OMNOM
2024-08-02 18:00 - 23:00
We are thrilled to announce OMNOM’s long-awaited return to The Music Yard on Friday, August 2nd!

Individuality is OMNOM’s calling card. It’s precisely what prompts him to operate not just off house music’s beaten path, but so deeply within his own lane that he evades comparison and predictability. In his inability to be pinned down lies OMNOM’s power. And since 2018, he’s channeled it to steadily chart his course to a distinction coveted by many in dance/electronic circles but ultimately claimed by few: household name.

Over the past five years, the enigmatic producer has increasingly carved his niche in the house scene with a clear sense of mystique. This involves not just toeing the line between the underground and the mainstream, but hopping, skipping, and jumping around it. It’s a matter not only of skill, but also of fluidity and agility. The result? Left-of-center, bass-fueled house maximalism. This risk taking persona has lead to him receiving the support of some of House music’s heaviest-hitters including Walker & Royce, FISHER, Kyle Watson, Claude Vonstroke, and Justin Martin.

Com Truise (DJ Set)
2024-06-29 18:00 - 23:00
Synthwave funk tastemaker Com Truise headlines The Music Yard on Saturday, June 29th!

Com Truise is one of the many personas of producer and designer Seth Haley. An admitted synth obsessive, Com Truise is the maker of an experimental and bottom heavy style with neon-streaked melodies, big drums, robotic grooves, bleary nostalgia is what make him special.

While subliminally informed by both parental record collections and hints of faded electronics product design, Haley’s Com Truise project isn’t just nostalgia capitalization. There are fragments (read: DNA strands) of Joy Division, New Order, and the Cocteau Twins, but it’s like you’re hearing them through the motherboard of a waterlogged console—demented and modern. He’s got a way of making familiar things sound beautifully hand-smeared.
