Adam Mejia (a.k.a. Jigs a.k.a. Scissor of Loop and Scissor) has been involved in the electronic dance scene since the mid '90's. Staring off at first as an electronic enthusiast, offering to help with local promotions for bay area events Adam quickly started networking and beging to establish himself as a valued member of the electronic music community. After much research on the history of electronic dance music styles Adam started collecting records considered to be staples in the dance music community. 

In 1996 Adam started Dj'ing landing his first gig only 6 months later. Specializing in various sub genres of House and Breaks at fisrt, Adam learned the art and importance of mixing for the dancer, which later helped him with the break dancing class he began teaching. Expanding his dj styles to better match his personal taste, Adam added Old School Techno/Hardcore, Jungle/Drum & Bass, Hip-Hop, and Trip-hop to his arsenal of records. Having a collection that matches his knowledge of electronic music and abilites worthy of such a collection Adam started getting gigs and residentcies all over the nation from San Francisco to Miami, from Oregon to Colorado, and all over Ca from San Jose to Oakland, from Santa Cruz to Sacramento mixing along side industry legends such as Franky Bones, Tony Hewitt, Carlos and Melanie of SF HOuse Collective, Arturo Garces, Harry Who and Richard Summerhayes to name a few. His exposure and talents got Adam invited to be the Dj at Six Flags Marine World Vallejo for the grand introduction of "Tony Hawk's Big Spin" roller coaster. As a local favorite Adam has been invited to mix and play his music on radio stations such as 89.7, 90.1, 90.5, 103.3 fm and international radio stations like www.jungletrain.net amongst others. 

After developing a following in his home town Adam started organizing multiple weekly events in the southbay. Wanting to put more in to a night Adam joined up with other local promoters and started a serise of day events and one off eveing events. Being even more involved with the community now, Adam naturally turned his interest to the production of the music, wanting to add to yet another aspect of the community. 

With a vast range of music interest Adam started producing hip-hop/trip-hop, drum and bass/jungle, house, techno, electro and breaks. Working with various artist consisting of dj's, producer, vocalist (mc's/singers), and live bands, Adam quickly realized his love for producing and the creation of music. While constantly working on new music and seeking various artist to work expand his musical knowledge, Adam teamed up with Producer/dj Mark Sandstorm of D-fault Records, releasing "Foundation- So Fly Mix" on Acid All Star Recordings "The Party EP." under the name of "Sandstorm and Jigs" now known as Loop and Scissor, debuting the release at the 2009 WMC. In addition to producing Adam has also does remixes, with his first remix release on Frequency 8 records with "Feel the Jam".


It’s tough to say more about DJ Dan than what is most likely known by just about any dance music fan that has ever taken interest in the genre. Just take a look at what some other legends have said:

“Dan is a pivotal ingredient to live DJing and production, a real teacher to all."-DJ Sneak

"The thing I love about Dan is that he's always had a funky spirit and he always pushes the elements of music."-Carl Cox

To those who still may not know all that much on Dan, we’ll help you out from under that rock. As you can tell from just a bit of the praise from musical icons DJ Dan has received, our West Coast bred friend has been around the block a few times (and turning heads all the while). Music has been forever entrenched in Dan’s life, having garnered a superior record collection at the age of 8 that would give Amoeba Records a run for its money. Starting his professional musical career with some smaller clubs in Seattle and then Los Angeles, DJ Dan had a rise to recognition in the dance music community that could be considered meteoric. Forming the Funky Techno Tribe in 1993, DJ Dan fused together breakbeat, house, dub, and techno to create a sound that later was fittingly crowned, “West Coast House”. And with renowned tracks like “Needle Damage”, and remixes for everyone from Depeche Mode to Duck Sauce, Dan’s production prowess is undeniable. The journey that Dan’s talents have taken him on could go on for pages and pages. He has played alongside the likes of fellow legends from Carl Cox to John Digweed with a mission of making club goers unable to fight the urge to dance the night away.

And it’s not just party goers and fellow DJ’s who bow down to Dan, the press have drooled over his music. DJ Mag named DJ Dan the #1 House DJ in 2006 while Urb Magazine named him “America’s Favorite DJ” and “America’s Hardest Working DJ” while he was also DJ Time’s ‘America’s Best DJ’ 2014 Top Ten Finalist. The media has never been more accurate. But one of the proudest moments could be said when THUMP warned partygoers to ‘never fuck with DJ Dan’ much like one unfateful attdendant did this year in Baltimore to which Dan had the most powerful of responses.

