Tattoopudge, affectionately known as Pudgie by his peers and fans alike, is a fresh highlight DJ in Los Angeles’ hot underground techno scene. With roots going back to house parties in 1990, Tattoopudge has seen the scene grow in a way few have been around to appreciate, and his influences and sound are a direct reflection of that experience. With early influences like Bad Boy Bill, Humpty Vision, and DJ Irene, Pudgie found a love for powerful and groovy dance music that never left him. Years later, as he began his DJ journey, these inspirations have never left him, but have been bolstered by his passion for the hard-hitting sounds of his modern influences, including Pan Pot, Juliet Fox, Ramiro Lopez, Luis Miranda, Shay De Castro and more. After learning to DJ in 2018, Tattoopudge took his time to grow his skills and his repertoire and by 2020 was practicing regularly and in March 2021 he played his first major gig at a warehouse in Detroit. The sky has been the limit since then. Shortly after, he got booked by Elation events to play direct support for one of his heroes, Brennan Grey, in Las Vegas. This early highlight helped embolden Pudgie to push himself deeper into the scene, playing gigs across the LA underground, carrying and adapting his sound affectively to a range of events and crowds. While being known for his floor-moving DJ sets, Tattoopudge is also widely loved for his passionate and relentless support across LA’s underground. With residencies with TechnoFam LA and A.Y.C.E. Pudgie has reached an ever-growing fan base and brought his sound to wide range of dancefloors. He can also be seen at a variety of festivals getting down on the dancefloor, and partying with his friends backstage alike, always with his signature techno flag and effervescent personality
