Bricolage, Ryan’s hotly anticipated first EP for Visionquest, especially the labyrinthine, twisted “Club Chimes,” a heady collaboration with long-time friend and fellow Visionquest artist Cesar Merveille. The year also saw Don’t Be Left Out, a mix CD with another fellow traveler Matt Tolfrey, which has been described as “deep, diverse, and exciting all the way through.”

Bespoke Musik Radio 113 : Ryan Crosson

Four years ago, the french Dj Stan Chopard, decided to move to Leipzig, Germany, to immerse himself in the city that has developed the Downtempo scene as its best. With this influence he has got to play his sets of slowrave in festivals like Pan D'or and La Vallée électrique or also in his residence at spinnerei leipzig. Stan is a tireless seeker of well produced tracks in many genres, always keeping in mind to create the sets the most eclectic as possible.

TANIWHA'S DEN 2020! Wow, what weekend of stellar music and raving with some of the best artists, crew and humans in the game. 
After some unfortunate issues with the recording process leaving my set with missing sections I decided to go back and reconstruct it in the same track order as on the night.

Really stoked to be able to put this one up. First and foremost I'd like to thank everyone involved behind the scenes from Grant the land owner, the visual crew and Mike A and Peter May on the sound, to all the food and drink vendors and crew that make Taniwha's Den possible for artists like me to be able to do what we love with those we love. But most of all I'd like to send heartfelt aroha to all those punters, munters and my mighty rave tribe, thank you all for the love shown on the dance floor not just to me but to everyone involved.

I was lucky enough to play from 9pm through till 10:30pm on the main stage, the sun had just set and darkness fell across the Taniwha. This allowed me the opportunity to change the dynamic of the main floor from a more laid back daytime vibe, pick up the tempo as the lighting came into its own and set up for the acts that directly followed me, my brother Mr. Oz and my sister the motherfucken Heylady, and they SLAYED the dance floor. 

Thanks you to everyone that sent through footage and/or pics from my set too, super appreciated. 

My advice is to turn this fucker up loud and play it outside where it belongs ;)
