He cut his teeth alongside ESDJCO founder Sam Staton aka Dj Samo (R.I.P.) creating Planet Groove Productions in 1989 that launched them into throwing parties, learning how to plug in a sound system and DJ a crowd.

Scotch (R.I.P.), Dj Kazzeo’s Record Pool, Dj Jason D at KZSC, and The World Famous Wake Up Show with Sway, King Tech and Dj Revolution.

During the pandemic lock-down he turned to Twitch for an occasional appearance including a closing set for LDP's 3 Day Non-Stop NYE 20-21 celebration. Following the gradual re-opening of society, Dave’s DJ schedule has gained momentum playing out with more frequency and demand through 2022 with appearances at The Great Northern, UNSCRUZ Festival, Mars Bar, The Brookdale Lodge and Moe's Alley to name a few.

The Saga Continues…

"DFUNKT is so talented...he can entertain anyone and everyone anytime. He's the Michael Phelps on turntables. A truly under rated artist. An opportunity to see him perform is worth ten times the price of admission. Truly one of the SF Bay Area Best."

- RAMSEY TERAZI (2008)
(Manager at Club ECCO San Jose, House for the Homeless Founder)

"I thought I was an earnest DJ , until I met Dfunkt. His ability to cross genres and tell stories while keeping the groove is unmatched. My favorite Dfunkt moment is having a conversation with him at Wish while he spun. he was cracking me up, telling me stories about the old days of DJing in the Bay Area. I'd say the conversation lasted about a half an hour during which he spun a perfect set with out even blinking or saying "hang on a sec".

For an ass-shakin, hip-hoppin groove droppin time, call 1-900-4-DFUNKT ($4.95 per minute, if under 18 must have parents permission to call)."

- TAL M KLEIN (2004)
(DJ/Producer/Author)

"Caught your set on Basscamp Live and I have to say that was tidy! I loved the fantastic balance of funk, breaks, bass....with a ton of nasty samples which had me reeling the dome, trying to figure the origin of many. Super smooth. Thanks!"

