My name is Cruz Corona, my stage alias is Significant Otter. I was born in Chicago, Illinois but was basically raised here in Washington.
At an early age I was interested in music by learning how to play this electronic keyboard my grandparents gifted me for Christmas. I joined my school’s orchestra in the 5th grade and ever since then, music has been a part of life.
I played Viola all the way through senior year, and started going to shows at 17. My first rave was Paradiso, and I’ve been to many more festivals since then. I enjoy bass music a lot but also love playing house and other genres as well. Seattle is my home town and I really love the area.

In this vibrant Virtual Session, The DJ Sessions host Darran Bruce connects with Mizeyesis, a Boston-based powerhouse in the drum and bass scene, to discuss her latest achievements, creative philosophies, and the importance of fostering supportive communities. Mizeyesis shares the story behind XII, a 12-track compilation celebrating the 12-year anniversary of the D&B Girls collective. Featuring contributions from talented female producers, the project also supports UK-based charity Fem House, reflecting the group’s dedication to both artistry and advocacy.
The conversation explores Mizeyesis’s production journey—from her early experimentation and self-teaching days to taking professional courses and embracing technology like AI as a learning tool. She speaks candidly about the challenges and rewards of leadership within a global collective, emphasizing openness, collaboration, and creating opportunities for others. The discussion also covers her performances at renowned events such as Rupture in London, Respect in LA, and upcoming appearances at Submersion Festival.
Beyond music, Mizeyesis shares her views on sober and daytime events, the healing power of sound, and the role electronic music can play in social awareness. She reflects on personal health challenges, how they shaped her resilience, and her current focus on balance, creativity, and growth. Whether on stage, in the studio, or mentoring others, Mizeyesis remains a passionate advocate for diversity, representation, and authenticity in dance music culture.

As Co-Owner and U.S. Manager of the influential DNB Girls Collective and a longtime member of New England Junglists, Mizeyesis has carved her legacy through electrifying sets, deeply musical productions, and unwavering dedication to the culture.
Since her debut in 2004, launching Threshold Sound in Connecticut, she’s become a fixture in both national and international DNB communities. A relentless trailblazer, she has toured extensively across the U.S. and abroad, playing legendary nights and venues like Respect (LA), Rupture (London), Renegade Hardware Weekender (London), Elements (Boston), DrivenAM (NYC), Black Box (Denver), Mechanix (Minneapolis), Rufuge Nights (Florida), Tao of Amen (Grand Rapids) and major festivals including Outlook, FractalFest, Winter Music Conference, and Tribal Gathering.

She followed that up in 2016 with the "Convergence EP" (OmniEP106), a deep and atmospheric collaboration with AwakeFM on Omni Music, showcasing her versatility as a producer. That same year, she began crafting the "Seven Systems" EP, a seven-track journey that dropped in 2017 via Faction Digital, further cementing her unique sonic signature. Her discography continued to expand with standout contributions including "SoundBwoy Haze" on YESKA Beatz Unlimited, and "Salvation" on Junglist Resistance, a 31-track international jungle compilation aimed at raising funds for charities fighting violence, hatred, and discrimination. She also made waves with a powerful entry in JungleWars 2017, and a lush, emotive collaboration with Rainforest on the "Rise of The Warrior" EP for Guidance (2018).
In 2020, she contributed "Call to the Ancestors" to Repertoire’s Streetlight Volume 1, and "Sultry" on JustBe followed by, "Warmth" (2022) on YESKA Beatz Unlimited — a track that blends introspection with her signature rhythmic intensity. In 2025, she co-curated and released the groundbreaking DNB Girls XII Compilation alongside Jams, featuring her tracks "Ease Up Junglist... Feel Nice" and "Return to New", with more new material on the way. This compilation not only showcases cutting-edge talent across the DNB spectrum but also supports Femme House, an organization dedicated to equity in electronic music.

