Semblance, a Los Angeles, CA native, has been DJ'ing since day one of the new millennium. His musical tastes are rooted in industrial and electronica plus a heavy dose of funk; and yes, he has proven that they can indeed co-exist. After having moved to Portland, OR, he immersed himself in the local DJ community spinning techno-laced filtered house at venues such as Level, The Ohm, The Greek, and Fez Ballroom. After years of experience behind the decks and becoming increasingly aware of what resonates with him, two styles of music have risen to the surface -- deep-house and psytrance. Semblance's deep-house sets will immerse you in a virtual pool of techy house-laiden sexiness, while his intense flavour of psy (referred to by some as 'hardstyle meets psytrance') will drive even the most sober of crowds into a chaotic frenzy beyond the reach of rationality. By understanding himself and embracing these two genres of music, he is able to transmit his raw energy on to the dancefloor.

Aside from playing at local clubs, bars, outdoor parties, and events, Semblance is currently involved in co-running two monthly events in Portland. The first, Sacred Space, is one of the hottest monthly psytrance events in the area and draws a variety of talent from Seattle to Eugene. The second event, Pulse, is a night of deep/minimal music which showcases the more intellectual, glitchy side of Portland's DJ community. When he's not playing live, his mixes frequent the airwaves on 94.7 FM's Cocktail and Modern Mix shows. This DJ has certainly done his share intertwining himself with the Portland scene, and future horizons are beckoning. Keep your ears and mind open for this one; be ready to experience.
