🚧 bumpy california indie dance + tech house 🐐 goat 1001tracklists #1 producer 2025 beatport #1 indie dance 2025 nu moda · founder 🍾 new ep · 7 aug 2026 iii points 2026 · b2b vintage culture

san luis obispo, california. he opened for Above & Beyond while he was still in high school, which turned into a support slot for Steve Aoki, which turned into a deal. "Badman" with Autoerotique came out on Dim Mak in november 2014 and aoki called it one of his biggest club records of the year.

that version of him made trap and electro. the one you know now started in january 2023 with the "Wanna Dance" ep on John Summit's Experts Only. a fan later turned the title into a bracelet and handed it to him, which he says is still the best thing anyone has given him.

april 2025 was the tell. his coachella debut at the do lab, and groovesmaxxing was there for it. a few hours later Vintage Culture closed friday night in the yuma tent, dropped "Inferno", the Diynamic cut max had put out that january, and pulled him on stage mid set to hand him his flowers in front of the whole tent.

he closed 2025 as beatport's number one top-selling artist in indie dance and number two in tech house, and they made him artist of the month that january. the djs said it even louder: 1001tracklists' top 101 producers list put him at number one for 2025, the most played producer in verified sets worldwide 🔥

I almost think that the whole 'one big song' thing is a little bit dated now.

in october 2025 he started Nu Moda and moved every 2026 release onto it. the label opened with "You & Me", which pulled remixes from Vintage Culture in december and Notre Dame in january, and Solomun reworked "One More" in march.

Nu Moda basically means 'new style.' It's a reminder to push the boundaries, not do the same thing twice, and look for other people who are naturally in that same mindset.

april 2026 took him back to indio, this time playing the yuma tent himself. the official yuma recap catches the entrance, which was cinema. the same month put "Freaky 1" out with Vintage Culture and Ali Love. he is on the 2026 guest list for Solomun +1, and he played lollapalooza chicago on 1 august 2026.

the groovesmaxxing verdict, stated for the record: one of the goats 🐐. the sets below are the receipts.

his six track ep I Don't Think I Can Stop landed on Nu Moda on 7 august 2026, features from kuuda and benni ola, running "Body Shake" to "Templo Disko". the video for "Love Forever" went up the same day 🍾

next stop miami. he is billed b2b with Vintage Culture at iii points, mana wynwood, 16 and 17 october 2026. the same pairing that put him on stage in the yuma tent in 2025, except this time they share the decks. see you there 🔥
