Phaaser got its start in summer 2021 as a rogue all-ages, after-dark pop-up featuring local techno purists blasting minimal beats in industrially zoned parking lots. Earlier this summer, the event’s organizers opened their own venue, Disctrix, landing Phaaser a new home. Featuring occasional film screenings and other all-ages shows, Disctrix is structurally optimized for Phaaser’s throbbing bass and frenetic rhythms spun at breakneck tempos that play on at ear-bleeding volume long after most Nashville DJ sets have been cut short by last call.
