Part of the Artist Collective "Eleven SixtySix", I have been able to explore Darker Ethereal soundscapes, as well as a crash course in independent production. Working alongside amazing talents such as BLKZEN, Kaiju Killer Klan, Monsters on the Horizon and many more, Inwas able to create a deeper sound and a firm niche for my music. Part of Earthtone NYC, alongside Gi Major and others, I was able to find a solid footing for his UK inspired audio palette. growing up as a part of NYCs rave scene, I always had a place in m6 heart for UK music, whether it be Grime, Dubstep, Garage, DnB, Jungle etc. Its only natural that I would find himself a part of NYCs Grime Collective, with radio sets on Rinse.fm alongside D.J. Oblig and Marcus Nasty of Nasty Crew fame, Grime is definitely a pillar of my sound. combining his sharp wit and his renaissance-esque vernacular L.O.C. always Delivers a unique audio experienceRecently at The Gutter, Honey's, Main Drag Music · often with Lovelydaze, @shmookyy, tonton, none of them here that night
