This month DJ GARTH @garth-dj-mixes is at the controls of DON’T FORGET THE MOON! podcast !! Garth is a real legend !

As a founder member of San Francisco’s Wicked Sound System, https://www.facebook.com/Garthhound and crew have spent three decades fanning the flames of conscious hell-raising in California. 
His sound is a radical fusion of Acid House, Space Disco & Psych Rock. He has produced more than 60 records mostly on his own labels Grayhound, Wicked and Golden Goose. His remixes include everyone from Strafe, The Units, Tribe Called Quest, Faithless, Perry Farrell, Yabby You & Adam Freeland. Bringing UK sound system culture to San Francisco in 1991, Wicked’s lawless full moon beach parties ushered in an era of Acid House hysteria that ripped through the west coast and spread into the heartland. In 2010 Time Out NY included Garth’s Wicked crew in the top 10 Best House DJs of all time, alongside Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy and Tony Humphries. He stays true to the original art form playing all vinyl sets at clubs and festivals around the world.

Give the mix a whirl and relive the moment.

We've got a party coming up called Cultovice this Friday March 25th 2022 at Cherry in the Kremwerk complex featuring Aivilo, Esnce, Waste Management and myself on music and Velvet Lux on visuals and esthetics. Come thru for more psychedelic vibes and a show that promises to deliver something unlike any of the things you'd normally expect from a club night.

Exclusive - Lindstrøm Live

This hour-long session is a rare live set, taken from @feedelity's headline performance last year at Trópico Festival in Acapulco, Mexico. @tropicomx

"Walking around and seeing turtles, flamingos, and just enjoying the tropical climate of Mexico...there's something special about that because I'm from Norway and we just had snow two weeks ago.

This is a mix of my own material, most of the songs are rearranged or edited a little bit to work better in a live set context. I usually select some old songs, some new ones, and some unreleased material, then try different things in the live mix. I don't usually share my live sets because they don't feel as exciting to me after the fact, though they do feel really great when playing live."

LA Nights with DJ Garth

This February, we've been lucky to share a private music mix from world renowned DJ Garth.  We count him as an inspiration as an artist for more than two decades but also as a beloved friend.  Originally born and raised in England, Garth moved to SF in 1990 and was part of the Wicked Sound System group with DJ's Jeno, Markie, and Thomas.  A key player in defining and capturing the underground house music scene in SF, Garth's influence spread near and far through performing, producing and composing music.  This was all in his spare time when he wasn't touring the globe.  Now as a current resident of LA with his family, he still imparts his legacy of classic disco and house via live gigs while also continuing to produce music with his record label Grayhound Recordings.  Here's a link to a peek into Garth's heart and soul via our recent Q&A.

Q:What inspired you to put together these songs for the mix?
A:Whenever I am asked to do a mix I like to create a little back story. I tend to play records like a raconteur tells a story. The Farmers Daughter Hotel has a unique theme. I stay at the hotel and eat at the restaurant Tart. ‘Classic Americana w/an Urban Twist’ comes to mind. I dug through the American Rock n Roll section of my record collection and selected songs that spoke of heading out west, the open road, free love, wind in the hair, all that good stuff.

Q: What was the “story” of the songs pieced together?
A: The Farmers Daughter herself became personalized in the process as the elusive object who will not be tamed. She heads to California, leaving a trail of broken hearts along the highway. Like any good yarn there’s a beginning, a middle and an end. She inspires because ultimately she is her own boss and free as a bird, yet modest and kind to those she encounters.

Q: What are your greatest influences and motivators in life?
A:  Turns out what I Iove about the art of deejaying is also what draws me to the craft of acting, something I have been doing since moving to Los Angeles. It is not about the bells and whistles. It is telling a story, connecting through an honest dialogue or emotion:  holding up a mirror, exposing the soul. If you’re lucky, creating a performance that resonates, blows people away, or makes a difference.

Q:  What would you like “the road that you travel” to look like?
A:  I have had no regrets since leaving England for San Francisco in 1990. I have been blessed as a self sufficient artist the whole time and never had to work a ‘job’. I have a beautiful family and home, inspiring work, great friends and get to travel the world. I have faith in the road ahead although there are no guarantees in life.

Q: What aspects of the FD and/or the brand appeals to you?
A:  It’s an unpretentious, funky, independent, friendly joint. It’s the people!

Gold Code aka Raf Zevallos-Crowe, is a DJ/producer based in Orange County, California. A lifelong music lover, collector, and DJ, Raf's eclectic sets run the gamut of dance music with a base in-house and techno.

Growing up in 1980s Los Angeles, he was initially inspired by radio mix shows and DJs such as Doc Martin, Rob One, Michael "Mixxin" Moore, and 1580 KDAY Mixmasters. Moving to San Francisco in 1992, he immersed himself in its underground scene. Attending parties lead to working them and eventually to djing. He played his first warehouse in 1996 and spent the next 10 years djing and producing some of San Francisco’s most infamous parties and club nights.

"Gold Code" was initially founded as a music blog in 2007. The site showcased past, present, and future classics as well as his personal edits and DJ mixes. 

In 2009, he focused his efforts on music production and a live show. He adopted "Gold Code" as his moniker and debuted a well-received live set at the celebrated “As You Like It” parties. Remixes soon followed for Nude Photo Music and SubSensory labels culminating with his debut release, "The Day After" with remixes by Audioelectronic, Basskittens, Chris Fierenze, and Jonah Sharp.

2015 brought a move back to Southern California and a radio show, OMAKASE. Currently broadcasting live on Sunday from 6-8 pm [Pacific] on KUCI 88.9 FM, and livestreaming on www.twitch.tv/omakaseshow, showcasing the art of mixing past, present, and future classics.
