About Fraktured Phoenix

Fraktured Phoenix is the Phoenix, Arizona chapter of the Fraktured Nation DJ crew and an underground drum and bass, breaks and bass-music event promoter, founded 2017. We have thrown underground raves, warehouse parties and club nights in Phoenix, AZ ever since, run our own sound, lights and stage, book breaks, drum and bass, house and bass music, and keep a promo list for the nights that never get posted publicly.

Fraktured Nation since 2016. Fraktured Phoenix since 2017. Led by Brook B since 2021, a DJ since 1999 and in crews since 2003. Our roots are breaks and drum & bass, and we book every genre.

We are the Arizona chapter of Fraktured Nation, a crew founded in Seattle in 2016 that now has chapters in Seattle, Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami and Portland, with family scattered across the globe. The Phoenix chapter came on in 2017, co-founded by Excell, DavzNotHere, Zaptek and Bacteria (RIP), and has been feeding the Valley's dance floors ever since.

From club nights to the warehouse

The early years ran through club shows and streaming: regular sessions on Facebook, then Twitch as it became the DJ platform. In 2021 we started a monthly in Tempe, and soon after, Brook B stepped in as crew lead alongside co-leads Zaptek and Dirty Mind Tricks. Monthly club residencies in Mesa followed, and then the move that defined us: into the warehouses. That's where we found our groove, and it's where you'll usually find us now: underground rooms, thumping sound, lights and lasers at 4am.

Who we've brought out

Over the years we've put names like Stanton Warriors, The Freestylers, Curtis B, Simply Jeff, Keith MacKenzie, Exzakt, Huda Hudia, Deekline, Deejay Shaolin and many more on Phoenix stages, alongside the Fraktured Nation family and a local roster we'll put up against any city's. We've collaborated with crews like Walter's, Frequency Rebels, Word of Mouth Collective, Fairytale Productions, Sound Life, Rollout DnB, the Fillmore, Rough Touch Productions, Essential Freaks, Subterra, Upward Trajectory and many more, and worked out-of-state runs like Road To Crystal Mountain.

The sound

We're Home of the Broken Beat: breaks and drum & bass are the backbone, UKG close behind. But there's great music in every genre and we don't discriminate: a Fraktured night will run dubstep, techno, house, trance, psytrance and more across its stages. You'll always find the breaks and the DnB; the point is that you'll find everything else too. (Genre homework: our field guide.)

What we're about

We grew up going to raves in the late 90s, and the crew builds for that same feeling: the belonging, the PLUR, being in the warehouse at 4 in the morning with the music pumping and everything right in the moment. 60+ documented events and 913 photos later (see for yourself), with 13 resident DJs carrying the sound, that's still the whole point.
