PrEssHa is one of the most versatile DJs in Seattle and throws down sick beats with impeccable skills from techno to hip-hop to dub step to breaks to electro house to drum and bass to glitch hop. Immersed in the party and responsive to the desires of his audience, PrEssHa loves to create a scorching dance floor riot, and you will find him in clubs all over the city having as much fun as the dancers getting down to the blazing beats.
PrEssHa started DJing years ago from a background mixing hip hop with classic rock, but the young talent soon discovered breaks and was hooked on the hefty, chunky, dance-friendly beats. The DJ name of PrEssHa fell on him, literally, when a huge chunk of ceiling and dust collapsed onto the decks during his set. Staying cool and collected and not missing a beat, he continued to play and the MC at the party dubbed him PrEssHa, for playing under it. Adding more significance, the capitalized letters in his name stand for Pure Electronic Harmony. Indeed.
Back home in the Puget Sound area, PrEssHa could be found on a nightly basis carrying around a simple set of Technics, a pair of Kenwood house speakers and a Fisher amp, making him a welcome sight at any house party where he would rock out for the love of the game. PrEssHa was soon noticed and brought in to play shows for big names in the local hip-hop scene and in no time was playing all over Seattle, his name on the lips of club kids and partygoers citywide.
PrEssHa currently holds residences at Noc Noc and The Jet, and regularly lights dance floors on fire at Trinity, Last Supper Club, Contour, Heavens, and many more clubs around Seattle. He has opened for Donald Glaude, Simply Jeff, Keith McKenzie, Adam F, Bachelors of Science and Ninjatunes “Nanquan.â€
Voted to “The Best of 2007†on The Vortex 89.5. this most diverse DJ is now deep into the mid tempo, dubby, glitch-hop sound that is sweeping the West Coast, and as one of the pioneers of the un-named, bass-heavy genre in the Seattle electronic music community PrEssHa will most definitely continue to lay new twists to whatever he is playing, and we will no doubt continue to dance.