Dan’s widely renowned Los Angeles based label Instereo Recordings,has further etched his name into dance music’s core. With TJR, Phunk Investigation, Wolfgang Gartner, DJ PP, DJ Sneak, Hatiras, and DJ Dan being amongst the many artists featured on the Instereo Recordings, the label is hard to ignore in the industry. Dan also has releases on Toolroom, Pacha Recordings, Ultra, Guesthouse, Work, XL Recordings, Magnetic, Rising, and many others. 

In 2014 Dan shows no signs of slowing down. His EDC set was rated as one of the best sets of the weekend by DJOYBEAT.com as well as Magnetic Mag. Similar buzz had Insomniac President/ CEO Pasquale Rotella chiming in:

"We go back since the early 90′s and he DJ’d some of my first warehouse parties. He’s an LA underground staple and music legend.”

And if that wasn’t enough, in the recent major dance music poll ‘America’s Best DJ’, DJ Dan clocked in at #9 in a extremely competitive field; beating out some of the largest names in electronic music.

As this dance music world continues to evolve, it is safe to say that DJ Dan will continue to be one of its strongest voices and most powerful influencers.

As the first waves of techno and electronica crashed on the shores of America, Dutch was plugging his headphones in. Dutch Star learned to DJ from California disco legend Mark Fahey in 1989. With inspiration from DJ Dan in 1990, Dutch Star broke completely away from the mainstream and began throwing parties in San Francisco with members of the legendary Rave Called Sharon. His first events were under the name BREAK INC., completely underground warehouse events in San Francisco. Over the course of the next decade, Dutch Star was one of the most influential Djs of early San Francisco Rave culture. He was influenced by both acid house music and the harder industrial & techno sounds coming from Detroit and Europe. The combination of his love for various styles of music and smooth mixing skills, quickly propelled is bookings across America.

In 1993, Dutch created the AREA 51 events in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Attendance at his rave events topped over 15,000. It was these events that allowed him the freedom to be more creative with not only his music, but also the entire dance floor environment. Creating each event theme and also performing the parties allowed Dutch to create the perfect environment for the music he truly wanted his audience to hear and an experience to match. The new sounds of the underground were breaking around the world and Dutch became the lens that focused this new sound on San Francisco bringing in performers like Josh Wink, Joey Beltram, Laidback Luke among others.

Around 1996-97 the psy-trance sound was being discovered around the world, exported from the trance parties on the beach in Goa India. Interested in the new trance sound, Dutch began to seed this sound into each set. In 1999 while championing this new sound, Dutch joined with Mason Rothert, Jim Seagel, Brian McDonald and Brian Dobson in creating Thump Radio and the infamous (((THUMP))) parties. It wasn't long before his (((Thump))) Parties were legend. Artists like Infected Mushroom, Hallucinogen, GMS, Atmos, Vibrasphere, Ticon, Sun Project and Astral Projection, who had never performed in America, were welcomed on the (((Thump))) dance floor. (((THUMP))) soon became an important journey to North America for many trance artists and eventually paved the way for this new trance sound across the Americas.

Since 2005 until recently, Dutch was instrumental in the creation of the Opulent Temple Burning Man camp. He is now full swing into the development of the newest Burning Man Sound Camp called White Ocean. While trance remains close to his heart, his music has transformed toward a more minimal techno feel. His dance floor DJ sets average 124-132 BPM and are comprised of exceptional forms of techno & tech house. Melodic undertones coupled with hypnotic bass lines quickly distort time and space until the next thing you know, his set is over. Enjoy!

"Call It Techno" was the blueprint track which was written on June 4, 1989.  It was at the forefront of European Rave Culture and became a well known track in the U.K. & Germany.  The documentary "We Call It Techno" explains it right from the beginning and from that came the second & third Love Parade themes being named "The Future Is Ours" off the XL/Citibeat LP by Musto & Bones.  And "My House Is Your House" from the Break Boys which was Frankie Bones aka on Fourth Floor Records in 1990.

Frankie became the American Pioneer of Rave Culture on both coasts in 1990, playing Techno as a movement.  The Peace, Love, Unity Movement which in 1993 became PLUR after a fight broke out at an event in The Bronx which had Richie Hawtin as it's headliner.

And the rest is history.  If words can paint the picture here, the first 5 Soundcloud links will describe a DJ who has a journey of a lifetime & still is active in 2024.  The music that comes from the heart & soul of the Brooklyn Underground.

"Mixes are time capsules of sound.  Each capturing a moment in time that will not be repeated the same way.  Each mix is meant to transport the listener in their own time machine to their own destination.  These are soundtracks for daily living..."
