    PHONIX (AXIOM) is a Drum & Bass and Techno DJ based in San Diego, California. His passion for music culminated from a period of listening to alt rock influences such as Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    His first true techno event was the original COMPOUND in Los Angeles back in 2017. The grunginess of the warehouse and the minimal lighting created an atmosphere unlike anything he had ever experienced. The following years were spent chasing warehouse parties in LA and club nights in San Diego, as well as visiting Detroit and Berlin to experience the pinnacle of techno nightlife first-hand.

    In 2022 he founded AXIOM as a means to push himself creatively and to bring a harder sound to the local scene. His use of contrast creates a dichotomous style that ranges from deep hypnotic grooves to high-energy dance tracks.

    Starting out in the underground hardcore scene in San Bernardino, PiCO (Heartburst, Involution Radio) immediately found himself engrossed in the high energy vibe of raving. With a big place in his heart consumed by high BPM tunes, it didn't take long for PiCO to fall in love with Drum and Bass and begin his journey as a DJ. Taking influences from the underground DnB scene as well as larger festivals, PiCO started his DJ career in 2015 focusing mainly on soulful and expressive Liquid DnB. It wasn't until his first desert renegade that PiCO was helplessly seduced by the darker sounds of deep minimal Neurofunk. Nowadays, PiCO finds himself with an eclectic range of styles and genres spanning multiple BPMs but always with a focus on ecstatic dance. However, no matter the genre, theres always the understanding that soul and spirit make the body move.
