BLENDR is a DJ showcase where guests at Party Illegal’s biweekly open decks event Blends With Friends get to vote on the DJs they want to see perform a full set on the weekend!
This BLENDR lineup features Round 1 and Round 2 winners M3 and Quill alongside Blends With Friends resident Bardo Bloom and a final third contest winner who will be selected on Wednesday April 16th.
M3 (https://www.instagram.com/ftanaked/)
Hailing from Durham, North Carolina, M3 has carved out his own space in the Triangle’s electronic music scene. M3’s genre-spanning sets blend techno, house, jungle, and UK garage into an organic experience that resonates with audiences. Honing his skills, collecting records from various genres, and immersing himself in club culture during his time living in NYC, his focus has always been on the raw, unfiltered energy that comes from mixing vinyl and digital in real-time. With a passion for spinning records from the mid-late 90s, and a relentless drive to push the boundaries of sound, M3 has earned a reputation as a vinyl enthusiast and a truly eclectic force behind the decks.
Quill (https://www.instagram.com/quill_onenonly/)
With a soulful connection to music, Quill brings a fresh and unique energy to the decks, spinning between genres to create an intriguing blend of rhythm and melody. Every set is a mirror of his deep passion for music, aiming to take listeners on a journey of emotions and leave them with an unforgettable sonic experience. With deep island roots, where music was more than sound—it was inheritance—Quill grew up surrounded by rhythm, emotion, and a kaleidoscope of sound. His undying commitment to his craft is what sets him apart and makes each performance memorable. Remember, it isn’t about the beats. It’s about the connection.
Bardo Bloom (https://www.instagram.com/bardo_bloom/)
Durham local @bardo_bloom (Peter Daaleman) brings an array of melodic, organic, and uplifting tracks mixed alongside a growing list of original productions. Drawing from a background in performance and production, Bardo blurs the line between late night drives and the dance floor. You can find Bardo performing throughout the triangle, hosting first Saturdays of each month at @arcanadurham, or co-hosting the bi-weekly open decks @blends_with_friends at @the_pinhook.
