About Ryan Katz - 

 

Was active from 2012-2018. Signed to Plasmapool Records. Headlined shows in the Midwest and Southeast US, and was second tier on Cluxter Festival, Farm on Fire, and Radiate Festival. Shared stage directly with Cedric Gervais, Autoerotique, Downlink, Dieselboy, San Holo, and many others. Through massive rave series in Cleveland, Ohio called Audio Arena. Five shows, thousands of attendees at laser tag arenas and trampoline parks.

 

Every release charted on beatport, some in Top 10 spots. Had a song go #2 at its highest. 

 

Left DJ/Producing in 2018 to join Audience of Rain, a post-grunge band. Wasn’t necessarily my favorite style of music, but we had tremendous success with our highlight being a song thats currently at 550,000 spotify plays and well on its way to a million.

 

Left the band in July 2021 and started my own band, Killstreak, which is in the style of deathcore (very heavy modern metal). Our debut song and music video “No Scope” comes out independently on May 13th.

 

I also own and operate LiquidSound Records as my full time profession. It is the only full time underground music management agency in North America.
