Critical value (Justin B ) is a curator of fine melodic progressive house and trance tunes. Originally from Southern California, he got his start DJing in the Los Angeles music scene in 2001. Growing up in a Lebanese-American family, music was always an integral part of his life. His first gigs were in dimly lit chill-out spaces of the back rooms of clubs. He later co-produced a "UK-style" queer weekly at a nightclub in L.A. Those experiences left a mark on his style today and he continues to be influenced by the rave scene, desert parties, dirty dirty house clubs, burning man, and sounds that remind him of home.

Today, Critical Value wants to take you on a sonic journey through the deeper and darker parts of progressive house and progressive trance tunes. Although, don't be surprised if Critical Value takes you to other places too, perhaps some psy-trance, downtempo, tech-house, techno, or even a few cheesy vocal trance numbers.

Enjoy your sonic journey as critical value takes you on a floating voyage through the music that he loves to listen to in hopes that you will fall in love with these tunes like he has.
