classtraitor

Hailing from the underground intersection of anti-establishment politics and dancefloor dynamism, Classtraitor has been steadily carving out a reputation as a subversive force in contemporary DJ culture. Born and raised in the industrial Midwest, their early exposure to punk, hardcore, and techno shaped a unique musical sensibility—one that blends blistering beats with an uncompromising social vision. Known for marathon sets that fuse hardcore breaks, experimental techno, gabber, and politically-charged samples, Classtraitor’s mixes are as much a manifesto as they are a party.

Their approach is direct and confrontational, channeling the urgency of protest into every selection. Projects like the acclaimed "Strike Beats" mixtape series and the celebrated club night "Full Automation" have drawn attention from international collectives, music blogs, and radical cultural spaces alike. Classtraitor is a vocal advocate for anti-capitalist organizing within club culture, frequently collaborating with grassroots movements and fundraising for strike funds, union drives, and mutual aid projects.

Their philosophy extends beyond the booth, seeking to dismantle hierarchies and foster genuine community both on and off the dancefloor. With releases on DIY labels and a global touring schedule that privileges squats, autonomous venues, and activist gatherings over mainstream clubs, Classtraitor continues to push boundaries—using sound as a weapon, solidarity as a strategy, and the rave as a site of resistance.
