Jules Juke is an open format DJ known for playing in the space between R&B and House. In 2009, she debuted an electronic radio show on KUPS in Tacoma, WA helping the program cinch an MTVu Woodie Award for Best College Radio Station in the country. It was after an on-air interview with a professional DJ that she started applying herself more seriously to the craft of DJing. Jules’ love for weaving a diverse mosaic of genres got her “RnBass” mix featured on Earmilk’s Wobble Wednesday Mix of the Week in 2013. Under this “RnBass” umbrella, Jules Juke would continue honing her DJ style blending R&B, Pop, House, Future Beats, Kpop, Jazz-hop, Afrobeats & Baile Funk at The Dogwood Cocktail Cabin as a monthly resident from 2019-2022.

Tonia Ko has collaborated with leading soloists and ensembles across a variety of media—from acoustic concert pieces to improvisations and site-specific installations. Recipient of numerous accolades including a Guggenheim Fellowship, Ko’s music has been lauded by The New York Times for its “captivating” details and “vivid orchestral palette,” and performed at venues such as Walt Disney Hall, Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, and the Tanglewood Music Center and Royaumont Festival. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Hawai'i, Ko holds a DMA from Cornell University and is currently Senior Lecturer in Composition at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Kore Ionz (pronounced kor-EYE-ons) is the project of Hawaii-born singer, songwriter, and producer Daniel Pak. The Seattle Weekly describes his voice as sounding “like it was birthed right in the heart of New Orleans, with enough jazz heart to lead a Jamaican revolution of peace and love.” Along with his band, all based in Seattle, Pak has shared the stage with The Wailers, Toots and the Maytals, Steel Pulse, and many more of reggae’s founding fathers since dropping his first album of island melodies and rhythms in 2008.

Super Kleen for the mellow, SK for the hard!

Supporters may complain about the lack of attention the local electronic music scene receives. Forgive Tide Super Kleen for not being one of those people.

Spanning a career of 21 years, his passion for the art of DJing and Production has never floundered.

"I feel we as a collective should focus on trying to figure out how to improve the scene," said the Honolulu native. "As of now, I feel the scene is starting to pick up again!"

While Tide is high on the current state of Hawai'i dance music culture, he's in it for the long haul. He relishes the responsibility of taking the scene as far as it can go.

He may be a DJ now but will always be a dancer and fan first and foremost.

"I play whatever would make me dance, as I don't really consider myself a DJ, more a partier who plays other people's music."
