The Serious
Electronic Press Kit

The Serious is a DJ and event producer with over 30 years behind the decks, known for blending the sounds that keep dance floors moving. His technical precision, deep musical knowledge, and instinct for reading a crowd have made him a master at creating transformative dance floor experiences that stay with people long after the night ends.

​

He calls Portland home, but has performed for audiences across the US, Canada, and Mexico. His festival appearances include SHIFT Festival, SOAK, and Burning Man, where he has played to thousands at Slut Garden and Tectonic, both legendary Esplanade camps, and aboard Crystal Groove, a powerhouse Portland-built art car cruising the playa.

 

From intimate underground clubs to sprawling festival stages, his skill in crafting seamless, crowd-moving journeys has earned him a reputation as a trusted architect of peak moments.

​

Through his production company Bootycorp, The Serious extends this ethos into a community-driven platform. What began as a playful party concept evolved into a movement that hosts events raising money for nonprofits, fostering connection, and transforming nightlife into something more meaningful.

 

Bootycorp has grown into a lifestyle brand embraced by dancers worldwide, uniting music, culture, and purpose in equal measure.

​

For The Serious, it has always been about more than music. His relentless passion lies in curating the vibe, bringing together sound, space, and energy to create those rare, magical moments where time dissolves and the dance floor feels infinite.
