J-KIND is a San Francisco–based DJ/Producer with a fierce love for techno and a deep-rooted passion for creating unforgettable sonic experiences. Known for his eclectic and genre-bending style, J-KIND’s sets move effortlessly between worlds—from deep, hypnotic grooves to funky house rhythms, Afro house, amapiano, tech house, and all the way to peak-time hard techno. He even steps into the ceremonial and expressive realm of Ecstatic Dance, proving his versatility and commitment to connecting with dancers on every level. No matter the setting, his selections create an emotional pull that takes listeners on a journey until their bodies are fully surrendered to the rhythm.

Classically trained on piano, J-KIND blends the structure and emotion of classical composition with the raw intensity of funk, the warmth of soul, the punch of metal, and the narrative flair of hip hop. This fusion shapes a signature aesthetic—unpredictable yet cohesive, refined yet rebellious.

Drawing heavy inspiration from 90s legends like Sven Väth, Daniel Bell, Terry Francis, Richie Hawtin, and Mark Farina, J-KIND has been a staple in the underground scene since 2001. He cut his teeth in the Bay Area rave circuit, rocking dance floors from San Francisco to Europe, and built a reputation through residencies at iconic SF venues including Temple, Bad Habits (now Monroe), Bubble Lounge, and his long-running role with Burning Man’s Airpusher Collective.

More recently, J-KIND has been spending considerable time in Da Nang, Vietnam, immersing himself in the country’s emerging electronic music culture. He’s become a familiar name at standout venues such as SAGA, Maia Beach Bar, and The Roof, where he brings his cross-genre sound to diverse audiences along the coast. His creative expansion in Vietnam also includes collaborations with local and international artists—including Bytz—further fueling his mission of bringing great music to people everywhere.

Now holding a monthly residency at Ibiza Stardust Radio, J-KIND continues to blend the old and the new, whether spinning vinyl or crafting journeys on CDJs. To him, DJing is pure art—an alchemy of energy, intuition, and storytelling that transforms two tracks into something entirely its own.

His production journey reached an early milestone with his debut EP Beautiful Life on Mioli Music in 2015, followed by the acclaimed single Change of Tides. As co-founder of Yes! Records, his 2023 release Boundaries EP—with remixes from Emanate and Franccessco Cardenas—cemented his presence in the global techno landscape.

Catch him live and you’ll understand: J-KIND is more than a DJ. He’s a vibe, an energy, and a force. When he’s behind the decks, it’s not just a party—it’s an experience.

Born in Switzerland, MAQman (pronounce mack-man) started music playing the keys with live bands. His production influence derives mainly from black music classics, which MAQman is collecting and playing since 1999. After joint outings on various Soul compilations with down- and mid tempo tracks, he soon focused on House Music and it was inevitable that his musical path had to cross with Germany’s flagship Deep House label GOGO Music in 2011, where he had 8 Single releases until now. He also signed numerous songs on labels such as Makin' Moves, Tony Records and more. He relocated to his homeland Vietnam, where he continues to work with well chosen musicians, which help him to ensure that his sound stays organic and rich at any time. Adding on his gigs schedule as an appreciated DJ in the underground community, MAQman is also a monthly resident on the GOGO Music Radio Show, which is broadcasted by more than 45 FM- and internet-stations around the globe! This residency brought him the opportunity in June 2019 to be invited on a South African 5 day dj tour, where he played in Johannesburg, Durban and Captown.

It was 1980 in Detroit Michigan where I first fell in Love with this Music. I was 13 years old and the Music of Choice for Me and my Friends was Progressive Dance Music. We didn't know it at the time but We were actually creating a Musical Lifestyle of sorts that would follow many of us the rest of our lives.

Sure there would be periods when no music was bought and no new mixes were produced, but time would go by and before you knew it This Music Thing would just Grab hold to Me again...

In 2012 My Musical Journey started again! This dance music would prompt me to start mixing on the web via my YouTube Channel with over 45K followers, and Soundcloud with over 5K and counting... This music would even take me around the U.S and as far away as Beijing China to DJ (Twice). I'm  really excited now more than ever because I am are currently living in Miami and DJing at my residency at N'Namdi Contemporary Gallery.

St. Xose is a shapeshifter. Born in Colombia, forged in the afterhours of New York City, and
now rooted in Minnesota, he moves through sound with the discipline of a crate-digger and
the instinct of a futurist. From sacred sets at Cielo, The Panther Room, and Flash D.C., to
the sweaty basements and vinyl sanctuaries that defined a generation, he’s carved out a
lane that defies trend and timeline.
A producer, selector, and sonic architect, his sound is a raw, pulsating blend of house,
techno, and electro—driven by Latin rhythm and analog heat. With releases on his own
Inregistrari
_
Interplanetare (BCN), Brooklyn Sway, and as an A&R for Cutline Records, St.
Xose is both curator and creator, never far from the decks or the boards.
In a world obsessed with algorithms, St. Xose is analog on purpose. His sets are
sermons—long-form, vinyl-rooted, spiritually charged. He’s not playing for the ‘Gram; he’s
playing for the heads who close their eyes and lose time at 6AM.
Now in Minneapolis, he co-leads Plush MPLS—an inclusive, future-forward music and art
concept channeling both underground ethos and radical community. For St. Xose, it’s not
just about sound—it’s about space: who gets in, who gets heard, and how it all feels when
the lights are low
This isn’t nostalgia. This is now. And St. Xose is already playing what’s next.
