breathe.019 - J-Slyde - Live @ Esoteric Festival 2023 - Chill Island
Sunday / 12:00am - 02:00am

We're thrilled to welcome back tune aficionado and beatsmith J-Slyde with another brilliant mix... this time it's a live recording from his set on Chill Island @ Esoteric 2023...

Here's what he had to say about the set...

"I find chill sets the most un-chill set to plan for. I always begin with lofty aspirations, amassing a huge bucket of music that travels through BPM, genre and style, with the idea that it will all somehow come together on game day.

As I began work on piecing together this set, I was reminded that they never just "come together".

But that's a big part of why they end up being so special.

Then being offered a platform as beautiful as Esoteric's Chill Island to play such a set, further helping to make things that much sweeter.

It also played part of a 4-hour breathe. showcase, with Simon on beforehand. Big thanks to him for trusting me with such an honour!

The mix is loosely split into 3 chapters which cover lo-fi house, trip-hop, hip-hop, electronica, progressive breaks, lots of weird beats & breaks, some garage, a cheeky slathering of dnb and an amen break for good measure. All as cohesively as I could mix them together.

Hope you enjoy it!! ❤"

What can I say about FnF that hasn't already been said? It's always an honor to be selected to play at these truly special events, and as such I always prepare a very thoughtfully curated set based on which stage I'm playing at and where my time slot is located in the day/night. I never plan my sets from start to finish, but I do spend quite a bit of time prior to the event finding new music and creating several small playlists of music I think I may want to play based on genre. 

This year, my slot was Friday night, June 2, 2023 from 11:15pm to 12:30am right before kem, one of my long-time DJ pals & FnF OG. For my slot, I wanted to set up kem nicely by warming up the dance floor with some tech house and then ramped up the energy throughout my set with some jackin' house & bass house.

Huge thanks to Ethan, the Music Committee, the entire FnF family and Radiant Atmospheres for always creating an exquisite experience that is truly unmatched in love, vibes and production. 

Thanks for listening!

!People Get Up! Dave Marquez LIVE @ Trippin in the Clouds June 22nd 2024

The love vibe was unparalleled on this incredible day.  It takes a village to get married!!  Casey and Liza are two of my besties and one of my favourite couples.  They requested a dirty little hip hop set and I threw in a sexy lap dance at the end ;)  This one went over big, which makes me happy as it's a new style that I've been exploring after being strictly a house DJ for 12 years.  Enjoy and git down!!!

:: GOING DEEPER ::

 Born in Santa Monica California and later moving north to Santa Cruz, Dave discovered 12 inch vinyl remixes in the early 80's and cultivated a deep wax collection with elements of Funk, Disco, Reggae, New Wave and Rock. 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. 

 Inspired by Wicked Soundsystem, Spundae, Come-Unity and Stompy Stomp, Dave founded Hitman Produktionz in 1996 and made his name playing House and Breaks, producing PITCH CONTROL and HOUSE FOR RENT at the Blue Lagoon Club in Santa Cruz for nearly five years. Featured guest artists included Jonene (Stompy), Simon (Come-Unity), Rick Preston (Viva Records), Dano (Red Melon), Ruben Mancias (The EndUP) and Harry Who? (Solid Grooves). He’s held monthly, weekly and quarterly residencies in San Francisco, San Jose and Santa Cruz and played co-host, co-producer and DJ for noted parties DeLuxe, Technology, Jet Set and Le Freak at Space 550 Barneveld in San Francisco.

From fashion industry trade shows MAGIC and POOL in Las Vegas, Action Sports Retailers (ASR) in San Diego, to undergrounds in Portland, Sea of Dreams at the San Francisco Concourse and Burning Man 2010. Summer 2012 brought a DJ pilgrimage to Ibiza, Spain to study with studio masters Henry Sarmiento and Paul Nolan at the world renowned Sonic Vista Studios. He spun five gigs in eight days including Club Aura, Ibiza Global Radio and a private wedding anniversary party for Andy Taylor of Duran Duran. 

From late 2012 to the Fall of 2018 Dave was located in Humboldt playing underground invitational camp-outs and festivals honing his sound until migrating back to the Bay Area. 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…


:: UNSOLICITED::

"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!"
