Blue: Black V Neck, Blossom, Habstrakt

We're back with a new edition of Blue on Friday, June 21st featuring an electric lineup of talent including Black V Neck, Blossom, Habstrakt, and Tom Zeta. Join us on The Roof at Superior Ingredients and start your weekend off right with a 7 hour open air party.

These Miami natives were discovered by house music powerhouse Shiba San and signed their first big release on his label, Basement Leak. Their track "Let Me Smash" blew up on the Beatport charts, kick-starting their journey into the house music scene. Black V Neck has rocked some of the hottest stages in the house music world. From Beyond Wonderland and Countdown NYE to Day Trip and Green Velvet's La La Land show with Factory 93, these guys are no strangers to big gigs. Their energetic sets have made "two dudes, one shirt" a must-see act in the tech house scene.

Their talent caught the eye of Claude VonStroke, leading to the release of the "Mouth Music EP" on DIRTYBIRD. Tracks like "Sex, Drugs, Alcohol" and "Mouth Music" stayed on Beatport’s Top 100 Tech House chart for weeks, showing the world that Black V Neck knows how to make hits. Their tracks have become festival anthems, club bangers, and radio favorites. With support from heavyweights like Claude VonStroke, Chris Lake, Green Velvet, Lee Foss, Shiba San, Diplo, AC Slater, and Jax Jones, Black V Neck keeps the beats coming. Even in 2020, they didn't slow down, landing their first Defected release with a remix of the summer hit "Deep End," which smashed into Beatport’s Top 10.

Ian and Julian, the duo behind Black V Neck, keep pushing the envelope. They've dropped tracks on top labels like Lee Foss’ South of Saturn, Club Sweat, CID’s Night Service Only, Insomniac Records, and OWSLA. Their remix game is strong too, with reworks for Salvatore Ganacci, Bruno Furlan, Volac, Walker & Royce, and VNSSA.

Though describing himself in his twitter bio as a “dj music producer or something”, the Habstrakt first came to light as an emerging dub-step artist back in 2008. Now the discerning composer rides high within the realms of bass and electro house.

HABSTRAKT’s unique sound cleverly bridges an array of genres, combining elements of dubstep, house, garage, drum’n’bass, and hip-hop, with his hit-tracks often boasting squealing bass sounds, metallic and organic textures, tight and bright drums, and the use of a catchy vocal or two.

Off the back of his 2023 debut album Heritage, he’s been flying the flag for his eclectic sounds around the US on his very own tour. The album is a blade-running, synth-driven musical journey with a blend of hard EDM and slower ambient tracks. The LP chronicles his time from when he moved to Los Angeles to the present day.

Habstrakt’s distinctive production style and sound has seen him jump on tracks with the likes of DJ Snake, Matroda, Tchami, and Nitepunk with continuous support from both Skrillex & Diplo.

Blossom's journey as an artist is a testament to her versatility, determination, and passion for music. Born in London and raised in Phoenix, she spent 12 years immersed in classical music, playing in an orchestra and developing a deep understanding of musical theory and performance. This classical foundation laid the groundwork for her unique approach to dance music.

Blossom's transition to dance music began in her teenage years, influenced by the music her sister played and her own explorations on platforms like Myspace and iTunes. She delved into Garage Band and Logic Pro X, honing her production skills. Her real breakthrough came in 2015 when she enrolled at Dubspot in Los Angeles. The school's intensive programs in DJing and music production provided her with the technical expertise and confidence to pursue her passion professionally.

From there, Blossom quickly made a name for herself in the Phoenix dance scene, earning a reputation as a reliable tastemaker and innovative producer. Her unique blend of heavy bass, energetic beats, and versatile soundscapes caught the attention of major figures in the dance music community. Blossom's music resonated with audiences, leading to support from notable artists such as AC Slater, Habstrakt, Joyryde, and Steve Aoki.

In addition to her music production, Blossom's live performances have been a significant aspect of her career. She has graced the stages of renowned festivals and events, captivating crowds with her dynamic DJ sets. In addition to touring with Night Bass for their ten year anniversary this year, Blossom has also embarked on a tour of solo shows, including stops in Chicago, Denver, and DC.
