Edgar Um Bucholtz is a DJ, multi-media artist, event producer and improvising musician living in Pittsburgh, PA.

He is the co-founder and co-resident (with DJ Dad Time!) of Pgh Bro Club, a monthly trash pop, anything goes, changing-theme dance party at the Brillobox in Pittsburgh.

Since its inception in 2010, he has served as a general advisor and music curator for the internationally-acclaimed annual VIA Music & New Media Festival in Pittsburgh.

He was a full-time music and event curator and resident DJ for The Andy Warhol Museum from 1999-2004. He has served as an events consultant for the last four Carnegie Internationals (1999-2000, 2004-2005, 2008, 2013-2014) at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.

He started collecting vinyl records and playing records at parties while in high school in rural southwestern Ohio. While an undergraduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, he was a DJ on WRCT FM (and for a few years after.) He credits WRCT's record library and many of his fellow WRCT DJ comrades with giving him as much or more important information as his professors at CMU. In addition to DJing at WRCT, he produced a long-running weekly live experimental improvised radio show called "Radio For The People" in collaboration with fellow CMU technology-focused art students as well as with bands and noise musicians from Pittsburgh. He also produced a weekly critical and cultural theory radio show called "Inside The Beast: Theory In Transmission" in collaboration with professor Camilla Griggers and graduate students in the CMU English Department.

Edgar Um Bucholtz makes sounds in Fuck Telecorps, a long-running electro-acoustic improvised experimental sound/performance project, and in an occasional power-electronics noise project called Cock Scene Investigator.

Edgar Um Bucholtz is a freelance curator of art and music events in Pittsburgh, PA.
