Motives

Washington-DC based Motives has quickly established himself as a rising force in melodic house, techno, and progressive. His emotionally charged and dynamic productions have earned support from industry icons such as Above & Beyond, Nora En Pure, Qrion, Gabriel & Dresden, EDX, and Sultan+Shepard. His breakout remix of Le Youth’s ‘Miraje’ (Anjunabeats) captured global attention when it premiered on Above & Beyond’s renowned ‘Group Therapy’ radio show, earning him guest mix duties on ‘Anjunabeats Worldwide.’ His original track ‘Gone’ (Colorize) found similar success, landing on multiple ‘Best of 2022’ compilations and solidifying a spot on ‘Colorize: Classics.’ Motives’ ability to craft intentional, deeply resonant DJ sets has earned him support opportunities for Eric Prydz, Yotto, Adriatique, Bedouin, Spencer Brown, Nora En Pure, Hot Since 82, and many more.
