Seattle, WA 98107
Featuring: https://www.facebook.com/ben.mcallister https://www.facebook.com/greg.sinibaldi https://www.facebook.com/banjordan The global devastation and human misery wrought by the lack of solid guitar worshipping and noisemaking activities—to say nothing of natural and man-made disasters—is unmistakable. They threaten to rip the social fabric to shreds and in many parts of the world these societal ills have already caused irreparable damage. What is conspicuously lacking in combating these virtually apocalyptic scenarios are effective solutions. To that end, in the course of his decades of research into the mind and spirit, Ben McAllister developed methods by which to address the crises that threaten our world. To bring those solutions to bear, the Seattle center of the Cult has been established to act as a “picking temple,” which thereby set in motion broad-scale movements in the name of this, this and this. Further, and to realize The Guitar Cult’s greater humanitarian objective, the Cult has made readily available, easily assimilated and rapidly distributable multimedia tools to raise awareness, educate and activate millions. The result: the Guitar Cult’s revolutionary social betterment and humanitarian programs, reflected in live performances and recorded form. They are utterly unique, indisputably cutting edge and most importantly—effective.

Luke's Wall www.facebook.com/LukesWallBlackSabbathTributeBand/ LUKE’S WALL was formed 20 years ago by four rabid Sabbath fans from Port Orchard, Washington. All four had already spent a few years together in the experimental metal band "Woodrot" and would spend time before and after practice jamming out Ozzy-era Sabbath tunes with style and ease, like it was built into their DNA. Over the last 20 years the band has held a "keep it fun" attitude and only played local shows once a year at best to keep things low key, but now it seems the time has come for Joe White: Guitar (Golden Pig Electric Blues Band) James Hunnicutt: Vocals (solo artist) Tony Reed: Drums (Mos Generator) & Eric Seipp: Bass (Golden Pig Electric Blues Band) to venture out and take their place as one of the top Black Sabbath tribute bands on the circuit. No gimmicks, just true Sabbath worship. Plus Special Guests Zombie Jihad https://www.facebook.com/zombiejihadband/

Step into yourself with serene motion for The Galaxies Within Us Tour by Kill Paris. This OG music producer has a story to tell that is bound to get your cerebellum knockin. Is there any better way to experience deep introspection? Be at Substation March 7th with Headyworks & Family NIght Seattle to find out. || Kill Paris || Los Angeles, CA soundcloud.com/killparis twitter.com/killparis instagram.com/killparismusic Corey Baker, professionally known as Kill Paris, is a multi-instrumental producer from a quiet town in Indiana, USA. Picking up guitar at the age of 15, the musical journey began and soon enough Coreys life was devoted to the art of sound. From there, he took on learning piano, bass and percussion to soon call himself a well-rounded musician. Over the next decade, the Kill Paris project came to fruition naturally - the world of electronic music always sparked something in him. Corey got certified in Ableton Training, where he would teach one on one production lessons and hold seminars while simultaneously working on his artistry. A righteous move to Los Angeles sealed the deal, launching his career in 2012 under Skrillex's wing with free projects available and officially under the name Kill Paris. And just like that a signature sound was created effortlessly and tastefully done. Coreys unforgettable keytar makes his ive performances an extraordinary experience. His sense of humor and genuine attention to his fans coin him as the worlds friendliest DJ, and his objective to bring a sense of well-being and security to the dance music community has made a deep-rooted impact. PRESS/CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Two EP releases on OWSLA To A New Earth (2013) and Foreplay (2014)) International tour with Zedd North American tour with Bassnectar North American tour with Big Gigantic International Headlining Tour Kill Paris & Friends with support from Illenium and Manic Focus International Headlining Tour supporting Galaxies Between Us via his independent company, Sexy Electric | Pilz Beats | Seattle, WA Inner-galactic liquid jazz beats soundcloud.com/pilzbeats/ pilzbeats.bandcamp.com/ instagram.com/pilzbeats/ Pilz creates samples from the world around him, melding the serene expressions of cities, spirited rainforests and ethereal synth work into soundscapes that delve the listener into a blissed-out world of nostalgia and groove filled psychedelia. Funky horn riffs, experimental jazz-keys and dimension ripping bass-lines are all tested components of Pilz’s productions - an alchemical synthesis of soul into song. Agency/Label Affiliations and Releases: Gravitas Recordings, Street Ritual, Shadowtrix Music, Super Best Records, Funkadelphia Recordings, Modern Illusion | Subduktion | Seattle, WA soundcloud.com/Sub_duktion facebook.com/subduktion/ As the consciousness of the underground bass music scene becomes more aware of its own infinite possibilities, one artist has become the spearhead of this movement. Samuel Jhon aka Subduktion works tirelessly to hone his subsonic frequencies into some kind of entity that is as powerful as it is futuristic. By blending elements of jungle, hip hop and dub, this Korean native has created a sound that unleashes seismic waves of energy over his audience, shifting their movement on the dance floor like the tectonic plates below their feet. Prepare to plunge into the Subduktion Zone. | OxyMoron | Seattle, WA soundcloud.com/oxymoronmusuic facebook.com/OfficialOxymoron/ One half of the trance duo Frequent Flyer Miles has deviated from his trancey ways to bring you the newest of new in disco, funk, and house beats with his new alias "oxymoron." With notable releases through Build It Records, Alex Henkens is bringing you his particular brand of tunes that is surely something you haven't heard yet, stay tuned for more big things to come. | Keano | Seattle WA soundcloud.com/KeanoMartinez facebook.com/DjKeano Host of The Bassment on C89.5FM Thursdays 11pm-1am.

