@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 watched 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. After learning to DJ in 2018, Tattoopudge took his time to grow his skills and his repertoire.
By 2020, he 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. He’s also shared the stage with artists such as 6ejou, Tonal Theory, Shay De Castro, Luis Miranda, Orly Gal, Kill Your Idols, Naomi Luna, Carlo Lio, Charles D, Anna Reusch, Jetzen and Tommy Four Seven, Gioh Cecato, Dj Jordan, Cera Khin, Victor Calderone, Sam Paganini, Ramiro Lopez, Enrico Sangiuliano, Len Faki and Drunken Kong, Joyhauser, Thomas Schumacher, Mha Iri and Teenage Mutants. 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 TechnoFamLA, Incognito and A.Y.C.E., Pudgie has reached an ever-growing fan base and has brought his sound to a wide range of dancefloors including Sound Nightclub, Escape Psycho Circus, Camp OG at EDC and Camp OG at Nocturnal Wonderland. And now he’s having the measure us at the capsule for a night in Texas spinning some records
