If you’re looking for a mainstream, pop DJ, then Dust Blaze is not your guy. A self-described music nerd, with a broad musical repertoire, Dust Blaze effortlessly navigates genres from dancehall, garage, punk, house, rap, drum n bass, techno, and everything in between. A Dust Blaze set is more about creating a vibe than sticking to a category. His performances are like musical conversations with the crowd, preferring inside jokes over civilities.
Inspired by pioneers such as Hollertronix and the Misshapes, Dust Blaze weaves disparate tracks into cohesive, boundary-pushing sets. His sets are subversive, irreverently erudite, raw, queer and will lift you to a new plane in the way that only experiences of discovery will connect you to.
Dust Blaze began his DJ career at his favorite local NYC neighborhood dive, Nowhere Bar, with his monthly party called Guts NYC. This eventually expanded to venues such as 3 Dollar Bill, Ichibantei, Hulas Waikiki, and Next Door Honolulu. He also DJed the weekly party Thiccc at The Cock NYC, celebrating “men of color and the people who love them.”
