Spencer Brown
also plays New York City — 6 nights
Prizing craft over spectacle, he is recognized by legends and peers for his floor-filling productions and hypnotic crowd command. Whether he’s whipping up a peak-time festival slot or a nine-hour marathon set, no two Spencer Brown parties are ever the same.
As a producer, Spencer’s mastery of groove and melody allows him to blend sounds and thrive across genres. In addition to constant output on his own label, diviine, he’s released recent major singles on labels as varied as Anjunadeep, Bedrock, and Higher Ground. His tracks are played regularly by the world’s top DJs, including Solomun, deadmau5, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Keinemusik, Dubfire, Fisher, Carlita, Carl Cox, Mochakk, and Patrice Bäumel.
As a DJ, Spencer has reached a point of total dance floor control. After nearly 20 years of playing live, he can read any crowd and stir up madness on the fly. Recent conquests include career-defining headline shows in the UK, Albania, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, Brazil, and Argentina. His North American following is deeper than ever, with sold-out sets from San Francisco to New York, Miami to Vancouver, Houston to Calgary. Nearest to his heart is his multishow residency at Stereo Montreal, where he plays 9+ hour marathons in the steps of his inspirations.
The rest of it — four more paragraphs
Spencer began DJing at the age of 12, when his dislike of the music at school parties convinced him to produce his own. His first break came when Avicii signed him to LE7ELS for his "Chalice” EP in 2014. Spencer made his live debut opening for Avicii at the Hollywood Bowl the same year, which led to an opening slot on the North American leg of the True Tour. After graduating from Duke University in 2016, Spencer picked up pace with global tours supporting Above & Beyond and releases with deadmau5.
Spencer released his debut studio album, Illusion of Perfection, in 2018. Inspired by his distaste for radio edits, he presented the LP as one continuous mix. His second mix-format LP, Stream of Consciousness, followed in January 2020. This volume included collaborations from Ben Böhmer, Marsh, and Qrion. Both albums went number one on the iTunes Dance charts and led to international headline tours. 2023 saw the release of his third album, Equanimity, which led to 80 headlining shows worldwide.
More recent show highlights include Echostage with Eric Prydz, Green Valley with Black Coffee, Big Night Live with deadmau5, and Studio 338 with John Digweed, in addition to B2B sets with testpilot and Eli & Fur and a seminal co-headline US club tour with Cristoph in the fall of 2023. 2024 saw the unveiling of his Signature Series of open-to-close shows, where his unique ability to blend sounds and keep crowds swirling was met with rapturous reviews.
As he continues to deepen his powers, Spencer floats above modern day micro genres and puts his gratitude at the fore. As he said after his latest Stereo all-night marathon, “Love is left when there is nowhere to hide.”
