David Joseph aka Downtown Dave

I've been spinning records since 1997 and although I play CD's as well as records, I am not a laptop DJ.  I grew up in Denver, CO. and use to spin under the name DJ Licious.  I moved to San Francisco in 2006 and have used my real name as well as the alias Downtown Dave. I like all kinds of music but I've always been very passionate about House. I hope you like my Funky/Deep/Disco style and enjoy my mixes.  
Most of my mixes have been posted to Mixcould so please visit and follow me there. https://www.mixcloud.com/DowntownDave/

Gax (aka Stephen Gakneras) is a Los Angeles based Dj that has been a passionate music lover throughout his life and is now bringing his love to the electronic music dance floors. His style of jackin house, which includes a funky mixture of soulful, tech and jazzy elements goes down smooth like your morning coffee and keeps your feet moving all night long.
Gax has been a dedicated musician since age 9. His repertoire includes four instruments essential to house music: violin, guitar, drums and trumpet. Gax was first exposed to electronic music in 1998 through friends that introduced him to trance mega-stars like Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren and Tiesto.
In 2004 Gax attended his first electronic music event , Insomniac’s Nocturnal festival, and in 2005 after watching DJ Dan at that same festival his life and musical tastes took a drastic turn. Experiencing Dj Dan’s funky house style inspired Gax to pursue house music, and after attending various other house music events he developed a passion for house and a dream of becoming a Dj. "After seeing many funky house Djs I found that electronic music was my passion and that is the direction in music that I wanted to go."
In 2010 Gax began to chase his dream full force through diligent practice behind the decks, thorough study of the house music genre, and playing as many gigs as he could book. In just one year he has brought his funky style to the dance floors of the Vanguard, King King, Detroit Bar, Counter Culture 2 festival in Chico, CA, various rocking house parties and has played as a guest star on beatfreaksradio.com. He is also soon to be a guest star on the Star Sessions radio show on insoulwetrust.com.
Gax frequents clubs like the Vanguard, King King, Focus, Philter, Secret Cinema, and Deep in search of new inspirations to help him progress his style so that he may take his dance floor experience to new heights. He lists house greats such as Dj Dan, Dj Heather, Dj Sneak, Sonny Fodera, Wally Callerio, Mark Farina, Dj Mes, Giom, and Fred Everything as some of his biggest influences as well as many other house legends.
Gax is also a passionate web developer and computer science major at Long Beach State University. Recently he has teamed up with fellow LA based house DJ and good friend No Requests (aka Tyler Withrow) to form Phunk Phenomenon. Gax said being motivated, ambitious, goal-driven and passionate about the music he plays drives him to constantly work to improve his sound and provide his listeners with an exciting and unique funky house experience. He plans to start production on his own tracks in the next six months and has dreams of touring the country spreading his funky house style across America.

Sean started DJing in the 80s as House music began to take hold in the UK, and cut his teeth through the 90s sharing the decks with legends like Paul 'Trouble' Anderson, Norman Jay, CJ Mackintosh and Matt 'Jam' Lamont.

In the 2000s, his deep, rolling sound evolved into the birth of DizzyFunk — a DJ collective known for their Midlands’ free parties and club nights, with Sean playing alongside guests from the legendary Smokescreen & DiY Sound Systems, including Inland Knights, Toka Project, The Littlemen, Digs & Woosh and Simon DK.

Now returning to the decks in the 2020s, Sean’s unshakable passion for real House music and his decades of experience shine through each and every time. Whether he’s playing Deep, Garage, Soulful, Jackin’ or Disco, it’s always firmly rooted in that classic 90s sound.

I'm just your average guy, no "rock stars" here, all though there was a time. I always had a deep love for music, even from child hood, secretly dancing in my bedroom to Madonna. Wearing nothing but my Superman under-roos and trying to master the robot or the scarecrow! Many styles of music came and went since then. Of course I went through my heavy metal phase too! No teenage boy should mature without getting all his angry "head banging" out of his system right! Then there was the "rap" years, which eventually became negative sounding (to me) because of the "gangster rap" explosion! Then... thank my lucky stars! I fell in love with House music the summer of 1992. I was introduced to it by my new English friend Chris Lester, who had just moved to my neighborhood from Brain Tree, England. Back then I didn't know how lucky I was to hear his collection of underground mix tapes! We were listening to tracks that didn't hit "the states" for 3 to 4 years to follow! Those were the days when, if you were driving down the street, and heard House music coming from someones car you flagged them down, cause you knew you had something in common with them. Which is what led me to discover the underground, on many different levels. My stories can go on and on, but for now I just want to say thank you Chris! For introducing me to your friend "Jack"!

"Mixes are time capsules of sound.  Each capturing a moment in time that will not be repeated the same way.  Each mix is meant to transport the listener in their own time machine to their own destination.  These are soundtracks for daily living..."