::WARNING:: This movie depicts the heinous real-life acts of bigoted violence in and around Oslo, Norway in the early 1990's perpetrated by a group of pampered teenagers who were and are members of the Black Metal bands Mayhem, Burzum, and Emperor. Both Kaala and Substation unequivocally condemn the actions contained within this movie. However, we feel that understanding the historical context of contemporary societal problems, especially in underground music (fascism, racism, homophobia, nazism, etc.) is one part of the equation of eliminating anti-social ideologies. Thus, we are screening it. Focus on that "one part" aspect: this isn't some proposal for a dialogue with Richard Spencer. We are screening this so that when you, too, run into a Spencer or his fascist ilk on the street, at a show, or anywhere else, you are able to punch them in the face even more judiciously than you otherwise would've. https://www.loudersound.com/features/murder-arson-betrayal-how-lords-of-chaos-put-black-metal-on-the-big-screen

WA-based production teams Family Night Seattle & HeadyWorks personally invites your lovely self to partake in our event. Tune into the abstract and funky vibes of our special gathering of musical performances. These events are not just entertaining; they're an artistic experience. Prepare to have your senses become heavily stimulated and your soul filled with carefree bliss as you indulge in our unique and visually appealing custom-built stage, live painting, local vendors, and performing arts. | VibeSquaD | Denver, CO facebook.com/therealVIBESQUAD/ Vibesquad.bandcamp.com soundcloud.com/vibesquad VibeSquaD, aka Aaron Holstein, is Colorado’s most beloved bass music producer/performer/innovator. His trained musical background contribute to his unique take on bass music, which carries him around the country playing packed clubs coast to coast. Since VibeSquaD’s inception in 2007, he has released three full-length albums, two previous EP’s, as well as remixes and singles for Interchill, Multi Music and Proboscis. The New Creatures EP is his next release, showcasing his top-notch production skills and originality over the course of six tracks. The EP is charged with the energy and positivity that has come to define VibeSquaD’s signature sound and vibrant stage persona. In addition to his deep electronic production abilities, New Creatures shows the influence Aaron’s twenty plus years experience playing live music in various touring groups has on his sound. As a trained multi instrumentalist with a jazz background, VibeSquaD adds melodic sensibility to these gems of bass music and truly delivers on in this six-track EP. Equipped with tweaked vocal samples, polyrhythmic textures, and trunk rattling bass, these tracks grab hold and refuse to let go. Swirling, soaring synth textures weave throughout hard-hitting drum patterns on top of crushing bass thick enough to send any dance floor into a frenzy. | Ill-esha | Denver, CO facebook.com/ill.esha.music/ soundcloud.com/ill-esha For many years ill-esha has weathered the dynamic, often ephemeral soundscape of electronic music, simply by being an original. “I’m not really an observer. I’m very much a participant and a creator,” self-describes the Vancouver, British Columbia-born artist, songwriter, producer, and DJ. “Everything I do in my life, it quickly becomes way more than a hobby.” From growing up in the EDM hotbed of the Pacific Northwest, attending raves in her teens, ill-esha accelerated her musical passions to the fullest. “First I wanted to be part of this culture as a DJ, doing vocals and curating music. After that, I also needed to participate in the music I was playing,” referring to her progression as a producer and headlining performer. “I’ve just been moving one step up at a time over the years, into being this completely original show.” | GladKill | Oakland, CA facebook.com/gladkill/ soundcloud.com/gladkill With a heavier emphasis on songwriting and song structure, Gladkill is aiming to make music that will stand the test of time. When you listen to Gladkill’s songs or see him perform, you’ll discover an artist set apart between the sheets of cool bass lines and ethereal melodies. In an era where disposable dance music is big business, Gladkill makes anything but. Room 2 | Enki | Seattle, WA facebook.com/Enki333/ soundcloud.com/enkimusic Enki a.k.a Rian Jones, from Seattle, Washington has been a long standing pillar in the underground music scene. With solid roots set in hip-hop, he has expanded his musical repertoire to encompass soulful electronic music for a combination that is sure to spark anyones musical interest. Enki first got involved in the community as a promoter. And, although he has always been musically inclined; he started producing underground music in 1998. In 2006, Enki co-founded Soma Events and eventually started a monthly event called Soma Drum and Bass Sessions. In 2010, he began exploring his career as a DJ, and has made a solid reputation for himself in the electronic community. His most celebrated talent on the decks has been his ability to read the crowd and superb musical selection to set the tone for any party. He is ready to travel, and expand his career by becoming more involved in live production, and getting lined up on the festival circuit. Enki is inspired by the moment, his love for the people and positive energy, and wants to spread joy through music; because life is about being happy. | ASE | Seattle, WA https://soundcloud.com/alyssamariehovde | Rootabeggas| Seattle, WA facebook.com/rootabeggas/ https://soundcloud.com/rootabeggas Skrrt McGowen & Shredder Lovold "You Turnip, We Rootabeggas" Vendors Saebyn Marie Designs The intricate yet simplistic style of Saebyn Marie’s custom jewelry is unique and yet, there is always a piece that seems to fit everyone.