Began Djing in THE EXTRA STRENGTH DISC JOCKY FAMILY in 1999.  STEPed up TO the Thrown and met & developed an everlasting love on first sight for THE QUEEN BEE. MARCHED BESIDE HER DOWN SO MANY A ROAD AND STAND BY HER NOW. First began promoting with the dearly Beloved and departed who Rose in Power, Shane Shane. 550 BARNAVELD, 177 TOWNSEND, The EndUp, DIVAS, 1015 Folsom, Le Freak, we JET SET, SpunDay’s, SECOND SUNDAY! All Damn Summer Long with AfterParty, Wicked Crew with Markie, Jeno & Garth, Tea Dance, to name but a few. I Thru under and aboveground parties/raves and worked for the Legendary “FOOTWORKS PROMOTIONS,” TEAM WITH Chief Executive Officer & FOUNDER: SIR JAMES WILLIAM’s A.K.A. The One & Only “Sharon Needles,” Shame, Mr. Aaron Robert Coady. RU SHOULD HAVE FIRED HAUH.
JAMES/SHARON WAS AN ORIGINAL PARTy MONSTER who RAGED VEHEMENTLY AND SURVIVED Deep UnderGound…, while making appearances all over the Country and GLOBE, with the SCENE’s Global Capital now as a MEMORIAL-TESTAMENT-MONUMENT-LAGACY AND NATIONAL FORREST to the JACOBITE CAUSE AND ULTIMATE SUCCESS at My Newly ESTABLISHED Duchy OF YORK, (dated; September 12 & 13, 2023 Signed Sir Jesse M.B.H. HughesMacArthur; K.G.; Duke of YORK; etc., etc.), 
I often thought of James as what He/She Was… to me. My own personal James Saint James. SAINT JAMES WAS AN ORIGINAL PARTy MONTER Deep UnderGound,,, COLLABORATING WITH THE  LIKES OF SUPERSTAR DJ KEOKI, RU PAUL, JAMES SAINT JAMES, if he wasn’t him (still not sure😊,) Rose In Power: Andre "Angel" Melendez and (like so many we have lost too soon,) BUBBLES. WE WILL ALL MEET AGAIN. I KNOW THIS. AND THEY ALL ARE IN EVERY BEAT WITH US. HEAR ME: ALL YOUR ANCESTORS AND LOVED ONES STAND BEHIND, BESIDE, AND BEFORE YOU SIMULTANEOUSLY INFINITLY AND FOR ALWAYS. THEY GUIDE, LOVE, SURROUND, INSPIRE, AND CHEER YOU FORWARD. “GO FORTH AND LOVINGLY CONQOUR,” I Say. Carpe Diem, “Seize the Day,” The Wise say. Globally with its capital at THE DUCHY OF YORK, which was established while simultaneously, exponentially and perhaps obligatory due to the nature of what we did as a culture. 
We pulled together not only as an era but also a vibe and THE MOVEMENT that carried not only the power and intensity of THE 60’s REVOLUTION, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!! but also its customs, literature, musical influences, philosophies, etc.. And also a continuity in solidarity, and community against immeasurable odds., COUNTER INTEL PRO, M. K. Ultra, INCESSANT INFILLTRATIONS, etc.  WE BRIDGED THE GENERATIONAL GAP AND NOW CAN SPEAK TO ANY AND ALL FROM THE NEWEST BORN TO OUR ELDEST OF ELD. 
Additionally, we carried also the Spirit, of INFINITY, ETERNITY, SOURCE CREATOR INTO THIS EVERLASTING PRESENT OF NOW...But it wasn’t just the constant and ever present GLOBAL MOVEMENT FOR SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, & ECONOMIC JUSTICE FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD OF THE GLOBE for HUMAN PROGRESS THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT IN ANY SOCIETY. 
BUT FURTHER WE SEEK HUMAN & CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS BASED ON THE PRMISE THAT ALL MEN & WOMEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, ENDOWED WITH INALIEABLE RIGHTS. WE ARE CONTUNITY OF AN EVER PRESENT REALITY of INFINITY, ETERNITY, SOURCE CREATOR. All things are Atoms, Atoms are just Energy, Energy Never Dies It JUST TRANSFERS FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER THEREFORE WE ALL ARE A PART OF AN IMMORTAL BEING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN CREATED AND WILL NEVER NOT EXISTS.  THERE IS ONLY A ONE THING… ITS A NO THING… ITS CALLED THIS MOMENT AND IT LAST FOREVER… SO ENJOY IT. 
A PART OF OUR LEGACY AND IMPACT WITH ITS INCULCATIONS THROUGH THE SEVENTIES WE HIBERNATED IN PLACES AROUND THE WORLD EXEMPLIFIED BY BOTH THE ABOVE AND UNDERGROUND SCENE THAT WAS STUDIO 54. We are The Legacy in part of Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, and all those (Rock=Earth Stars, “Be Humble for You are Made of Earth, Be Noble for You are Made of Stars,” -Serbian Proverb,) who collectively danced and sang while everyone and no one watched at the same time. CAMERA’s READY PREPARE THE FLASH… AND WORK. 
Studio 54 a Broadway theater and a former disco nightclub Operated by the Roundabout Theatre Company, Studio 54 has 1,006 seats on two levels. The theater was designed by Eugene De Rosa for producer Fortune Gallo and opened in 1927 as the Gallo Opera House. The current Broadway theater is named after the nightclub founded by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager which operated within the theater's space in the late 1970s and the 1980s.
With the help and knowledgeable influence of disco promoter Billy Amato (Smith), executive vice president 20th Century-Fox Records, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager were introduced to the dance and disco market in early 1975 by John Addison of La Jardin. Rubell and Schrager opened two clubs, one in Boston with John Addison from La Jardin, the other, called The Enchanted Garden, in Queens in 1975, which later became Douglaston Manor. In April 1977, they opened Studio 54 in the old CBS Studio on West 54th Street that the network was selling. Rubell became a familiar face in front of the building, turning people away and only allowing entry to those who met his pedantic standards. Rubell also dealt with the club's celebrity patrons, ensuring that they were thrown lavish parties. His approach worked and the club made $7 million during its first year.
On December 14, 1978, Studio 54 was raided after Rubell was quoted as saying that only the Mafia made more money than the club brought in. In June 1979, Rubell and Schrager were charged with tax evasion, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy for reportedly skimming nearly $2.5 million in unreported income from the club's receipts, in a system Rubell called "cash-in, cash-out and skim." Police reports state that cash and receipts were in the building and were hidden in the ceiling sections of Rubell's office, where both he and Schrager worked. 
A second raid occurred in December 1979. The pair hired Roy Cohn to defend them, but on January 18, 1980, they were sentenced to three and a half years in prison and a $20,000 fine each for the tax evasion charge. On February 4, 1980, Rubell and Schrager went to prison and Studio 54 was sold to Mark Fleischman in November of that year for $4.75 million. On April 17, 1981, Rubell and Schrager were released from prison after which they lived at a halfway house for two and a half months. In 1985, Rubell, who was closeted for most of his life, discovered he had contracted HIV, which later progressed to AIDS. Steve passed July 25, 1989.
BY THE EIGHTIES THE STUDIO FIFTY FOURS, PARTY MONSTERS AND THE LIKE HAD TRANSPORTED US FROM THE SIXTIES TO GENERATION Y & Z AKA MILLENIALS, Through Above & UnderGround Venues we have shined forth from Clubs, To Raves, Festivals and the likes all over the world.

