If you have been fortunate enough to hear Jon Keating DJ live, you know what to expect: a unique style and sound filled with energy that always leaves the crowd wanting more.  If not, you’re missing out on one of the most talented DJs you have yet to hear.  Simply put he’s a DJ’s DJ.

For close to 20 years Jon has brought his distinct sound up and down the east coast from New York City to Miami and everywhere in between.  From his early years as an up and coming talent in the Gainesville and Orlando scene to nearly a decade of consistently well-received shows in Atlanta, Jon has solidified himself as one of the top DJs in the southeast.

Working his way up from house parties and the bottom slots of large shows, Jon’s dedication and desire to exceed and improve eventually earned him prime DJ time slots and headlining gigs at major clubs & shows including: Fusion, Technobabble 1-3, Usuaya ’97, and ERA Fest to name a few.  Initially, Jon’s goal as a DJ was simply to have the opportunity to play one time at Simon’s (a world renown club in Florida known for bringing over top European DJs like Sasha, John Digweed, and Paul Van Dyk to America for the first time).  That goal not only become a reality, but was exceeded by being given a monthly night along with DJ partner Rob Dowell in 2002.

In 2003 Jon was brought up to Atlanta by Rob, who recently relocated to the peach state, to guest DJ one of the original Warm Art nights at Club Illusions.  That weekend was significant as not only being the catalyst for Jon’s love of the city of Atlanta, but he was then introduced to Atlanta local DJ legend, Nasir (the one who left Dave Seaman speechless after an epic opening set).  Within a year, Jon was calling Atlanta (and Nasir’s infamous basement club) home.

For the next eight plus year, Jon would prove to Atlanta and the rest of the south that he was not to be missed!  Jon was a regular in the Atlanta circuit playing numerous clubs like: The Mark Ultralounge, Lava Lounge, MidCity Café, Eleven50, Fever, Music Room, Hush, the Wired Festival in Athens, and the closing party of Crescent Room.  His annual Atlanta show collaborations with Phil K (Australia) and ATL’s Habersham always had show of the year potential.  Jon’s popularity in Atlanta would also lead to numerous Charlotte gigs, guest mixes on Georgia Tech’s WREK 91.5, and even changing things up a bit as a resident DJ at Loca Luna playing latin house and reggaeton.

The rest of Jon’s DJ resume is 2nd to none including past residencies at Simon’s (Gainesville), Aftermath (Tampa/Clearwater), AKA Lounge (Aqua Luna, Red Door – Orlando), Full Circle & The Down Lo (Gainesville), & Fever (Atlanta) and having played alongside top international DJs and acts including: Nick Warren, Phil K, Kazell, DJ Dan, Terry Mullan, Medway, Micro, Simply Jeff, George Acosta, Jimmy Van M, Uberzone, The Light, Deepsky, Cosmic Baby, and Keoki to name a few.  Now relocated back in Florida in the Tampa Bay area, Jon has opened more eyes and ears with his recent debut at Hyde Park Cafe, the premier house music club in Tampa.

Beaumont started making electronic music at a very young age. Heavily influenced by early 80's New Wave and Electrofunk. In the early 90's his focus switched to house, techno, and breaks. Music has always been Beau's main passion and love. He's had a string of successful releases with his now defunct group Stereo Underground alongside Villo and Jeffrey Organes. He also had success working with Nathianial on many tracks in the mid 00's with releases on labels such as Bedrock Records, Winds West, and Proton Music to name a very few. 

Now in 2012 and beyond Beaumont is focused only on music full time with releases on Chris Fortier's Fade Records, Funk D'Void's imprint Outpost and Psycatron's new label Inflyte Recordings..

A product of the early 90's Florida underground house music scene, Danny got his first taste of house music from attending some of the legendary nights at clubs such as Aahz @ The Beacham Theatre, The Club @ Firestones, and Simons in Gainesville. After picking up decks in early 94, Danny built a very passionate hobby of collecting and djing music for the pure enjoyment of the music and entertaining friends. Taking his passion a step further, he decided to pursue a career in the music industry. Danny attended Full Sail in Winter Park, Florida for audio engineering. Shortly after graduation, he moved to Los Angeles to start his career and hone his skills in the recording business. After establishing himself in the industry, he soon found himself working with artists such as Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Jay Z, Ludacris, LeToya Luckett, P. Diddy, Tank and more as their recording/mix engineer and/or music programmer for their live shows. 2006 garnered him a Grammy nomination for "Record of the Year" on Mary J. Blige's hit record "Be Without You", and he received multiple Grammy recognition plaques for records and albums he worked on. Currently 2011 saw him recording most of Mary J. Blige's upcoming album, and is touring the world with Eminem as his music programmer. Although supporting others in their vision has been rewarding, Danny has never forgotten his dance music roots. This year finds him once again inspired to share his love of the ever evolving electronic sound.


This page is basically a musical journal from a dedicated bedroom DJ. I began recording mixes using a Traktor controller around two years ago. While collecting a lot of techno tracks from Beatport I found began to really enjoy experimenting with different sounds and themes. 

I also collect a variety of other tunes, sometimes from friends or compilations that I like, so I often find myself mixing up some different music based on what I have been inspired by while out clubbing or raving my with my friends.  

Improvisation is a big factor in how I create a mix. After organizing tracks by key/semitone, I usually tag a few notes to each track and then start playing, nothing is tried and tested or copied, that way there are always a few rough or less than perfect mixes but the overall result is more raw and personal piece of music which has more feeling.

As for mixing with TRAKTOR, I have to say that I really love it! The looping capabilities,effects and yes the SYNC button that are available make it possible for me to pay more attention to selecting tracks and creating a mood. I honestly have no idea how to work a CDJ but did learn to mix on traditional Technics 1200's many years ago.

I could name tons of musical influences but it would probably be a redundant list of musicians and DJ's, I prefer to say that I am more inspired by certain clubs and the scenes that surround them such as Fabric, Berghain/Panorama Bar, Kater Holzig/Blau, Tresor, Endup, Public Works and the many vibrant nights put on by all the San Francisco promotors, especially Sunset Soundsystem, As You Like It, Listed, Honey Soundsystem and Stompys.

The artwork used to represent my mixes is created by myself, however the facial collages is based heavily (I basically just copied what they did) on some sleeve designs for some records I bought over 15 years ago by a label call Plasticity which still puts out music on a regular basis. I will however be featuring some of my own designs soon.
