J.B. Vries picked up a guitar at the ripe age of 13 and never looked back. During his early music career he aspired more towards being the next Slash from Guns n’ Roses than a club DJ and only became infatuated with electronic beats when first exposed to ATB, The Chemical Brothers, and Paul Van Dyk. The electronic sounds were enticing to say the least and almost overnight the aspiring heavy metal guitarist set his sights on becoming a club thumping DJ and producer.
Today, J.B. lives in Downtown San Francisco where he continues to produce, DJ, and progress as a musician and performer.
"This Opulent Temple mix is a culmination of recent influences in psy and techno. My recent collaborations with OT Resident DJ Billy Casazza have resulted in a tried and tested stompfest of a tune titled 'Running WIld', scheduled to release April 26th on Dichotic Recordings. The Trevor Flynn remix is 4th up in this mix and wrapping up this mix is a single one of my singles titled 'Pre-Fade', also forthcoming on Dichotic. Thank you for lending me your ears, enjoy!"
