John Pabulum has been in love with Acid House from the moment it graced his ears in 1989. It was a struggle to find the elusive genre until he went to his first rave parties in 1991... this became the catalyst for him to share his love for both by getting as involved as possible! As a dj for the underground scene, his first gig was in 1995 at the legendary “old” World Beat Center in San Diego, California.

Since then, he has become the underground's
best kept secret. He has made people happy on the dance floor around the world alongside local and international legends including: Mark Quark, Doc Martin, DJ Dan, Mark Farina, Juan Atkins, Tony Humphries, Chemical Brothers, Paul Johnson, Mark Grant, Brett Johnson, Roy Davis Jr, Markus Nikolai, Halo, Hipp-E, Pezzner, Miles Maeda, Dmitri of Deee-Lite ...the list goes on. 

John moved to Rome, Italy, in the year 2000 and held residencies in some of the capital's best clubs, including Goa, Akab, and SupperClub. In 2017, he moved back to his beloved San Diego, reconnecting with the dancefloor, bringing out some old fans and creating new ones. He has also been throwing some of San Diego's most memorable events since he revived Mindfruit in 2018! 

The pandemic called for a shift in the way DJs performed. As a dj, John was asked to feature on a plethora of international shows supporting names like Jesse Saunders, Fred Everything, DJ Mes, Alexander East, JT Donaldson, and many others. Mindfruit also had some of the most recognized names in the business featured on their show: Paul Johnson, Lil Mark, Demuir, Mark Grant, Pezzner, Diz, Hector Moralez, and many others!
 
Post pandemic: Shows booked in Mexico, Italy, Germany, and throughout the US. Mindfruit is on a hiatus so as to come back in a way that is a twist to the norm.

Andy's passion for curating exceptional experiences led him to organise his own events.

Just a old skool fool who loves to spin and produce beats of all sorts.. PEACE

2 Block Radius-Nicole Mason, Tee Cardaci, and Tom Cloutman (aka Schnezzy)-keep the spirit of San Francisco alive. 2 Block Radius is the sound of a waterfront party at sunset, the smell of old vinyl and warm skin, or the feel of a hoodiepulled tight against an incoming fogbank. Like the city itself, the music is an appealing mass of contradictions: laidback yet sultry, accessible yet subversive.
Nick, Tee, and Schnezzy are fixtures in the SF dance-music scene. As residents of the long-running party Low Down Grooves, they ruled the booth at legendary DJ bar The Top from 1999 through 2004. Those Wednesday nights were an intimate forum to play for true heads, close friends, and the occasional random street personalities (including one regular drifter who sometimes wandered in to accompany their DJ sets on his accordion). Drawing from those fond times, 2 Block Radius formed as a proper studio production team in 2000, when they released their first album, Crossed Wires, on their eponymous imprint, 2 Block Radius Recordings. Picking up cues from jazz, hip-hop, dub, and the street sounds that surround them, 2 Block Radius create downtempo and house that layers soulful vocal murmurs over lacquered breaks and chunky bass lines. Rhythms sway ever so slightly, from lightly energized to lackadaisical, but maintain that warm, syncopated tempo that epitomizes the classic SF sound.
In addition to releasing two more albums via their own label, 2 Block Radius have appeared on OM Records (”You Can’t Have Your Cake,” OM Lounge, Vol. 8, 2004) and Clean Recordings (”Woowah Hustle,” Clean Recordings Sampler, 2003). In 2004, 2 Block Radius produced the compilation 6 Blocks Deep, a showcase of local talent including E.T.I., Audio Angel, and PacificSound’s Galen and Omar. Nowadays, the members of 2 Block Radius are scattered across the globe-Tee resides in Brazil and Nick has returned to the UK, while Schnezzy still calls California home. Their sound, however, remains rooted in a two-block radius, somewhere, no doubt, at the corner of Haight Street and Fillmore.


         I discovered the underground house/techno music scene in the City of Angels in 1989. I was a mere 14 years old and could never have imagined how profoundly the music and parties would shape me, or that it would eventually inspire my dissertation research. Nothing feels more like home than a room full of sweat-drenched bodies being moved by house music, as we celebrate life together with uninhibited smiles and knowing glances. I'm eternally grateful to have found this sacred space at such a young age. 

       I'm interested in the innately healing role of dance/movement in psychedelic journeying, and in ceremonial, ritual dance, which human beings have depended on for survival across time and culture, and still do today.  Would love to talk to you if you share my interests.

                    
We – Build - This – House


Simon became Stumblie in 'the embers of the 20thC, after 1st attempting 'Cardancing'in 1994; that was then, this is now however & the whole Nu-Millenium, is rushing ahead, like a steam train & already it is  2013 .Herewith a Mega Selection of Reggae.Techno,good New Deep House & House & touch of D&B  music, which I came about & have been listening to since becoming 'Stumblie'.

Well 1994 saw the end of regular Free Site or Squat Partys, with the 'Criminal Justice Bill for 1994 outlawing these partys, by preventing unaothorised gatherings with music of any kind. The Nu-Millenium saw SpiralTribe, taking their act to Australia, where with so much country, they could find places to Party without annoying people. The opening of the Nu-Century saw the arrival of deephouse & the constant forward movement of this thing, from its Underground inception in the 1980s, seeing the once purely party based beginning, develop with the Nu-Millenium into the musc U have  in front of you. This music stretches from  Australia, Melbourne to the Russian federation inc. St Petersburg, then continueing west, through Berlin & the now Unified Gemany, keeping on through to Manchester & London there being both 'Homes' for House music/the Sound of the Underground  & through the British Isles & Scotland, where acts such as 'Slam' came out of Glasgow '100Years' ago & still move on into the Nu-Millenium, along with acts such as Julius Funkhouser; then we carry on West to the  East coast U.S, where amongst others, Q-BurnsAbstract Message is from Orlando, Florida ,Joey Beltram, came out of New  York making a real 'mark with his 'ENERGY FLASH, just in time to collide with the 'fledgling' 'Rave' scene in the U.K, across the country to  Canada, with their Igloofest & down the West Coast, U.S to San\Francisco & California, where they have successfully produced their own take on Underground dance music,  with the Hardkiss 'brothers'in the 20thC & 21stC & Buckner &  the RocketCollective hailing from SanFrancisco, amongst many others, coming to prominence in the Nu-Millenium in the U.S & Canada. This Nu-Millenium has seen the Underground music, move towards what has become known as Deephouse, with notable exponents such, Kevin Griffiths & 'Tsuba, from London & 'Moodymanc, Manchester (suprisingly!) and various other players U will hear over these following pages of musicians, taking this breakbeat, we have into its next future metamorphisis.'Nightmares in Wax' & other such music, would  fall into being calling wot became known as 'Triphop' & fell always  far ahead of their time, firstly their use in a lot of the early Rave tracks & then movement into melodic Synth/Strings/SweetVocal/Rap combination then & being able to trace their rootz back to the 1970/80s. In later years they were innovators of the 'new' Triphop sound/genre
