Known for their deep dives into liquid drum & bass and hard-hitting jungle, they span the full spectrum of bass-driven music. Their sound effortlessly leans into the raw, ragga-laced intensity of breaks, but flexes easily into house, UK funky, techno, reggae, and beyond—tailored to move any crowd, from intimate club spaces to massive festival stages.

The Pleasure is Back is the powerhouse DJ and production duo of NIGELTHREETIMES and Maachew Bentley—two longtime collaborators and essential pillars in New York’s influential Lot Radio community since 2016. With years of shared history behind the decks, their chemistry is undeniable and their sets, unmissable. As nightlife tastemakers and sonic architects, they’ve spent the better part of a decade curating genre-bending sets that resonate across continents. Their musical dexterity has earned them a loyal following independently and as a pair, with performances including but never limited to the underground clubs of East Asia, the raves of the Americas, and the festival circuits of Europe. Off-stage, they extend their craft through recurring mixes and immersive production soundscapes for a range of clients, continuing to push the boundaries of global club culture.
