About

The Set Times is firsthand dance music journalism from the Pacific Northwest: Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, and everywhere under the clouds in between. It rains a lot out here and the shows go on anyway, so we do too.

We'd rather tell you what a room actually felt like than reprint a press release. The photos and words are ours because we were in there. We name the openers, and we publish set times whenever we can pry them loose. If a piece covers an event we were hired to shoot, it says so in the first lines.

The rules

• Every claim is witnessed or attributed.
• We don't take payment for coverage.
• No stock media. Every visual is ours or credited with permission.
• No-photo policies at underground events are honored.
