Friday, May 1, 2026, SubSensory returns to @process.pdx for another night of high-quality techno music featuring the PDX debut of DJ TOOL, cofounder of Berlin’s Mala Junta. Featuring: DJ TOOL - Mala Junta, Berlin (@interdimensional_jojo ) Tracy Why - The Function / SubSensory (@tracywhy ) Pr0xima - SubSensory (@pr0xima_music ) More info: DJ TOOL’s quicksilver sound is as intrepidly propulsive as it is indebted to the old school. Isochronously authentic and assertive, his sets traverse percolating trance, frenetic techno and seductive psychedelia across an encyclopaedic back-catalogue of clandestine classics. Enraptured by the raw essence of DJing, TOOL honed his style as part of Copenhagen’s Fast Forward collective, boasting an apodictic vinyl dexterity that quickly earned him international renown. High energy and even higher stamina, his anarchistic and indefatigable 8-hour(+) sets at Berlin’s Mala Junta have catalysed fabled closings at the likes of Tbilisi’s Bassiani, New York’s Basement, and London’s Fold. As a co-founder of Mala Junta, TOOL’s assiduous efforts to politicise nightlife and re-contextualise trance within the queer underground has led to multiple collaborations with Berghain, as well as activist DIY collectives worldwide. From the studio to the floor, every ingredient of his output emanates an energy that’s irrefutably TOOL. We are beyond excited to present this cutting-edge artist on the world-class Danley Sound Labs system at Process PDX. Support: Tracy Why - We’re thrilled to reintroduce this veteran DJ who is also co-founder of The Function event series, a longtime SubSensory resident and designer, and founder of the legendary Cock Block PDX event series. Pr0xima - this ascending DJ, producer, and live performer makes her Process debut on the heels of her recent LA debut at the massive Perctrax showcase by Dirty Epic and several excellent releases on SubSensory. Limited early bird tickets are available on @resident_advisor Art by @tracywhy Process PDX 5040 SE Milwaukie Ave 10pm-late $25/30

Some pics from English Estate winery in Vancouver. The multi-generation farm has been there since 1903, producing potatoes and prunes back in the day, and was also a dairy farm before transforming into a winery. Nice people, great wine and close-in to town. We like it. #winecountry #washingtonwinery #washingtonwine #englishestatewinery #harvestseason #winetasting #pnw #pnwlife #farm