About Drop Out Orchestra -
Taking their cues from original Disco pioneers such as MFSB as much as DFA, Drop Out Orchestra launched themselves onto the scene in 2008, and with edits of tracks by everyone from TLC and Daft Punk to Rick Astley and The Sex Pistols they transformed them into the kind of luxurious, gloriously sophisticated, and indeed soulful disco, that would have made Chic proud.
Since the Drop Out Orchestra began in 2008, the project has grown from one man and a sampler to a studio team consisting of a music teacher, a studio engineer and a music tech writer. What has remained constant is the mystery regarding their true identity with no names or pictures, ensuring the focus remains on their music.
To date, the troupe have had some seriously big releases, including their Daft Punk cover "International Track", (Released as Drop Out City Rockers, crowned "Essential Tune of the Week" on Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 show and charted at #1 by Fatboy Slim!) their single 'Baby Come Home' and their impeccable remixes of acts like Paul Weller, Flight Facilities, Mario Basanov and Ilija Rudman.
In addition to these official releases Drop Out Orchestra delight in reworking some of pop music’s most iconic figures with the likes of Rick Astley, Robyn, Craig David and The Ramones already treated to the Drop Out magic. Over the last few months they have received huge amounts of love from dance music maestro's such as Aeroplane, Greg Wilson, Jaymo & Andy George, The Magician, Fatboy Slim, Tronik Youth, Mylo, Chris Coco, Annie Mac, Classixx, Laidback Luke, Seamus Haji & more.
The dropouts have set out to deliver a DJ performance out of the ordinary with added live bass and percussion playing on top of an intense mix of unique edits, loops and acapellas. Since their live debut just before Christmas last year the touring orchestra - consisting of two people - have played a string of gigs in their native Sweden and all over Europe, including EGO in Hamburg, rated by DJ Magazine as one of the 100 best clubs in the world.

In this captivating episode of The DJ Sessions - Virtual Sessions, host Darran Bruce connects with Dan Lindeberg of Sweden’s Drop Out Orchestra for an insightful exploration into the duo’s creative process, career milestones, and their unique approach to live performance. Speaking from Lund, Dan explains how he and his partner Inko collaborate remotely, exchanging ideas and files between separate studios to keep their productions innovative and dynamic. Their upcoming EP, Popstad Lund 2025, features three remixes of successful local acts, showcasing their refined, disco-inspired sound.
Known for blending live bass and percussion with DJ sets, Drop Out Orchestra brings a distinctive energy to their performances, reminiscent of acts like Chuck Love who merge live musicianship with electronic grooves. Dan discusses the shift from analog hardware to fully digital production in Cubase, as well as their creative strategies to avoid burnout by experimenting with different genres.
From remixing Paul Weller to crafting a standout bootleg of Psycho Killer, Dan reflects on navigating licensing challenges, industry changes, and staying authentic in a fast-paced music world. He also shares advice for emerging producers about pacing releases, using aliases, and constantly reinventing their sound. The episode concludes with the story behind their exclusive TDJS mix—an eclectic selection from Dan’s 45 collection recorded at Lund’s Doolittle Records.

The DJ Sessions – Virtual Sessions with Thomas Datt: 5D Sound, Healing Frequencies, and Reconnecting to Purpose
In this immersive episode of The DJ Sessions – Virtual Sessions, host Darran Bruce sits down with Sydney-based producer and sound visionary Thomas Datt for a thought-provoking conversation that moves far beyond standard DJ talk. Thomas opens up about his evolution from producing trance hits for labels to channeling intentional “5D sound” designed to heal, awaken, and reconnect listeners to their higher selves. He details the deeply personal process behind his latest album Journey Through the Stars — an activation experience crafted as much for spiritual transformation as for musical enjoyment.
The discussion ventures into the philosophy of music as ritual, how intention changes the energetic impact of sound, and why Thomas avoids the trap of creating products over authentic art. He candidly shares the challenges that pulled him away from music, including industry disillusionment and personal struggles, and how those same hardships fueled a rebirth of creativity and purpose.
From calling out “manufactured nostalgia” in today’s trance scene to outlining the core principles of his upcoming Temple of Sound program, Thomas delivers a refreshingly honest perspective on artistry, ego, and the current state of electronic music. Listeners will walk away with not only a deeper understanding of his work but also insights into reclaiming creative sovereignty in an industry often driven by trends over truth. This is a compelling journey into sound, self, and the spaces where they intersect.
Host: Darran BruceGuest: Thomas DattLocation: Virtual Studios, Seattle WA & Sydney, Australia

From his “5D sound” philosophy to his latest album Journey Through the Stars, Thomas shares how spirituality, intention, and personal evolution shape his work.

