Pinedrops is a Missoula-based DJ who has been at the forefront of the scene throughout recent years. With a vast collection of music and taste, Pinedrops plays all-styles — funk, disco, techno, house, jungle, DnB, hip-hop, and much more.
A keen underground selector with a carefully curated trove of musical spells to move and mesmerize. From funk, house, and techno to deep cuts of white label and everything in between. Exploring pockets within pockets his sound trends towards the minimal and hypnotic with an emphasis on good beats and vibes rather than tempo and genre-specific tribalism.
illjock loves the ways music allows us to inhabit time. While he loves to live in the range he cut his teeth on (hard groove/hard drum/techno/electro), you’ll notice his mixes contain blends spanning time period, genre, and geography. His goal with every set is to channel the utopic impulse of “the party” and create waves of feeling (sometimes euphoric, sometimes melancholic, always in service of expanding the horizon of the heart). He was born and raised in Missoula and has played across the US and Asia.
