WTFIW is an Edmonton-based DJ who has been perfecting his craft for 10 years, performing locally and abroad.

Having played venues such as Brixx, The Mercury Room, Avenue, 9910, Starlight Room, The Black Dog (AB, Canada) he has also travelled to Astral Harvest (AB), Motion Notion (BC), One Acre Shaker (AB), and Ocean Coral Turquesa(Cancun, Mexico) to share his resounding music.
 
“WTFIW…what does that mean to me?
Freedom of expression,
Freedom to be myself and push others to do the same.
My music selection reflects the festival experience: deep, dark and melodic bass-focused lows punctuated with flowing vocals.
Festivals unlock the depths of people’s souls and my music is the key to unlock surreal experiences.”

NBC9 released his second full-length album State of Control on September 19, 2025, a record that defines his cinematic, bass-driven take on drum and bass. The album follows his 2024 return and marks a key milestone in a journey that has reestablished him as a progressive force in the genre.

This December, he delivers Fragments 2.0, a major follow-up to the original Fragments project. The new release features remixes from @user-449697299, @Psidream, @quoonemusic, @Omneum, @brukout_ca, @iconsdnb, the-mind-hackers, @djNORTY, @YASUKI1214, @d0shi-music, and @diodeofficial— each reinterpreting tracks from State of Control through their own lens, spanning deep, dark, and high-energy variations of drum and bass. Like its predecessor, which showcased Exile, YASUKI, Xtinctor, Lunatronic, AGRO, Irontype, and JRace & Albert White, Fragments 2.0 continues NBC9’s vision of connecting global artists through shared sonic experimentation.

As the head of Embassy 9 Recordings, NBC9 has created a home for his own output as well as a space for collaborators to explore forward-thinking drum and bass. His productions are designed with a dual purpose: to resonate in personal listening settings and to hit with power on dancefloors.

Before his return to drum and bass, NBC9 built an underground reputation under the name Influenza in the early 2000s nu skool breakbeat scene. Releases on Pure Funk, Illeven Eleven, Sponge, and Epidemic reached audiences across North America and the UK, with his music played in iconic venues such as Fabric London.

Two decades on, NBC9 stands with more clarity and intent than ever, blending experience with innovation to drive a sound that continues to evolve.