Digital Theory Presents: Mind Vortex & Mob Tactics
Substation
645 NW 45th St
Seattle, WA 98107
The next DT event is some Double Headliner action: Mind Vortex Exclusive to Ram Records: ‘Now It’s Time’ and ‘Onslaught’ were the first tracks of Mind Vortex’s on Ram. Debuted on Andy C’s critically acclaimed ‘Nightlife 5’ mix. ‘Now It’s Time’ received wide radio support on BBC radio 1 and BBC radio 1Xtra. Their debut Ram single ‘Hotbox’ followed and it dominated the drum & bass charts at both BBC 1Xtra and Beatport. The remixed Don Diablo’s Silent Shadows which has over 2.1 million YouTube views and climbing and also the remixed Camo and Krooked’s Cryptkeeper on Hospital Records. ‘Alive / Arc’, on Ram Records with Alive receiving over 2 million YouTube views and climbing and Arc hitting number one in the BBC 1Xtra and Beatport charts. The Wilkinson – Heartbeat feat P.Money and Arlissa (Mind Vortex Remix), The Family Rain – Feel better (Mind Vortex Remix), Alec Metric and Jaques Le Cont – Safe With You (Mind Vortex Remix), Dr Meaker – Don’t Think It’s Love (Mind Vortex Remix), and Camo and Krooked’s Feel your Pulse, which went to Number One on the Beatport and BBC 1Xtra charts for 3 weeks. In 2014, Colours E.P was released on Ram Records. Also, the track Impulse was featured on the RAMsterdam Compilation album on Ram Records, with an increased Dj presence in the UK and across Europe and a tour across Australia. Also included were headline shows across cities in Russia. In 2016, they remixed Black Sun Empire’s – Until The World Ends, which was nominated for Best Remix at the Drum and Bass Arena awards. They were also featured in shows like the Amsterdam Dance Event, and many others across Europe as well as touring Australia and New Zealand. 2017 saw the performance alongside Andy C at his XOYO residency in London, followed by playing Rampage Festival in Belgium to over 15,000 people. Other festivals include Liquicity Festival, Dour Festival an Australia and New Zealand tour and numerous club shows across Europe. Following this, they released Music Is My Life with Adam F on Ram Records, gaining over 480,000 Spotify streams. Mob Tactics Mob Tactics seem to be a name on people's lips more and more of late. Already renowned for their inimitable style of techy – yet very funky, dancefloor orientated Drum & Bass, the duo appear to be going from strength-to-strength with each release. Their tunes are already firm staples in the sets of Andy C, Friction, Matrix & Futurebound,DJ Hype and Audio, to name but a few, and the demand for them on the DJ circuit is rapidly gaining momentum. Heavily influenced by the likes of Ed Rush & Optical, Bad Company, Konflict and Total Science, you can always guarantee a Mob Tactics release or DJ set will be nothing short of high octane. Luke and Mark first met in 2009, when Luke, who was running the music department at Chemical Records, signed some of Mark's tunes to their in-house imprint: RUN DNB. After instantly hitting it off and realising their musical tastes were so similar, the two decided to hit the studio in early 2010. The first weekend at Mark's studio they managed to create 'Gunjack' and the following weekend at Luke's, they knocked out 'Stick-up Kid' – both of which went on to garner support from DJ Hype, Bailey & Crissy Criss, and were subsequently released a few months later on Traffic Music. Mob Tactics was born. Fast forward a few years and the boys are in full swing. 2011/2012 saw several releases on the duos own imprint: Tactical Recordings – including the critically acclaimed 'Kansas' and a track for BTK's Dutty Audio label entitled 'Prang'. But it was 2013 that proved to be the most successful year to date. The dancehall tinged hit: 'Crazy Hype', featuring ragga legend, Elephant Man, was snapped up byPlayaz. Their remix of Cause4Concern's early 2000 anthem: 'Soul'went on to feature in the sets of just about every man and his dog!Prolix snatched up 'Grotbags' for his Trendkill imprint, and legendary Andy C signed up 'Wolf Trap' exclusively for the sixth installment of his hugely successful 'Nightlife' compilations. 2014 saw no sign of slowing down with releases on Chase & Status' MTA Records, including 'The Answer EP' and the single 'Gasp For Breath', along with tracks featured on UKF Bass Culture, Ram Records 'Ram Miami' and 'Ram Life: Audio' compilations. Now moving into the next chapter of their careers, Mob Tactics have signed exclusively to Futurebound's Viper Recordings label with their debut single 'Neon God'. Walking the fine line between uplifting and underground, 'Neon God' signals the exclusive and triumphant pairing of Viper Recordings and Mob Tactics which is going make a lot of noise, both figuratively and literally. Hosted by Mc Sake One & Spiralus Local support including: Miss Min.D DJ Sho-Nuph AKOMA And more to be added soon

