JASON JINX
You can't make music if you don't love it. And you can't make great dance music if you don't love to dance. Even with a well established DJ, production and remix career that keeps Jason Jinx more than busy, you'll still see him out taking in new music and working the dance floor. His first residency was for a night called NASA at NY’s legendary Shelter Club. He then went on to hold residencies at the Tunnel, Limelight, Paladium, and Twilo to name a few. Over 60 singles and 40 remixes have come out of Jinx’ studio for labels like Defected, Yoshitoshi, Tool Room, Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, Eightball, and Ovum. Jinx describes his style as ‘New School Old School’ — employing new production techniques but ‘trying to keep the feeling of the classics I grew up on and loved’ — New York, vocal house anthems. His focus now is on producing his own remixes of his favorite tracks, which you can hear only in his live DJ sets and his soundtracks to fashion shows, such as San Francisco’s own, Nice Collective. Whether producing an original track, remixing someone else’s or DJing to a packed floor, Jason Jinx has an instinctive feel for what is fun, and what the dance floor will respond to.

DABECY
SF Bay Area native, Darren M. Cutlip (dabecy) began creating avant-garde music and sound art in 1987, at the age of 16. Influenced and inspired by acts such as Cabaret Voltaire, Kraftwerk, Coil, Throbbing Gristle and Nurse With Wound, Darren began self-releasing his recordings on cassette. Later, backed by legendary SF noise pioneer Elden M, who is most noted for his Allegory Chapel releases, Darren won acclaim for several successful releases. Prized as much for the sophisticated music and atmospheres as for the unique and creative packaging of his releases, Darren soon found himself sharing an audience with seminal noise act The Haters. He signed with Flask Records in 1993 and his first full-length release, “Logarithmic”. produced by electronic composer Kim Cascone under the moniker Dreams Without Number, landed in the Top 10 on London’s KISS FM ambient chart. Throughout the 90‘s Darren became a fixture at many underground raves and parties in the Bay Area. In 1999 Darren released “Autacoid” on Solid Grooves Records. More recently Darren has created the popular ELECTRONIC MUSIC BEARS (EMB) Facebook group and podcast. EMB features DJ talent from around the world, and strives to represent the full spectrum of electronic music. EMB also maintains a weekly event calendar highlighting SF Bay Area electronic club/music events. WWW.DABECY.COM