GEN Y & Z ARE THE UP-N COMERS OF TODAY’s GLOBAL DANCE MUSIC SCENE. WE ARE THE 100%, WE ARE EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE. YOU CAN NOT KILL AN IDEA.

OUR SPECIES HAS BEEN HERE FOR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS, LONGER EVOLVING. AND WE ARE AGAIN. TO THE SYSTEM, YOUR TIME HAS COME TO AN END. Utter Failure, 

They’ve literally turned the entire planet into a prison (albeit a luxurious one for the few). This prison has a verity of levels, with varying degrees of comfort and status: level ones, level twos, level threes with intended borders, privileges, surveillances, and consequences. The Congressional- Media-Military-Pharmaceutical-Prison-Industrial Complex with its incessant and perpetual propaganda, lies, deception, deceit, miseducation, etc. etc. It’s leading the masses to the slaughter, killing millions world over from what seem like so many separate things but are in fact not. 

Hunger and thirst 💦 are man made. There is enough for everyone. 
There are more than enough homes (and space) for all to have comfortable homes. 
War is a choice. 
Everyone either knows or should know that CoVid was made in a lab. Meaning man made. Meaning biological warfare. Even my 87 year old conservative GrandMother knows that! 
Everyone knows the climate is changing and it is happening because those running the show are making it. It happens with all their bombs being dropped, industrial agriculture, oil and gas extraction and burning, etc., etc., planet over and The Elite don’t care and potentially want millions to die!

A car is only as good as it’s engine. Government is supposed to be the engine. The body and the wheels are the people, can’t go nowhere without the body, the wheels and never without We The People! The parts of the car are the so many other aspects of culture and civilization: medicine, education, religion, etc. The past empire, the real or imagined American 🇺🇸 empire is dead. I strip you of any Imperial title. 

You are not an Empire. An Empire is only as good as its people. And the people of the world are good. Some more evidently than others. Aristotle said something along the lines of Good Government Creates, Good Citizens. While Good Citizens Create Better Government. So we are constantly evolving, getting better as we have been leap frogging through time and space as a species for many a millions of years. We are evolving yet again. Google: “Homo Spiritualis”

The Global Elite: THE TRANSNATIONAL CRIMINAL CARTELS: (SLAVEHOLDERS AND TRADERS, SEX, MERCENNARY ARMIES (With, VIOLATIONS OF the Posse Comitatus Act) DRUGSMUGGLING, GANGS, INSIDER TRADING AND OTHER WHITE-COLLAR CRIMES, and ARMS MANUFACTURE AND SALES TO THE ENEMIES of HUMANITY OF THE PEOPLE OF MY NEW EARTH CIVILIZATION), and are Tyrants & Cult of personality leaders. YOU ARE COMMITTING: CRIMES AGAINT HUMANITY, WAR CRIMES & GENOCIDE> THIS IS YOUR ONE AND ONLY CEASE AND DESIST. IF YOU COME CLEAN OF YOUR OWN CONSCIOUS THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED. 

Your organization it is fake, artificial, built on faulty foundations. It will not last. It is my hope that we get to The New Earth 🌍 Civilization that is coming one way or another, sooner rather than latter. -✨“Be the change you want to see in the world 🌎 “”They said it was impossible… until it was done ✅

SYSTEM CRASH. Time for the trash to take itself out. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THE SYSTEM DOES, THERE IS NO WHERE YOU CAN GO OR HIDE. WE ARE IMMORTAL AND YOU LIVE INSIDE US, THE COLLECTIVE ALL or The Collective Consciousness what Aristotle referred to as The UnMoved Mover.  Evil exists to show us the worst of ourselves and can only persists “When Good Men do Nothing.”
“I have seen enough to know that I have seen too much,” Quote from the CULT CLASSIC FILM, “A League of their own with my Cuzin Tom Hanks and the One, The Only & FABOO Madonna Louise, who was born to Catholic parents. AS FOR THE SYSTEM… Let it be finished. SO IT IS SO. Now is the end {{{I let you go in peace and all energies sent to me be returned by the power of 3 X3,}}}. THERE IS A LAW AND THAT IS THE LAW OF HOUSE,,, A Soul Thing,,, A Body Thing,,, We Are Eternal. We only ask one societal rule. “Do As You Will, but Harm None.” & I ENCOURAGE ALL TO ABIDE BY THE ROYAL LAW: Love: CREATOR, Self & NEIGHBOR, in that order.

