ARMANDO X. fka DJ DS is a New Jersey-born DJ, vocalist, and producer whose musical lineage comes from a long line of New Jersey based Soulful House producers, DJs and vocalists from the likes of Romanthony, Tony Humphries, Kerri Chandler, & JoVonn. 

Now based in Richmond, X. cut his teeth in New York City's underground scene, holding vinyl residencies at 320 Club and Hi-Note Radio while spinning at basement parties, low lit lofts, and after hours spaces across the city.

His sound blends disco melodies, Roland drum machines, raw vocals, and gritty edits that leave people on the dancefloor in a sweat drenched trance. Sexy, percussive, and unpredictable, ARMANDO X. builds dance floors that feel like a church in a basement - all body, no judgment - where everyone is welcome. 

Whether it’s a nostalgic disco edit or a hypnotic deep house track, his sets are built for movement, memory, and emotional release. What you hear is healing. What you feel is freedom.

Steve Travolta is a New York City house 
music veteran with nearly 30 years experience 
spinning in some of the city’s most famous 
nightclubs such as Limelight, Roxy, Palladium, 
Tunnel, Club USA, Webster Hall, Pacha and 
Cielo to name a few.  His signature vocal, 
deep house and tribal influenced sound 
emerged predominantly during the early 2000s 
at his notorious Loft Preservation Society 
parties that he created with fashion designer, 
Cesar Galindo, which took place in their home
above the original Sound Factory on West 27th 
Street in Manhattan.

Steve has been profoundly influenced by music 
industry legends David Morales and the late 
Frankie Knuckles - the two collaborated often 
as Steve served as Knuckles’ opening DJ during 
his Better Days residency and Frankie was often 
paired up with Steve at his wildly popular Fresh
Fruit parties at New York City’s Meatpacking 
District hot spot, Cielo. 

His music knowledge is vast. Steve was 
 assistant director of Judy Weinstein’s record pool 
For The Record, the largest and most popular 
of it’s time. He is an accomplished re-editor 
working on projects for Kings Of Tomorrow, 
C&C Music Factory, Sounds of Blackness, 
Cyndi Lauper and Alicia Keys. Steve has also 
collaborated as a music editor with such heavy 
weights as Danny Krivit, François K’s Wave Music 
Label and the UK’s Black Market Records.

Travolta has taken his NYC signature sound on 
the road spinning in Canada, Italy, Singapore, 
Germany, Greece and various other cities across 
the United States. Hailing from the heyday of 
New York City nightlife he is no stranger to 
spinning six hour plus sets. He is currently a 
monthly resident at Christina Visca’s celebrated 
party Birdcage at Le Bain at The Standard 
High Line, a featured guest of Ladyfag’s hit night 
Battle Hymn at Mission and also a repeat guest at 
Benny Soto  and Danny Krivit’s 718 Sessions at Good Room.

Erstwhile disco party starters, occasional radio hosts and podcasters. Brewed in Nottingham, drunk in London.

Set up by DJs Nick Shaw and Ed Cotton and promoter Olly Hewett, Basement Boogaloo began life beneath the streets of Nottingham and developed into one of the city's best-loved parties. It had three simple ingredients: a dancefloor full of like-minded musical souls, a crystal-clear sound system and some of the best DJ talent from across the disco galaxy. 

Here you can listen to some of our radio shows and mixes from the past few years.

Over the course of 7 or so years, the parties moved from Bar None (a tiny basement bolthole) to the Maze (a rowdy local venue which perfectly suited the night's sweaty brand of hedonism) via famed bank holiday all-dayers and NYE shakedowns in Notts, and appearances at the Electric Chair, the Electric Elephant and the Garden Festival in Croatia. The gang also hosted a series of parties and two killer NYEs at The Star of Bethnal Green and a series of more intimate basement affairs in Stoke Newington, London.

Basement Boogaloo would have been nothing without the guests it hosted over the years. Consisting of a fine selection of family and friends and some bona fide scene heavyweights, they included: 

Mark E; PBR Streetgang; Trus'me; The Revenge; Toby Tobias; Pete Herbert; Bill Brewster; Leo Zero; Ray Mang; Wild Geese; Horse Meat Disco; Ashley Beedle; Faze Action; Daniele Baldelli; Cosmo; Ame; Maurice Fulton; Domu; Crazy P; Greg Wilson; Stuart Patterson; Dave Jarvis; Unabombers; Ilija Rudman; Zed Bias; Chris Duckenfield; Yam Who?; Semtek (Don't Be Afraid); Electric Minds; Flash Atkins; James Holroyd; Rob Bright; Schmoov!; Office Gossip; Lovebirds; Atjazz; Mudd; Red Rack 'Em; Rhythm Plate; Winston Hazel; Moonboots; Matty J & Ben Terry (The Pool / Tirk); Alex Phountzi (Bugz in the Attic); Alex Chase (Stones Throw / One-Handed Music); The Whole Truth; Jon K (Eyes Down); Solid State (Society); Chris Lowlife (Lights Down Low); Simon Mansell & DJ Da Costa (Southport Weekender); Annabel Fraser (Hupendi); Keep On Magazine DJs; Rick Donohue; Deepsoul3; Jigsawmusic; Francis Wooff; Fran Green; Mr Hill (aka Dru Skillz); Legendary Tone; Mark Rayner; Ed Challands ... and not forgetting sometime resident and Nottingham legend, Beane.

DJ David Martinez – SURVIVOR by Austin Downey

Many DJs have made their mark on the New York club scene, but few have survived as long as David Martinez. After life-changing experiences on the dance floor at the original Sound Factory nightclub in Chelsea, David picked up and moved to New York City in 1995. He brought with him a wealth of diverse inspiration and a heart of gold where the music was concerned. Like many of his peers, David landed an internship at the legendary Strictly Rhythm dance label under pioneer Michael McDavid and soon landed gigs at Twirl, Splash, XL, Champs, Exit and the legendary J’s Hangout.

His gigs soon turned into residencies, and before long David Martinez brought his signature feel-good house sound to Fire Island, where he regularly spun magical mixes for the crowds at Pavilion and Tea. He also worked under such famous promoters as Marc Berkley and John Blair.

David Martinez can rock a slammin’ house track with the best of them, but it’s his more sensitive side that leaves the crowd wanting more. Like his idols Junior Vasquez and Frankie Knuckles, David brings a balance of body and soul to his mixes and continues to keep ‘em dancing to this day.
