Chris has enjoyed DJing around the San Francisco Bay Area over the past 5 years. In 2012 she became the resident DJ and musical director at Aloft Hotel SFO.

I JUST WANT TO GET AWAY

Change Ya Life (Germain House Remix)

Vulcan has been an enthusiastic and primal DJ force on the electronic music scene for over a decade now, and it all started with his first time at Burning Man in 2011. He was immediately hooked and first developed his skills spinning at smaller events on the West Coast, before working up to massive crowds at Burning Man and San Francisco street faires. Vulcan loves to play high-energy pumping music that gets people moving on the dance floor. His choice of music is Psytrance, Techno, Tech House, Bass House - with a driving beat that will get people on their feet and ready to dance! 

He's opened and closed for some of the biggest names in the DJing world, such as Christopher Lawrence, Infected Mushroom, Josh Wink, and many more, playing some of the biggest events in and around the Burning Man music community.  Serenity Festival, Sparks, How Weird, Burning Man Decompression and more. When Vulcan is not behind the decks, you can find him working as a civil engineer for a construction company during his day job. But his true soul passion lies in making people dance late into the night.

Vulcan has worked tirelessly for years to earn the title of Resident DJ and Core Member with Opulent Temple. His residency at Opulent Temple has helped him develop a strong and loyal following among the most discerning party-goers, and he is proud to be an important member of that community. He brings not only a lot of energy to the stage, but also helps throw some of the best parties around. More importantly, he is a key player in Burning Man culture - his contributions have helped make it vibrant because of the top quality events he is involved with, in and around California. He takes zero shortcuts in his passion for music and commitment to his contributions, and every dancer in the audience can feel the difference!
