Mz amERIKA aka MC Party Mouth was a staple on the SF House Scene from '93 to '98. Club DV8T, Club Townsend, 1015 Folsom, The Pit, a few others, but most importantly she could be found at the END UP on Sunday morning to Monday Morning. She is most known for her non-stop twirling, floor tours, confetti throwing, rainbow suspenders (90s) and tool belt (now).

 "I am building a better house on the dance floor, I have to have a place for my tools and my towel. I'm here to work this floor, you never know what tools you might need." - Mz amERIKA

Most notably you can recognize her on any dance floor, calling out to the music and creating an inclusive vibe for all the groovers. She records whatever comes out and uses it to create funky fun house lyrics with attitude. She began writing lyrics in 2005, but tucked them away. She wasn't ready. 10 years later the lyrics resurfaced and she knew it was time. She's putting all her love, light, power and wisdom into this house to create a true vibe. Keep an ear out for her new "Love Note House Music" collaborations with local and global DJs.

"I thank the Baby J for the Dj that helps me get through the crap that comes my way."


Catch her live show GRUVMNT on SugarShackRadio.com every Sunday from 5pm and 7 pm Pac / 7pm to 9pm Cen & Mex.  The Last Sunday of the month on Como se dice House? We elevate and celebrate Latin House, Latin@ DJs and those from Spain tambien. 


2018 has spurred several collaborations featuring her voice on several tracks:

"Hey, Jack" by Ray Levant, Krome Boulevard
"Me and That Floor" by Manny Acevedo, Midwest Hustle
"Smack my Pu$$y"  by Filta Freqz, Seventy Four

MUSIC IS LIFE, AND LIFE IS MUSIC

Sharing the finest sounds of house music and downtempo.

I greatly admire and respect artists and the work you do. I am not very musical personally but I have excellent ears and a burning desire to comply and share all I hear.

I listen to the cloud 6 to 7 hours per day.  Listens are archived by month in singles and sets. I like everything I hear, repost and playlist everything I love. 

Thank you for the work you do. 

"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..." - Mark Farina

Playing other peoples music for other peoples enjoyment since 1993.

Darius is a self proclaimed "House Addict".  He fell in love with the house sound as a teenager living in Montreal back in the early '90s when he would stay up late on Friday nights and record a dance mix show on Montreal radio.  He was hooked from then on.  He then proceeded to start mixing with one tape deck and a CD player and never looked back.  

When he moved to Vancouver in the late '90's, he started buying records almost daily and spent most of his free time at his favourite record stores at the time, Bassix and Mekanix records.  Over the next few years, Darius held various residencies and ran 2 club nights in Vancouver, playing alongside such talent as Lawnchair Generals and Johnny Fiasco, as well as playing at numerous after hours and raves.   After getting tired of both the late nights and politics in the scene, he decided it was time to hang up the headphones in the early 2000s, but the love of house music still burned inside of him as the years passed. 

In 2013 he decided he wanted to get back into DJ'ing and purchased a basic Pioneer controller and started to collect digital tracks again.  Over the past few years Darius has been busy making a name for himself in the underground scene with numerous guest mix appearances around the world on such labels as House Salad, Reason2Funk, Uglyhouse, Little Routine, Selecta Music, Leven Underground and House Jet Radio just to name a few.  He also started the very popular "SPEED BUMPS" mix series which showcases his love for hip hop and jazz as he shows his versatility as a DJ by blending mixes of nu jazz, hip hop instrumentals and acid jazz flavours reminiscent of Mark Farina's legendary series, Mushroom Jazz. 

He also launched the hugely successful "Soul Room Sessions" podcast showcasing the soulful and jazzy side of house music and downtempo beats with guest mixes from some of the biggest names in the game and the series is still going strong!

In 2017 Darius got his first taste of out of town gigging playing live shows all over the West Coast from his hometown in Vancouver, to San Francisco and Oakland.  Stay tuned for much more from him in the near future!