Doomed Spring '19: 11 Days in Tokyo with Summoned By Giants, Flo
Kaala Tours & Seattle’s own Substation have partnered up to start producing joint bi-coastal tours between Japanese and Seattle bands. On our inaugural run, we’ve paired Seattle’s stoned sorcerers Summoned by Giants with Tokyo sludgelords Floaters! At the same time, Seattle’s revered Doomologists, Bell Witch, are heading over to Tokyo with Denver’s nastiest neanderthals, PRIMITIVE MAN, for a triple threat tour with everyone’s favorite Death-Doom kvltists, Coffins! But here’s the thing: we want you, the legions of heavy music fans, to go, too. SO!

Cultivate: Dillinja 4/25 at Substation
Substation
645 NW 45th St
Seattle, WA 98107
Family Night, Onset, & DnB Tuesdays Present: CULTIVATE feat. DILLINJA - Valve Recordings https://soundcloud.com/dillinja One of the more prolific producers in jungle music -- with records on over ten labels strong, two of them his own -- Dillinja is one of the few drum'n'bass artists who spends more time in the production studio than in clubs. While living in Brixton in the early '90s, he became tipped to jungle by DJ Bryan G, who lived around the corner from him. Fascinated with the sound of drum'n'bass, Dillinja began recording in 1991, releasing tracks on Cybotron, Intelligent IQ, Conqueror, Logic, Lionheart, V, Philly Blunt, and his own Deadly Vinyl label. In 1994, he recorded "The Angels Fell" for Goldie's Metalheadz label and became one of the hottest names in jungle. With his friend Lemon D. (who has also recorded for Metalheadz), Dillinja formed Valve Records, a label that expanded the drum'n'bass aesthetic to include elements of ancient analogue sequences. Though he signed to the major label London for a long-term contract, a planned LP was dropped and he continued producing multiple singles for the Test label during 1998-99.
