Small novel incoming... 📖

I wrote this caption last month and then never posted it as the booking hustle took over. Then April hit and some pretty heavy stuff happened in my personal life, and I wasn't sure what to do about this set... But I've had some time to start healing, and I'll be up this Friday night to play my first solo set in PHX since 2024.

Hope to see you there ❤️

"You know, you book these things months in advance and then shift gears back to programming as usual, focusing on what’s in front of you, but before long, what seemed like ages away is now just around the corner…

This Friday, April 17, we’re doing a June Jam pre-party in Phoenix with two acts I’ve been personally spinning for years: (UK) and .music (FR). Bringing a mix of UK- and Toulouse-style club flavors to , this one’s for the real heads and anyone who wants a clearer look at where underground bass music is heading across the pond. Because as we’ve seen happen time and time again, electronic music in the USA has a pretty consistent habit of adopting what’s popping overseas. We're sometimes just a little late to the party. 😉

We’ll have more of this flavor of music at June Jam, but for now, grab your tickets for Friday night! I open it up from 9-11pm. 🔊"

We’re taking the party to Downtown Tucson tonight as Desert Decibels takes over Club Congress. 🔊

Despite DJing in Tucson for over a decade, I’ve never played at Congress, so this one feels special. We’re doing b2bs all night, with fellow Piscean Steve Bonez and me throwing down DnB from 11PM-MIDNIGHT.

The Pisces vibe might be deep, but I have a feeling everyone tonight’s going to be bringing the heat. 🔥

Been such a fan of Monty and Visages since I first discovered them some 5+ years ago, and have spun their tunes countless times. Stoked to host these guys in Phoenix in April for the June Jam pre-party at Walter Studios!

✅ Monty & Visages: June Jam Pre-Party w/ idgaFNK

+ We're giving away a free 3-day festival pass at the show... Just be amongst the first 100 to buy a ticket and you're automatically entered!

June Jam and idgaFNK team up on Friday, April 17, as 1985 Music heavyweights Monty and Visages land at Walter Studios for their AZ debut! 🔊

Based in Toulouse, France, both acts have become key names in Europe’s underground bass scene in recent years.

Monty (UK-born) is known for a high-impact sound that moves between 140, UK garage, halftime, and drum & bass. Toulouse four-piece Visages, part of the South of France wave pushing underground drum & bass forward, blend deep dubstep and soulful DnB with hip hop and reggae influence.

🎧 June Jam music boss SoundScrybe warms up the night with a mix of inspired selections.

🎟️ The first 100 sales will automatically be entered into a raffle for a free ticket + vehicle pass to June Jam 2026! 🏕️

I love it when two crews come together! 🤝

June Jam has always been about escaping the desert for the forest, but this March, we’re taking the party back to its humble beginnings in the club with an intimate night in Tucson, AZ. Thanks to the Desert Decibels crew, who have been throwing shows in S. AZ for a few years and doing the good work of keeping the underground scene moving, we have locked in the first-ever June Jam pre-party in Tucson. 🌵🎶

So we're flying in UK club heavyweights Mystic State and ENIGMA DUBZ on Friday the 13th of March for a massive night at Solar Culture. DdB selectors Soaplab, Coati, and Steve Bonez, and yours truly will be bringing up the front and back on support duties, so strap in 'cuz it's gonna be a good one! 🔥

Getting into the mix at with the crew Saturday night! 🎧

I've always enjoyed a good solstice party — be it summer or winter — and even though it's a cool 85° outside on this December afternoon in Tucson, I'm feeling the call to the darkness. 😈

Kickin' it off at 8pm, and I'm on at 11! Be there or be ◼️

Flashback to the first time Cable Management teamed up with .live on visuals for a set a few years back + the first set jammed with us (without a rehearsal) before was born. 🖤

Bit of a full-circle moment as the 4 of us take the stage together tonight for a jam in Sedona.

For a bit of extra context, Cable Management was originally born as a bit of a joke. Each year at June Jam, I had a final block of music I needed to fill on Monday morning, and the idea was that it would just be made up of whatever DJs in the crew were still standing. But the first year I put it on the schedule, no one showed up except for .earp. So we decided to own it solo. A couple of weeks later, we were back on for a wedding and met , and the 3 of us clicked so well we knew he had to be a part of whatever Cable Management was.

I still remember our first jam session and the hilarious mess of cables it was. We had truly lived up to the name.

In the years that have followed, the “project” has become a bit more serious — especially as Monty and Danny have gone into crush mode with SZN in the Sun — but the whole thing is still built on a foundation of lightheartedness and fun.

So tonight, as we play a set together for the first time in 2 years at .center , we’re bringing that same sense of play to the stage — with a very big emphasis on fun. 😎

Excited to see what comes out of this! Full run of show ⤵️

is bringing some tasteful selections to the Blue Bar at tonight. Planning for a properly deep crate dive with .earp... These extended sets are where our creativity shines and how we got the name. Where we're going, genres are guidelines at best. 😁
