This one-hour house music journey features seventeen carefully curated tracks mixed by Portland-based DJ ekiM, who also goes by Mike Backwards. The audio moves through deep grooves and infectious rhythms, capturing the authentic energy of the Pacific Northwest electronic music underground. Rather than relying on a traditional storyboard, multimedia producer Cesar built this visual world by taking raw artwork and combining elements to construct entirely new universes, which he then brought to life through animation. Drawing on his expertise in Adobe Creative Cloud and traditional analog art techniques, every single design element was hand-crafted using Premiere Pro, After Effects, Firefly, Photoshop, and Illustrator to create a fully immersive sensory experience. It is a true collision of sight and sound, built by creators who live and breathe the local scene. #HouseMusic #PortlandDJs #PDXRaves #UndergroundHouse #DJLife
