I decided to re-record my set from The Antidote on 6.25.21 since my live recording got botched due to a bad cable. I also added an extra hour of music to take you on an extended journey through more Grime, DnB, & Garage.  

Welcome to the jungle and the return of the lion.

Triangle Man @ The Antidote + Extended Mix

Creative from Canada, Art Director - The Village Stage, Shambhala Music Festival.

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!

Performing along side artists like: Kyle Watson, Doorly, Walker & Royce, Christian Martin, Lenny Kiser, Will Clarke & Sage Armstrong his events in SF tend to lean towards a tech house oriented crowd, but he also collaborates with the East Bay bass music scene frequently and produces events with a combo of bass and house music genres. 

Now that the COVID-19 pandemic is starting to end we can expect some new events to emerge for the Sub Society crew and Triangle Man.  

Rewind and you find he has been immersed in the electronic dance scene since the mid 90s. With his older brother creating some of the first events in his hometown of Eugene OR he grew up with dance music as a staple. Frequent visits to his family in Chicago gave him a unique opportunity to dig for house music in the city where it all began. With a suitcase full of vinyl he brought that influence back with him to the West Coast where he took that inspiration and began building up his community.  

Bringing a unique sound and vibe to the scene he continues pushing the envelope forward for music culture on the West Coast.
