Barroness

🎧 One of my favourite parts of preparing for PHANTOMFEST is the DJ contest. Every year, we get dozens of entries which range from "wtf is that?" to "where has this artist been all of my life?".

I always love to discover new artists, music and sounds. And I love giving people an opportunity to shine. For some, it's their first real gig and others it's a chance to play in front of an entirely new crowd.

And I love the way we choose the winners - blindly. No names, no counting of social media followers.

Last Wiggle Warehouse was a blast! 🏙️✈️ Friday we do it again but This time I’m playing in the .to Techno room from 1-2:30, for my 1st ever dedicated Techno set, full of new goodies I found at this year!

🛣️ Road trip to in Kincardine for Shack Shakers Saturday 🚘✨

So grateful to travel, play, and share music in new spaces. Huge thank you to for the incredibly sweet writeup:

“The first time I heard Barroness play was at Boreal, an eclectic, canoe-in music gathering held each summer in the forests of Moon River by the legendary Alien InFlux crew.

Late that night under the shimmering stars and laser-bathed tree canopy, she commanded the dance floor through her snappy, sensuous, psychedelic beats and her flawlessly articulate mixing style. For that 90 minutes, she created a sensory experience and atmosphere that held the enthusiastic crowd captivated and dancing ecstatically.

I got to meet her the next day, and now she’s always a smiling face I’m happy to see when Rosie and I attend parties or festivals.

We are wildly excited to welcome her and present her sound on our tailored soundsystem to create a magical space for dancers and listeners alike. While the classic Shack Shaker vibes you love will still be in full effect, this night will be something new and different from what we’ve done so far.

I hope you will join us for this special occasion and come out to experience something that no one else in our area can deliver.”

Feeling very honoured. Can’t wait to bring the Barroness sound to Kincardine 💫
