Kremwerk Presents: Force Placement (LA) x DJ Dissolve (PDX) x Arel
Saturday | July 26th | 10PM to LATE
**Force Placement**
Force Placement is the DJ and production alias of L.A. native Jason James, who has released all moods of house, techno, IDM, and outsider electronics for labels including 100% Silk, Private Selection, Clave House, Bank NYC, Lost Soul Enterprises, and Evar Records. His DJ sets and high-energy live P.A.s find him mood-shifting between Chicago and Detroit heaters, mind-bending acid techno, dark analog electro, and twisted chill-out room sounds – always with a mysterious, subversive edge. This fluency has led him to residencies with two of L.A's most acclaimed party crews: Into The Woods and The Black Lodge.
James’ journey into the corners of electronic music started at age 12, when he first heard Aphex Twin and The Chemical Brothers on local indie rock radio station KROQ. Trained as a jazz drummer, he ultimately found the rhythmic complexity and subversive attitude he craved within drum ‘n’ bass, breakcore, experimental electronics, and noise. James is also inspired by the minimalist rhythm tracks of Chicago’s Trax and Prescription Records, the Berlin-Detroit axis, and the sampling techniques and warm textures of ‘90s hip-hop producers like Pete Rock and DJ Premier. He has found an outlet for the emotions of darker times in his harsh noise project Nu Sire and drumming for local punk bands like Ruined Age and Body Fluid. At the midheaven between the extremes of light and dark, hard and soft, is where you’ll find Force Placement, embarking on a new adventure in sound.

**DJ Dissolve (PDX)**
DJ dissolve hails from the heart of Portland, four generations deep, where he's soaked up the city's eclectic vibe since day one. A true local, he's deeply connected and invested in Portland, its people, and its politics. Inspired by music’s power to heal and connect he draws inspiration from the diverse sounds, dances, and spirits that have been emitted from the Willamette Valley for millennia.
Co-founder of the Portland-based artist collective Soul House, dj dissolve isn't just about making music – he's on a mission. Fuelled by a passion for community healing and social activism, his sets serve as sonic sanctuaries, where beats become bridges and melodies morph into movements.
Whether he's behind the mixing board, putting on a record, or cueing up with CDJs, DJ dissolve's singular goal remains unchanged: to make his call to the dance floor --- irresistible.
