SELECTAS FOR THIS SESSION:

*Welcoming Los Angeles Pioneer*
::NIGHTSTALKER::
[Knowledge Mag/ Primordial- LA]

With his flawless technique and signature style behind the decks, Nightstalker is a name that has become synonymous with dancefloor mayhem and the future of west coast junglism. Best known as an expert and champion of drum & bass culture worldwide, it’s no secret that Nightstalker’s alter ego as music journalist Chris Muniz has earned him immeasurable recognition and respect.

Currently the drum & bass editor at URB and monthly contributor to the UK’s own legendary Knowledge mag, Nightstalker can also be found representing in mags like Rinse, XLR8R, and ATM on a regular basis. With over seven years as a professional journalist under his belt, Nightstalker’s relationship with all the major players ensure that he has steady access to the freshest tunes, VIPs, and remixes long before they're released to the public. Even without the smoking bits in his bag, there’s no doubt that Nightstalker’s infectious energy and ability to work the crowd have earned him a hardcore following.

Having played at every major drum & bass arena in Southern California, Nightstalker originally paid his dues in the rave scene, hustling gigs and dropping beats every chance he could with fond memories of legendary L.A. underground venues like the Masterdome, the Shaolin Temple and the Stillwater Hotel. Even more important was the creation of his infamous and now-defunct Thursday night rinse-out Primordial on vibeflow.com. While it was definitely a space for fresh talent to make a name for themselves, most heads tuned in to catch sets from the all-start cast of VIP players who would often drop by unannounced. Heavy-hitters like Pendulum, Klute, Photek, Panacea, DJ Rap, Pieter K, E-Sassin, John Tejada, and even non-d&b artists like Ron D. Core and Omar Santana would regularly roll through and flex their skills for the internet massive.

Now in consistent rotation at all the top clubs and parties in the U.S., Nightstalker has rocked crowds alongside the likes of Goldie, Ed Rush & Optical, Tech Itch, Dylan, SS, Dillinja, Lemon D, Roni Size, Marcus Intalex, Trace, Black Sun Empire, Mampi Swift, Friction, Hive, Gridlok, and Juju to name a few. Known for pushing audiences to the breaking point and transforming an average night at the club into a high-energy, mind-bending journey, it’s obvious that Nightstalker enjoys the music as much if not more than his audience does. Part entertainer, part performer and part shaman, the only way to truly understand the power Nightstalker wields is to experience him live with a crowd of heaving bodies at your side.

Fresh off his recent 3-date tour of Japan supporting none other than Goldie, Nightstalker can also routinely be found bringing the heat to cities like San Diego, San Francisco, Denver, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Seattle, and of course, Los Angeles. Eager to take his vibe international with planned appearances in Germany, Holland, and Russia in the coming year, also be expecting a full-fledged production assault that is sure to further solidify Nightstalker's reputation as one of the hottest new-school artists to emerge in recent memory.