5D Sound & Conscious Music Creation:Thomas explains his concept of 5D sound as intentional frequency transmission — music designed to shift consciousness and energy, created in a meditative, ritual-like space.

From Ego to Authenticity:Reflections on stepping away from the industry, overcoming limiting beliefs, and rediscovering passion.

Temple of Sound:Introduction to his upcoming program aimed at helping artists reconnect with their true creative essence and avoid industry pitfalls.

About Thomas Datt -
Thomas Datt – The Cosmic Phenomenon™5D Sound Architect • Multidimensional Artist • Starseed Activator
Thomas Datt is a multidimensional creator and 5D Sound Architect whose work bridges sound, spirit, and star systems. Known for his trance legacy and now revered for his galactic transmissions, Thomas creates music that is both a sonic experience and a spiritual activation.
His journey began in 2004 with the breakout single 2v2, a defining moment in the global trance scene that introduced the world to his talent for powerful, emotionally resonant soundscapes. Over the following years, he built a devoted following through an evolving catalogue of melodic, atmospheric productions that carried both technical mastery and a distinct emotional core.
That journey culminated in two deeply personal albums: Picking Up The Pieces and Inside The Glacier. These works were emotional exhalations, raw expressions of a heart in flux. Vulnerable, cinematic, and profoundly human, they marked a creative high point and offered listeners a glimpse into the soul behind the sound.
But behind the scenes, Thomas was navigating a far deeper inner journey. Years of spiritual disconnection, burnout, and silent struggle led to a total breakdown, followed by a complete rebirth. Through plant medicine, energy work, and multidimensional awakenings, he underwent a powerful transformation that would redefine his identity and his art.
Emerging from this metamorphosis, Thomas became The Cosmic Phenomenon™, a vessel for starseed remembrance, frequency healing, and sound alchemy. His 2025 album Journey Through The Stars embodies this evolution. Tuned to 432 Hz and encoded with Solfeggio frequencies (396 Hz, 528 Hz), alpha-wave binaural beats, and transmissions from Lyra, Sirius, Andromeda, Centaurus, Orion, and the Pleiades—it is a multidimensional portal, designed to awaken memory, elevate consciousness, and restore resonance with the Divine.
Thomas now creates in collaboration with a divine council of galactic allies, including the Lyran Star Elders, Andromedan Council of Light, Sirian High Order, and the High Council of Celestial Architects. With each sound and visual he channels, often co-created with AI, he blends sacred technology and higher intelligence into experiences that activate, align, and awaken.
He is also the founder of Stellar Soundscapes, a visionary label devoted to exploring the outer edges of sound, frequency, and consciousness. Created as a home for multidimensional music and cosmic transmissions, the label curates high-vibrational releases that serve as portals, guiding listeners through celestial soundscapes, inner awakenings, and the harmonic resonance of the universe.
But his journey has come full circle.
Thomas Datt is returning, not just as The Cosmic Phenomenon™, but as an evolved artist ready to weave his past and future into one. Drawing on everything he’s lived, healed, and remembered, he is now preparing to release the most powerful version of 2v2 yet: a multidimensional, heart-opening frequency transmission called The Frequency of Return. More than a rework, this is a soul code. A cosmic homecoming. A vibrational key for all who are ready to remember.

