Devin Kelly AKA Adlib
by Devin Kelly AKA Adlib
Tacoma, WA-based DJ/producer Devin Kelly (AKA Adlib) has been an unwavering techno activist for over twenty years. Whether it was through his humble beginnings in small town Idaho or his decade-plus residencies with the Shameless (Seattle) and Monkey Do (Los Angeles) DJ crews, he has long been at the center of the region’s dance music underground. His mixture of heady yet crowd rocking house and techno cuts earn him regular headlining spots at clubs, renegade parties and festival across the Western US and beyond. But he is best known for his co-creation of the legendary Esthetic Evolution music and arts festival and his long career as a political and community organizer. These backgrounds bring a sense of collective empowerment, resistance and celebration into all of his DJ sets and events. His newest project, “For Love and Struggle,” uses music, community and social commentary to bridge these worlds, because there are 33 revolutions on the turntable and one in the streets.

Throbax
Throbax is my latest attempt at tech house and electro-isn stuff I was into back in the day. Almost all of the synth sounds were made with my Moog Sub 37, except a few of the more padlike things. It isn't exactly what I'm DJing these days, but was a good experiment at making layered, call and...

New Weeerd's Eve
This is a reproduction of my New Weeerd's Eve 2017 set. I had the distinct honor of playing a late night psychedelic techno and acid set for one of the greatest collections of weeerdos and heads I've ever encountered in an intimate gathering on the Oregon Coast. The set starts a bit deeper and...

A Little Bit Later is my most recent foray into deeper, early morning acid sounds. I hope you like it!
