"My intention is to share ecstasy by invoking a juxtaposition of emotions out of beautiful order and chaos. It aims not to contradict but to harmonize variances through music."

888 is a producer and DJ based in San Francisco, CA. After first learning electronic music in the City, she began honing her skills playing at local bars and clubs. She eventually began her own event series called “Tone Exploration” and “texhno.exe” aiming to create a safe environment for young and up-and-coming artists of the Bay Area music scene to openly express their musical talents.

Her sound breaks traditional boundaries, stemming from downtempo and experimental to hard, industrial techno. She finds excitement in exploring new styles, bringing dynamic energy to her music, which she tastefully ties together. Her sets are meticulously well thought out, intended to create a memorable auditory expedition that is energetic, heady and emotionally driven. Her productions feature hard distorted basslines with soft, dream-like melodies, a combination that provides depth and stands uniquely amongst the crowd. 

Maya Jane Coles, Bart Skils, DJ Bone, Silent Servant, Adam-X, Maedon are some of the artists she opened for.

DJ Heather B., also known as Heather Besos, has been rocking parties big and small, since highschool! For 26 years she has been holding her own with the best knob turners, headliners, and red-liners in the industry. She has really honed her DJ skills for good in the world and free drink tickets. She can roller skate without falling, well most of the time. She enjoys hikes in the redwoods with Goldie, the dog, cooking and eating with her hubby, Mario, sunbathing with her chicas, and sings a mean karaoke.


It all began in El Paso, Texas, the sister city of Juarez Mexico, in 1996. Heather was 14 years old and she traded her pointe shoes and opera music sheets for the expensive hobby of record collecting and the inexpensive hobby of cutting up rugs at undergrounds. Heather Besos picked up beat matching and blending quickly. She was welcomed with open arms into El Paso’s house music scene in May of 1996. She moved to New Mexico in February of 1997, where she frequented the UN (Underground Nation). She was part of Cosmic Kids, who’s first event was in May 1997. The year 1998 marked one of Heather B's first residencies, “Rapture”, where she was fortunate enough to play alongside Mark Farina. Before moving to California, Heather would work at Revolutions Record Shop.
 
In 1999 and into the early 2000’s, Heather would come and record hunt in San Francisco, making friends with her fellow DJs and dancers. In August of 2004, Heather packed up her record collection and moved to the Bay Area. Her first gig was at Stylus at the Oasis in Oakland, the first weekend she arrived. She had an ongoing weekly Saturday night residency at San Francisco’s Lingba Lounge from 2004-2006. Heather lived in SF’s Lower Haight district with friend, mentor, and housemate Roam Records’ Chad Mitchell from about 2006- 2015. DJing bars and clubs such as Wish, The Top, Anu, Butter, Mars Bar, The Shadow Lounge, Snow Drift, End-Up, Mighty, Triple Crown, and the South Bay's Cardiff Lounge. 


Heather Besos has now been residing in Oakland since October 2015. She founded the Bay Area Roller Group in 2020. She currently helps produce and DJ free day parties such as TikiFunk & Lovely Day with Mario Dubbz and friends in Oakland, CA. Over the last two and a half decades Heather B. has been winning over crowds and dance floors with her knowledge of music, track selection, and smoother than Goldie's fur coat mixing styles. She has played alongside a growing list of respected names such as Tony Hewitt, Hipp-e, Garth, Jeno, Chris Lum, Gene Hunt, Rick Preston, JT Donaldson, Joshua Iz, Diz, DJ Heather, Dehota, Collette, Joshua Heath, DJ Dan, Mark Farina, Wally Callerio, Doc Martin, Mr. V, Roger Sanchez, & Mood II Swing.

Music 2 Fuck 2

I'm always looking for fun and creative ways to express myself, and I usually prefer to show it in the form of music. Having taken formal classical piano training from four to twelve years old, it has undoubtedly helped my ears distinguish what I like to hear. That musical energy transferred to guitars, then to bass, then to synthesizers, where I'm currently exploring all the crazy sounds that can be made. I definitely want music to be a part of everything I'm doing all the time and wish to integrate it into my career.

I've learned my way around Pro Tools, Cubase, Reaper, and Reason. Once you know one DAW, you get how all the others work.

Spinlanders for iOS by Backup Entertainment (https://www.facebook.com/backupent/) was conceived and made by my two good friends, Johnathan Yen and Albert Choi. I had the privilege of working on all the music, sound effects, and voices for their video game!

I also started making all the audio for their unreleased iOS game, Planisphere, for Dream Build Play 2011 (https://youtu.be/6FDBhYVoNbw.)

Please check out my sound demos on Soundcloud.com (https://soundcloud.com/jmananquil.)

My friend's Megadeth cover band, Five Magics, that I played bass for, lasted about a year. Here's a link to one practice session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIeImR5S-Pk. We only had one actual live show since we didn't have a lead singer. More videos are linked to that video if you want to see other songs.

Secrets of the Sky, a band based out of Oakland, was the last full band project I've been in playing bass. You can watch our first ever live show here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqYcOCXagbQ. The music is along the lines of progressive doom metal. We had the privilege of recording at Trident Studios.

Thanks for taking a look and if you have any questions or would like to collaborate, please let me know!
