Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hello my name is River , I live in Seattle, and I was put on this Earth to make people Dance!!
I go by Vampyre for a couple reasons, one of them NOT having to do with any affiliation between Twilight and Seattle. Lol.
Vampires represent Eternal Youth, Darkness, and Debauchery….Something that i am very drawn to. The Darker and Heavier styles of House create a vibe like ive never seen before. The music that i spin, and the music that i will inevitably produce, is such a fantastic combination of Heavy Bass, 4×4 beats to cut the floor to, and Psychedelic Darkness to bring your mind on a journey like you've never been on before.
Oh that and Vampyres are pretty sexy lookin too, i love to wear Custom Acrylic Teeth when i perform 8)
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
So i started listening to EDM when Skrillex dropped Scary Monsters, and my first show was Bassnectar in 2012… So im quite the glorified Basshead to say the least hahaha. Hardstyle was also one of my first loves, and always will be!! However its pretty crazy how i got into spinning the music that i did, because i had no clue that i would find anything like it!
After listening to Dubstep for so many years, and knowing how difficult it would be to keep up with the market, when i picked up turntables, i turned to my Roots. House Music. After i started mixing and getting good, it seemed like the new best wave of music plopped itself on my lap. I didnt choose it, IT chose me!!! ? And i cant wait to ride the wave.
What´s new right now?
I turn 21 in 3 months so Seattle Bookings that i have previously had to turn down, will be coming back around and there will be a lot more of me happening in the scene. I am super sad to say though, that my computer crashed the day after 2018 started and i lost all my files, so my March 25th release date for my 2 song EP is going to be probably getting pushed back a little bit hahaha. I am keeping my morale and pushing through my difficulties but just know that an Original is in the brewery!!!!
Much Love and Thanks to you all <3