~’~PLEASE SEE MOVIE "PARTY MONSTER" STARRING Chloë Sevigny AND MCCCULLY CULKIN. As well as “GROOVE,” Chloë also starred in “BIG LOVE,” ON SHOWTIME,,, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. My 4th Great GrandFather is Joseph Smith FOUNDER, 1st PROPHET, KING, & PRESIDENT OF THE LATTER DAY SAINT’s (LDS) Church, through my 4th Great GrandMother Marinda Nancy Johnson.

A LECTURE IN THE WORKS:
School Time Children…

The Dutch East India Company was a chartered company established on March 20, 1602 by the States General of the Netherlands amalgamating existing companies into the first joint-stock company in the world, granting it a 21-year monopoly to carry out trade activities in Asia. Shares in the company could be bought by any resident of the United Provinces and then subsequently bought and sold in open-air secondary markets (one of which became the Amsterdam Stock Exchange). On September 22, 2000 The Amsterdam Stock exchange merged with the Brussels Stock Exchange and the Paris Stock Exchange to form Euronext. The registered office of Euronext, itself incorporated in the Netherlands a public limited company which is operating in the Kingdom of Cuzin King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands & Firstly with primary allegiance to, HOUSE ORANGE-NASSAU.
The Amsterdam stock exchange is considered the oldest "modern" securities market in the world, established in 1602. It was shortly after the establishment of the Dutch East India Company, (DEIC), sometimes called the United East India Company (UEIC), in 1602 when equities began trading on a regular basis as a secondary market to trade its shares. Prior to that, the market existed primarily for the exchange of commodities. It was subsequently renamed the Amsterdam Bourse and was the first to formally begin trading in securities. The Sephardic Jewish writer Joseph de la Vega's Book, “Confusion of Confusions” written in 1688 is the first full-length work about the stock exchange, its participants and shareholders.
First my 10th Great GrandFather in 1609,,, Sir & Captain Henry Hudson III, “The Explorer,” was sent to what was to later to become THE NEW NETHERLAND (1612-1674). Captain Hudson III Sailed on the ship: “The Half Moon,” with a mixture of Dutch & English Sailors. Later people & settlers were sent to live in the Middle colonies, including what was to become the property of THE DUTCH; New Amsterdam founded 1614-and lost to the English in 1674.
Although it was a Dutch company its employees included not only people from the Netherlands, but also many from Germany and from other countries as well. Besides the diverse north-west European workforce recruited by the DEIC in the Dutch Republic, the DEIC made extensive use of local Asian labor markets. As a result, the personnel of the various DEIC offices in Asia consisted of European and Asian employees. Asian or Eurasian workers might be employed as sailors, soldiers, writers, carpenters, smiths, or as simple unskilled workers, as they do today.  
At the height of its existence the DEIC had 25,000 employees who worked in Asia and 11,000 who were en route. Also, while most of its shareholders were Dutch, about a quarter of the initial shareholders were Netherlanders (people from an area that includes modern Belgium and Luxembourg) and there were also a few dozen Germans. Its Headquarters were in New Amsterdam (GREAT SHOW), in The Dutch Republic (global headquarters), Batavia, served Eurasia, (active, mainly in Greater India and the Asia-Pacific region). & Southern MUTHA Africa. Products: Spices, silk, porcelain, metals, livestock, tea, grain, rice, soybeans, sugarcane, wine, coffee, BRING IT BACK,,, SING IT BACK TO ME.
The conquest of New Netherland occurred in 1664 as an English expedition led by Richard Nicolls that arrived in New York Harbor effected a peaceful capture of New Amsterdam, Fort Amsterdam and the Articles of Surrender of New Netherland were agreed. The conquest was mostly peaceful in the rest of the colony as well, except for some fighting in New Amstel,,, AKA: Ironically; NEW CASTLE, DELEWARE. 
How the English obtained THE DUTCH NEW AMERSTERDAM, What led to this was Conflict between the States of Holland and KING CHARLES II of England's, whose sister Mary, the widowed Princess of Orange, over the education and future prospects of her son William III of Orange. Charles was influenced by his brother James, the earlier spoken of later to be KING JAMES II  and Henry Bennet; 1st Earl of Arlington, as he sought a popular and lucrative foreign war at sea to bolster his authority as king. Many naval officers welcomed the prospect of a conflict with the Dutch.

Last night a DJ saved my life.... 
;-) I LOVE MUSIC!! Life just wouldn't be the same without it.
