Phrenik

While San Diego’s veteran DJ/Producer Phrenik made his mark on the Southern California electronic music scene primarily through drum and bass, unbeknownst to many, his influence and impact reaches much further. Both varied and versatile, with high-energy performances and critically acclaimed productions acting as his calling cards, Phrenik’s position as a major player in the world of EDM has been surely secured. 
 
Long a staple on the SoCal scene, Phrenik’s popularity grew nationally and internationally through his highly rated radio show on DrumnBassTV.com, “The Resistance”, which he hosted for 5 years. After leaving the station in 2008 to focus on his production, his studio credibility began to start a buzz amongst the industry with his critically acclaimed dubstep remix of Rihanna’s hit, Disturbia, receiving downloads numbered in the thousands, hitting home with fans of both Rihanna and the grimey dubstep enthusiasts alike.
 
Since then, Phrenik’s reputation as a respected producer was further solidified when he teamed up with renowned vocalist Jillian Ann to create their breakthrough dubstep hit ‘Set It Off’ which broke the Beatport Top 50 within its first week of release on Simplify Recordings, not to mention also climbing to #1 in all-time label sales for the site.
