SIDEPIECE is the American house and tech-house duo of Dylan Ragland (Party Favor) and Ricky Mears (Nitti Gritti), formed in 2019 as a side project that outgrew the label — their second single, 'On My Mind' with Diplo, took a Best Dance Recording Grammy nomination in 2021 and remains one of the most-streamed tracks in the modern tech-house wave. Their sets are unsubtle by design: fast, hooky, vocal-driven house aimed squarely at a packed floor rather than a listening room. The two PNW dates are separate one-off headline club nights rather than a regional run — REALM PDX in Portland on Halloween 2026 and The Shop Club in Seattle on December 5, both 21+.
Popularity
How this is measured
An absolute, national (US) measure — not a ranking against the other artists on this site. We take the strongest of three open signals: ListenBrainz listens, English Wikipedia pageviews, and the number of Wikipedia language editions that have an article. The strongest one wins, so a signal we couldn't read never drags the result down. Bucket 1 means measured and small. Unrated never means small — it means we don't have the numbers.

What listeners say SAMPLE DATA
Everything reachable about SIDEPIECE is press or event coverage — release write-ups on EDM.com and EDMTunes, an Advocate interview about their Pride bookings, and venue takeover announcements — not audience opinion. No body of listener or show-goer reviews was accessible, so this is sample data rather than a measured consensus.