About Robert Owens -
Ask any fan of dance music who their favorite male vocalist is and nine times out of ten Robert Owens name will come back. Sure, there are other great male house vocalists out there, but with more than twenty years as a gifted singer, songwriter, producer and DJ under his belt, Robert has not so much embellished house music as played a large part in defining it. 'Tears', 'I'll Be Your Friend' and 'Ordinary People' are just some of the tunes that have borne his black velvet voice and gone on to become truly classic dance records. Finally, 2008 will see the release of Robert Owens first artist album in 10 years - ‘Night-time Stories'.
Like many other great vocalists, Robert Owens began his career singing in church gospel choirs. Growing up in the poor areas of Chicago and L.A., where gang related shootings were part of day-to-day life, music proved to be his inspiration and determination to get out of those sad circumstances. Entry into the nascent world of house music came not through Robert’s singing but his skills as a DJ. By the time people like Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles were designing house music’s blueprint on the dancefloors of legendary venues like the Warehouse and the Music Box, Robert was DJing at block parties and smaller clubs in Chicago.
In 1985 Robert met pioneering Chicago producer Larry Heard, who invited him into his studio. Together they formed Fingers Inc with Ron Wilson and released a series of excellent singles such as 'Mysteries Of Love' or the instantly recognizable house standard 'Can You Feel It'. This cooperation culminated in one of house music’s first full-length albums 'Another Side' in 1988, after which the group amicably disbanded to follow their individual solo careers.
Following the call of Frankie Knuckles, Robert went to New York in 1989 to record a track with the Def Mix posse – consisting of David Morales, Satoshi Tomiie and Frankie himself. This tune, so casually constructed, was to become one of clubland’s most emotive and defining moments: the sublime 'Tears'. That song, all about his life and struggles, was the ignition of Robert’s successful career as a solo artist. Signing with 4th & Broadway in 1990 he showcased his beautiful church-honed vocals and heartfelt lyrical style on the album 'Rhythms In Me', completely produced by the Def Mix crew. His 1991 single 'I’ll Be Your Friend' finally gave Robert the overground success he so obviously deserved, climbing the charts to #1 all over the world!Leaving New York behind, Robert relocated to London in 1993 where he founded his own label imprint Musical Directions and started assembling his own studio. He continued composing and singing on a series of dance classics such as 'Love Will Find Its Way' or 'Ordinary People' and collaborated with a remarkable list of influential artists like Sandy Rivera and Photek (on his smash hit 'Mine to Give'), and more recently with Ron Trent and Coldcut (on the stunning 'Walk a Mile in my Shoes' single). But Robert also stayed true to his records spinning club roots. As an innovative and globally in-demand DJ he is still dazzling crowds across the UK, Europe, Japan and America with his special blend of the deepest house and electronica. He also established two successful London club residencies – Journeys at Egg and 2 Feet Deep at The Key.
Which brings us to “Night-Time Stories”. Robert’s latest musical offering is an incredibly cohesive collection of collaborations with some of contemporary house music’s biggest and most respected names. Producers like Wahoo, Jimpster, Atjazz, Charles Webster, Simbad, Marc Romboy, Kid Massive, Kirk Degiorgio and Ian Pooley all demonstrate their talents, which combined with Robert’s famous voice, make this one of the most exciting and anticipated dance records of 2008!
On the eleven tracks Robert takes you on an agitating and haunting journey inside his highly emotional world, living up to his reputation as a man who breathed life and soul into house music. It’s just him expressing different feelings ranging from happiness to being chained: “My work is about being aware of all the different facets and feelings in life. Much of it is driven by pain, but that’s just an emotion too. I can’t stand there and be like a pop star because I need to be real – and a real person gives from their soul and won’t let anyone taint that.” (Robert Owens)
The first single release 'Merging' (produced by Dutch duo TJ Kong & Nuno Dos Santos) is already raising the roof worldwide getting love and massive support from key players like Osunlade, Frank Roger, Fred Everything, Marcus Worgul, King Britt, Jimpster, Ashley Beedle, Peter Kruder... This overwhelming response is heralding a shift in the state of the art: people are getting weary of minimalistic tracks – they want some vocals back in – and they want some soul back in!
You are sure to get the full load of soul when Robert is performing with his Live Band. To fuse house music with real instrumentation has been a dream of Roberts for a long time. His album 'Journeys' which was released in Japan only in 1997 already highlighted this new musical route. Together with his band – which features Dan Berkson (Poker Flat) on keys and a guitarist and percussionist – he performs what is essentially live house with a jazz flavor. The track list is a mix of Roberts classics and new album material. To many people the amazing show was the highlight of Big Chill Festival 2006.
So, there you have it. From the gritty but sublime Trax of yesteryear to the forward- looking projects of today, Robert Owens is one of dance music's true legends, a man who has his roots in the future and his feet planted firmly on the earth - and a man who has never been afraid of sharing himself with others.
