Blacklow’s Early Beginnings and Influences:

West Coast-based DJ Blacklow (Jeremy Blacklow) grew up on the dance floors of New York City inspired by the house music of the ’90s. From the time he moved to NYC in 1994, the progressive house beats of Junior Vasquez, Danny Tenaglia, Frankie Knuckles, and the late Peter Rauhofer opened his ears to the sounds that still influence him today. After moving to Los Angeles in 2004, Blacklow finally took his love of music to the next level, playing clubs & events throughout California, before becoming a successful DJ and producer who now tours the world.

Blacklow’s Unique Sound

Blacklow’s sound is a mix of classic house, tech house, progressive house, future house, and disco. His trademark sound is filled with uplifting high energy and soaring vocals. He seamlessly blends the old school and the new to create an incredible momentum-building dance floor journey on every outing. A standard Blacklow set includes a heavy dose of throwbacks and classics, mixed with the latest tracks drawn from a wide array of inspirations.
