PrEssHa is one of the most versatile DJs in the Pacific Northwest and throws down a wild variety of sick beats with impeccable mixing skills, from techno to hip-hop to dubstep to breaks to electro house to drum and bass to glitch hop. Immersed in the party and responsive to the desires of his audience, PrEssHa loves to create a scorching dance floor riot, and you will find him in clubs all over Seattle having as much fun as the dancers getting down to his blazing beats.
From an early background mixing hip hop and classic rock, PrEssHa discovered breaks and was hooked on the chunky, dance-friendly beats, which he was soon playing out all over the Puget Sound region. Now skilled in many genres, PrEssHa is a resident at Noc Noc, Trinity, LSC, and is an established player in a dozen more Seattle hot spots. He has two mix CD’s out as well as two “whompcasts” a series of pod casts that focus on dubstep and midtempo coming out of the Northwest. He was also voted to “The Best of 2007” on radio station The Vortex C89.5, where he was also the first Iron DJ, playing three genres in three hours live.
An active member of the Burning Man community, PrEssHa’s exposure to the slower tempos and world music sounds of the festival has created in him a driving passion for sharing the beat-centric, glitch-hop sound that is sweeping the West Coast. This DJ’s talents are welcome at camp sound systems all over the Playa, and in 2009 was asked to play at numerous large sound camps. All the while keeping his own home camp sated with brilliant beats from sunrise to sunset to sunrise, and then some.
PrEssHa has opened for Donald Glaude, Propa Tingz, Mochipet, 3WS (Ana Sia and Danny Corn), 12th Planet, Simply Jeff, Keith McKenzie, Adam F, Bachelors of Science and Ninja Tune’s Nanquan. As a regular feature at Seattle’s Decibel Festival, this local favorite has been on the bill with Caspa, N-Type, Mimosa, Heyoka, an-ten-nae, Mike Slott, Megasoid, Mala and Mary Anne Hobbs. With several bookings a week, a full-time school schedule, and plans to open for Babylon System and Mozaic in the near future, PrEssHa is a busy man, but this ambitious DJ still finds time to learn how to produce and is starting to establish his own unique sound.
As one of the pioneers of the un-named, bass-heavy genre in the Seattle community, PrEssHa will most definitely continue to lay new twists to whatever sound he is playing at the moment. And we will continue to dance.
