WE’LL SEE YOU SOON!It’s been near 18 years since the birth of JUICE Drum and Bass in 2005! Join us for this very special 18th Anniversary celebration at Holocene! Through thick and thin, this night has endured here as the longest running DnB night in Oregon. We’re SO proud of being an anchor in the Pacific Northwest’s electronic music scene, and one of the few DnB events in the states continuing for this length of time. JUICE was my first born, then a hobby and project—and now along with BassRoutes Agency—is a full time career. Heart and soul goes into every single graphic, our merch designs, and every detail of event production for in person events and livestreams. So we’re incredibly excited to welcome this lineup of EPIC proportions: the mighty Artificial Intelligence (London, UK); Spearhead Recs legend BCee (on his first US tour ever); along with the amazingly talented MC Fava (Germany), who will be playing a special live DJ and vocal set. With regional support from West Coast’s finest: Reid Speed (CA), local stateside/UK boss MC Questionmark, and JUICE resident Praderz launching the night—no part of this evening should be missed! Expect to hear world-class drum and bass from the moment you walk through the door, until close.

BENEFIT FOR EARTHQUAKE RELIEF IN TURKEY & SYRIA: Ghost Feet, Outwith, Veradas – 21+
This show will benefit Oxfam’s earthquake emergency response in Turkey and Syria, which is expected to include water and sanitation, shelter and food support as well as longer-term rehabilitation and reconstruction. After releasing their debut record, Together Alone (Dropping Gems, 2015), Ghost Feet decided to shelve the project to focus on their respective solo projects. The duo later reconvened at a Portland studio during the pandemic to build on a sound The FADER once called “…the audio equivalent of dappled sunlight, winking and blinking through the shade”. During those initial studio sessions of live instrumentation, Ghost Feet added lead vocalist Jessie Branch, who records and produces as Erina. The trio leapt into the creative unknown by embracing the experimental sonic textures of 4AD Records over programmed electronics. They have since added bass player Ryan Scott and drummer Benjamin Tyler to their lineup. What resulted from those sessions was the new single, It Disappeared. Rejecting a return to form, their newest single is soaked in rich guitar textures carried by cinematic melodies elevated by the silkiness of Jessie’s ethereal voice. Ghost Feet is Nuri Erdal, Rachel Dubuc, Jessie Branch, Ryan Scott, and Benjamin Tyler, and is based in Portland, Oregon by way of Olympia, Washington. They have released a series of EPs and the full-length Together Alone on Dropping Gems. Their music has been featured in VICE, Impose Magazine, The FADER, Earmilk, XLR8R, and other music publications. It Disappeared is Ghost Feet’s first release as a five-piece and they anticipate releasing an LP in the spring of 2023.
