📸 Recap? In June? Absolutely.

Okay okay… so maybe we took the “fashionably late” thing a little too seriously.. 😅 BUT — these shots were too good to leave in the vault.

April 19th was unreal — big love to everyone who came through, danced, shouted, and helped rattle the walls of with us 💥

Part 1 of the photo recap starts now… more incoming soon (we swear, not two months this time 🤞)

🌱 Artist Spotlight: TUNIC 🌱

This Saturday we welcome one of the East Coast’s finest — , a true champion of 140 and a driving force in American dubstep.

With releases on LDH, ENDZ, and Foto Sounds, and co-signs from heavyweights like Ternion Sound, Distinct Motive, and Peekaboo, Tunic brings both depth and weight to every set.

He’s not just a producer — he’s an audiophile, system operator, and the mind behind Hi-Vi Sound System, repping soundsystem culture with intention and power out of Asheville, NC.

Get ready for proper low-end pressure. Dubstep done right.

💣 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 💣
- CØNTRA -

Denver’s own .slaps touches down in Pittsburgh for the very first time this Saturday, bringing his signature sound to the Steel City. With releases on Deep Dark & Dangerous, Duploc, and Wheel & Deal, and collabs with heavyweights like Chef Boyarbeatz, Pushloop, and Mythm, he’s proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the 140 scene.

Get ready for gritty, chest-rattling bass and uncompromising energy — this one’s gonna hit HEAVY. Pittsburgh, DO NOT miss this one.

🪖 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🪖
T.boink b2b Joey Darker

Pittsburgh heavyweights .boink_ and are linking up for a b2b to kick off the night proper.

Joey Darker operates like a mad scientist behind the decks — digging deep into crates full of finely tuned, low-end weaponry of his own making and beyond. T.boink comes in with surgical blends and unpredictable selections, keeping pressure high from start to finish.

T.boink also heads up Wave Motion Sound, the rig powering the night — so expect this set to be dialed in and system-ready.

Precision meets chaos. Strictly for the heads.

⚠️ ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ⚠️

Hailing from the 412, is a DJ and producer, known for her eclectic 4x4 sets rooted in groove and movement. While her usual palette leans toward house and freeform rhythms, she’s reaching far back in the crate for this one — tapping into a darker, bass-driven sound. Expect heavy low-end pressure and stripped-back textures designed to test the system.

Coachelly isn’t chasing trends — she’s building a space where tension, weight, and rhythm collide.
