Today we welcome in DJ Obscure from the DC/Baltimore area with his Lego Land “Rocked on Some Blocks” mix. Obscure is well known in his area from various Symbiotic, B.A.D.A.S.S, and Steez parties. He will be playing in town on the 18th for the Darth & Vader show. This mix is a nice electro/techno mix with some heavy hitters.

Obscure Bio –

Brought up in the Baltimore electro scene at an early age, Dj 0bscure (Marcus) has moved up and down the east coast rapidly. Moving people with a combination of hard-hitting electro, breaks, techno, progressive melodic breakdowns, a few dutchy beats and exceeding amounts of energy on stage it is no stretch of the imagination as to why his skills have impressed the likes of Symbiotic, Ultra Promotions, Camp Bisco Promotions, Give Productions, Steez Promo and Badass Raves.  

Playing everywhere between DC, MD, PA, NY, NC & WV including venues like  Echostage, Ultrabar, The Fillmore (Silver Spring), U-Street Music Hall, Baltimore Soundstage, The Paradox, Baltimore Convention Center (Otakon 2012) along with more outdoor venues than your mom has room for. If it’s not the track selection, it’s the carefully composed progression of his sets that sets him apart. Having opened for like Big Gigantic, Kill Paris, Savoy, Zedd, Dirty Talk, Lucky Date and Dylan Sanders, there are no signs of Dj 0bscure slowing down. 

See him at LAZERFACE with Darth & Vader April 18th
