Music is healing and should be shared! I had the honor of playing my friend's 50th birthday on my actual birthday, and much fun was had! Thank you to everyone who came to dance and wish me a Happy Birthday!

DTR Live at Frequency 4-13-24 at Santos (New Orleans)

For anyone that missed out, Frequency was a whole damn vibe. Downstairs, upstairs, everyone brought their A game and luckily, we here at NOHP make sure we record everything so you can still experience how excellent the music was the entire night. First out the gate is DTR from Big Puffy Yellow. Our guy did the damn thing and kept the dancefloor moving! Big big thanks to Techno Club, Anti Pop, BPY and Quality Control for partnering with us on such an awesome night. More to come soon.

This week on Space Cowboys RIPEcast we have the man I consider the holder of the House music championship belt our very own Brad Robinson. Coming at you with a live old school vinyl set!

“The Birds of a Feather event was something really unique. To have so many of the old school Bay Area burning man crews pool their energy and resources to bring community together into one place, was just phenomenal. When Tamo first told me about the plans for the event, I got really excited, especially when she told me that there would be turntables poolside. I immediately started digging through my vinyl and reminiscing of the days when we would all dance together to these records. Each one of these tracks is like an old friend and getting to play them again for a dance floor of chosen family was a real treat.  Thank you to all of the event planners who went above and beyond to create this very special weekend for us.”

:: 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. Early influences include Saturday Night Fever, Wild Style, Skate/Punk culture, The Dr. Dimento Show, Dj Bubba G. 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…

"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!"
