For our final artist announcement for tonight at Quantum: A Sonic Journey Through the Love Spectrum, we present… OMEGosh!
OMEGosh is comprised of the DJ duo MegasaurusRx and Fade.R! Two wonderfully talented artists that are coming together as both lovers and DJs to play a B2B set for us tonight in celebration of Valentine’s Day! We asked them both some questions so we can better introduce them to you all, as individual artists, and about their sound as a duo as well:
Fade.R: I’ve been producing for the past 10 years, and just started DJing a little over a year ago when Meg came into my life and showed me the ropes. It’s been a fun and fulfilling journey teaching each other and working together on our shared passions. My sound varies, but what inspires me and gets my butt moving is experimental bass, garage, breaks, indie pop, and many of the in-between genres of EDM. I’m passionate about all the modern tools available that enable artists to create sounds that have never been heard before. Variety, attention to detail, and the beauty of imperfection are qualities I pursue. The more a song makes you think, “what even is this” (in a good way), the more I will probably vibe with it. “Create and Inspire” are words that mean a lot to me, and if nothing else, that’s what I want to contribute to my community.
MegasaurusRX: I think it's been about 4 years now because my first house party DJ event was right before COVID hit. As far as producing, yes! I am just starting out. That is Josh’s wheelhouse and he's been teaching me on FL Studio and we've begun to start collabing on songs together. It's really fun to be able to teach one another our different specialties and delve deeper into music together.
I think the question more is what I don't spin. But I’ll play anything House, D&B, Breakbeat, Midtempo, Psytrance, Experimental Bass, and a lot of genres I don’t know the name of so I’ll make up a genre name for it. Ever since I've started DJing I've been really motivated to be absorbed in new genres. I feel like I go through kind of an obsession phase where I delve deep to really feel them and explore the subgenres. It’s so fun to then come out of it and be like oh, yeah that will go nicely with this genre to transition to this other genre, and then puzzle it altogether in a multi-genre set.

I spin because most obviously because I love music. But I love doing it for the growth it provides for me, as well as for others. I love trying to play tracks that are not what someone might normally hear and then they end up falling in love with it. I love opening people’s eyes to new genres and sounds. I also love the joy it brings. I love seeing those butts shake. I love seeing when someone is so in the music that they just lose themselves, everything becomes weightless- all worries and stress melts away. I see the bliss on the faces around me and it fills my love tank to know I’m helping facilitate that.
OMG: Our combined sound is still evolving. This is our second back to back together. This set is an exploration of breakbeat sounds, a genre we are both obsessed with. Basically Meg is bringing the b***y (yes, physically too, we all know it) shaking beats and Josh brings this dark, emotional sound to our duo. So expect some undeniable bass face, irresistible b***y shaking, a side of darkness, and a dash of the emotional feels in this buffet of sounds.
Come celebrate V-Day with us, and experience the magical and musical union of all these amazing DJ duos tonight with us at Quantum! 💕
