I owe such much to the makers of the music I love. From Frankie Knuckles and the raw Chicago Ware"House" sound and Larry Levan and the legendary Paradise Garage. Those black pioneers help expand my budding love of Techno Music. I then discovered artists like Donald Glaude, Derrick Carter to Demarcus Lewis and DJ Heather. The house sound was born from black culture and given to the world as a gift to enjoy. 

Flip to the other major musical influences growing up, West Coast and East Coast Hip-Hop of the 90's. 2-Pac, Biggie, Dre, NAS, Wu-Tang, Fugees, Outkast, Snoop, Warren G + Nate Dogg, Slick Rick and countless other black artists. They spoke words from the experiences they lived every day, educating and empowering generations.

You can't just listen to house and rap all day, so you branch out. R&B, Soul, Funk, Reggae, Trap, Bass Music and more. None of this music would be here today affecting positive change in our world without the black creators, innovators and storytellers. 

What would you be listening to without black artists? We need to stand strong, stand together, get involved and be the change we want to see in this world.  #StandUp #StandTogether #Respect #Gratitude #Acknowledgement #Love #NoJusticeNoPeace

Pinealistics - Tape #02 (Redemption)

Inspired by and building community through house music for over 25 years, Dave Dluxx strives to meld his love of music with the energy he draws from those that come to dance. He’s spent years traveling far abroad and going deep in his own pacific northwest backyard to find and create a style that is all his own. His music blends deep, tech and spacey rhythms that keep the dance floor pumping. He is always seeking to create that perfect mix, weaving the soul and beats as one. 

“I can recall back in 3rd grade when I was hanging out at my friend’s house, and in his garage rested two Technics and a Radioshack mixer. These days where my first of being exposed to the culture and the energy it possesses. From that moment on, the life long journey started to map out before my eyes.” Dave started attending warehouse parties and getting involved with the culture at the age of 13. Seeing how networked and community oriented this culture was inspired Dave to look outside his box and branch out to new people and different experiences. Having access to Technic’s and positive guidance at such a young age has proven very beneficial to the growth of this aspiring artist.

In summer of 2002 Dave was asked by Gaia Tribe to join the collective, and assume a more active role with the whole production. Prior to this Dave had dedicated countless hours to the Tribe from setting up parties, to mixing music, to creating production work. After seeing his deep love and intentions, Andrew and Maté opened the doors of Gaia Tribe to Dluxx. 

From that moment on it was clear that Dave was a vital link to the success and manifestation of Gaia Tribe. “Each person’s energy is so important to the whole of a Tribe, Dave’s head and heart are in the right place. That’s why we chose him to be a larger part of GT,” says founder Andrew Mataus.

Dave has many accomplishments under his belt. In 2005 his mixing began to make him well traveled with stops at: Propaganda in Moscow, Russia, House Café and Telefunken in La Corunå, Spain and Yanks in Amsterdam. The summer of 2005 took Dave up and down the west coast, from the Tropical House LA boat party with Dj Heather, to an assortment of outdoor events ranging from the Shasta Gathering to Burning Man. The fall and winter continued to be jam packed, with gigs in Houston and Seattle Science Center shows, and many late hours in the studio.

Following his heart, Dave continued to bang out tracks and travel the world abroad. In 2009 Dave, along with Andrew Mataus took the show back on the road, with a multi stop Spanish tour, including gigs at Super Club and Telefunken. Djing is not his only passion and most often times Dave will be found hard at work in the studio. With releases on Serial Sickness, Midwest Hustle, Bridge City, Market House Meats, Cotopaxi, Amphibious and multiple tracks hitting the Stompy.com Top 100, this is just the beginning for this dedicated HOUSE MUSIC warrior. Love for the Music!
