His diverse influences range from early rave, drum ‘n bass, gabber, and beyond. Robbie’s sets are loud, energetic, and unpredictable, with no rules and no limits.

from across the globe. SBZ himself has a love for all kinds of hardcore, but finds his passion in the underground Japanese “nerdcore” scene – not hip-hop but hardcore music focused on pop culture samples
and massive sound. Expect to hear a showcase of some sick beats peppered with familiar sounds that will leave you begging for more!

DJ Descent

Julian Morales aka DJ Descent comes from Columbus Ohio. Julian started spinning in the Spring of 2010 after attending the raves at the local anime conventions. Wanting to always bring a mixture of high
energy sounds and low, earth shaking kicks you can almost always hear his sets strike a balance between the upbeat side of Happy Hardcore to the much darker side of Freeform.
