Welcome Mike Beasley to the stage and to Montana. He moved to the state early 2020 from Colorado. Brought with him his unique style of mixing as well as his large sound system and is integrating himself into the community with his party Signal Test in Whitefish. We’er excited to have him in the community and looking forward to his events.
Here’s some words from the man himself
Mike Beasley AKA 0BS3RVR
It's kind of a new creation to explore different styles of sound. Admittedly I've had a few different monikers over the years, Delete & Lost Format are two that that I had back in Colorado and back when I lived in France.
I started collecting vinyl and djing back in 2000, a friend bought a set of decks and a mixer and down the rabbit hole we went.
I got my hands on an actual mixtape from Vitamin D live at "Time Warp" Toronto 1998...sort of blew my mind. Back then it was all underground. You had to go to the raves and parties to hear that sound. The rave scene was pretty big in Colorado during those years.
I ran with a couple of drum and bass crews in Paris France, those were crazy parties back in 2007-2009, Batofar, a bunch of smaller venues out there, a couple of French "free parties" out in the countryside with some pretty big systems. Some underground warehouse parties in Denver. Signal Test was a monthly which I would promote/run sound/often dj with some friends from the mountains and front range CO. Campouts and burner related events as well.
My roots are in Drum & Bass. More of the experimental bass music and dub. I like good techno also. I try to compartmentalize because I'm across the spectrum depending on the weather.
This mix isn't indicative of what I normally play, not at all. This mix was recorded a while back before I moved to MT, it felt appropriate to share here. Wanted to share something a bit more introspective, especially during a time when humanity has endured so much.
Montana called me. So stoked and grateful to be here and discovering all the magic and meeting new friends and community.
