Gnosis ANC is proud to present the Anchorage return of Sonant (Josh D) as we meet once again for another night of deep, forward-thinking dnb and jungle vibes!
Sonant cofounded Gnosis DnB in Portland, Oregon with Believe, and is a fixture in the Portland DnB community. Over some twenty years he has worked with other dnb nights such as Crush DnB, and Proper Movement–which he also helped get started. He was also an early AK DnB pioneer–(sometimes playing B2B vinyl sets with Believe)– and rinsin' it out at places like Club @, and the Alano Club, and in addition ran a weekly vinyl session at the former SubZero. Joshua Sonant brings over 2 decades of experience behind the decks, and has played at internationally renowned dnb nights such as DnB Tuesdays, and Juice Drum n' Bass, and in addition has opened for countless dnb headliners and luminaries including Klute, Total Science, Spor and more, and has graced the decks at parties, clubs and festivals up and down the West Coast. Please help us give him a warm Alaska welcome as he makes his first appearance at the Anchorage chapter of Gnosis!!
With local support from DJ Devious (aka Dan Church), Oscillax, Dat Kid Shawn, and Believe, this is a night not to be missed!

GNOSIS INFO:
Gnosis was originally founded in beautiful Portland, Oregon and is still going strong in the Rose City. We're proud and excited to bring some of the Gnosis vibe to Anchortown–and Alaska–as we explore the sounds of DnB and pursue "a meditative state achieved through music of 160 bpm and beyond."

He is known for his precise mixing, and intelligent, future-leaning and liquid-inspired tunes that get things moving.
