04 Bio

TracesOfSound has been producing since their freshman year of high school in 2019, and once ran a studio on Third Street in Fort Wayne recording live rappers. At 18, they started making the drive from Fort Wayne, Indiana up to Chicago almost every weekend, chasing underground raves across the city. What began as a pilgrimage turned into an obsession, and the obsession turned into a decision to get behind the decks.

Immersed in Chicago's underground scene, TracesOfSound built real relationships with the people running it and landed first club gigs in the city before ever having a real foothold there. Since then, they've played for Techno & Espresso and Redline Chicago more times than they can count, with club sets at Sound-Bar along the way. The bookings haven't stayed local either: sets in Cincinnati, runs through Indianapolis, and dates back home at some of Fort Wayne's biggest venues, including Piere's.

Now 21, TracesOfSound runs IntersectEventsFW, a 140 to 160 BPM bass techno and hardstyle collective based in their hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Three shows in, all three sold out. The reach is already growing past state lines, most recently with a booking in Cincinnati for Technically Illegal.
