Vinyl Music Festival Founder & Executive Director

Official Kikwear DJ & Global Brand Ambassador for the Kikwear line of products!

As a DJ, Drager's abilities have been described in many ways. But Aggressive, Innovative, and Cutting Edge are the 3 best ways to describe Drager’s style. After 20+ years in the music industry, Drager has made a name for himself by remaining ahead of the game in not only his choice of music, but with the way he plays it as well. With long flowing mixes that seamlessly blend one track into the next, Drager has the ability to take control of the dance floor, and to energize the crowd that is on it. 

Drager got his start in Memphis, TN where he had a friend who was a mobile DJ. On weekends, when his friend was not playing gigs, he would go over and play on the turntables for fun. Drager took to them like a natural.

In 1992, he left Memphis for the lights of NYC. Shortly after arriving, Drager got his big break when the DJ at a club one night walked out after an altercation with the owner. Being in the right place at the right time, they asked him if he could play for the night. With only 40 pieces of wax, Drager kept the floor packed from 10pm until 3am. At that point, he was asked to spin at some of the largest clubs in NYC such as Danceteria, Palladium, China Club, and the freshly minted Webster Hall.
During this time the labels started taking notice of him, and he started receiving promo sponsorships from record labels such as ZYX, Strictly Rhythm, Logic, FFRR, Interhit, and others. After leaving NYC and heading to Boston, Drager spun at The Roxy on several occasions, as well as traveling to Washington DC to play at the Vault and the Bank. During this time, Drager headed back to NYC on a regular basis to continue his assault on the NYC Club Scene. After living in Boston, Drager headed back to NYC, and was active in the club scene in Manhattan and on Long Island. Drager spun with a upcoming DJ named Skribble on Long Island for about a year, and then left New York to head to Florida.

In Key West, Drager spun what few clubs were available, and many underground raves that took place. After leaving Key West and heading to Denver while his fiance was ill with cancer, he spun at several clubs in downtown Denver, and then headed to Las Vegas and California at the end of 2000. In Vegas, Drager spun at such clubs as RA, Baby’s, House of Blues, and other off Strip Vegas events.
His style of mixing is unique, and he has a way of keeping the floor pounding by his choices in music. Drager is one of the few DJs out there that is still considered a “pure DJ” in his preferred use of vinyl and CDs, and not computer based programs. In fact., he REFUSES to touch any computer based mixing programs, calling them “new school.” In December 2006, Drager took the next step into production, with the release of his first track “BANGING!!” which sat atop the Exile UK charts for 3 weeks at #1.

Drager is the founder and executive director for the Vinyl Music Festival, an annual electronic music festival in Sarasota, Florida that started in 2009. Since it's inception, it has grown dramatically, and is now the largest electronic music festival on the Gulf Coast of the United States.  And to top off all of these achievements, Drager has been consistently ranked in the Top 20 DJs overall in the United States year after year.

Born & bred in the Middle East, Damian D’Costa is 1 of the few DJs in the region who has worked all his life towards his ultimate goals of DJing internationally & opening up his own clubs & bars. 20 years on & not holding back, Damian’s career goes way back to the 80’s where he started off as a turntabilist & progressed through the years witnessing the birth of House music which makes him understand the genre better than many of today’s DJs. During university, the early 90s, saw Damian hold a 4 year residency in a major club in Limassol, Cyprus & on returning to his hometown Bahrain he decided to use his marketing degrees to promote the nightlife in the region & soon began to organize his very own parties & events & has put together some of the islands best beach, fashion & Underground parties including Xposure 2004, Parasoul , the famous Full moon party & 2 FTV parties. Damian as a DJ has held residencies at some of the island's most famous clubs such as BJs, Likwid & Savage garden & has also hosted his own 5 day a week radio show on the national radio station, 96.5fm for 4 years where he promoted most genres of House music educating the masses bringing the international club culture to the shores of the Arabian Gulf. In 2004 & 2006, Damian swooped 1st place at the world famous Heineken thirst studio competition & represented Bahrain for the regional finals. Through the years of his residencies, he has played alongside numerous International DJs (full list below)& has landed gigs in major clubs & events around the world including Slovenia, Poland, Dubai’s Trilogy, Ibiza’s El- Divino, Bora Bora & Space & London’s ‘The Gallery’ at the Ministry of Sound & Tresor in Berlin. Over the past few years Damian has managed to design, develop & open his very own venue, Cocoon Lounge which had a successful 5 year run which proudly hosted International DJs & artists on a weekly basis & he has more recently partnered in opening an up-market restaurant/Lounge, MUJU restaurant & lounge (www.mujuamwaj.com) on a brand new man-made island called Amwaj islands where he hosts several of the world’s best chill out & house DJs & he has just signed up with the world famous Café Del Mar & Pacha, Ibiza hosting their parties through his very own events company, Eventions (www.eventionsbahrain.com) . Both venues have been the evolution of the region’s nightlife & have been internationally recognized.  Mid 2013 Damian decided to get more into the underground after-hours scene & invested himself in opening up one of the islands only after-hours clubs, ‘Blaq Velvet Underground’ which attracts only the serious House Music Lovers who gather to experience quality deep groovy underground music & it being the only club on the island that exposes such upfront music, it has become one of the most talked about venues.
 On the music front, Damian landed himself on the official roster for Salvacion, Ibiza Republik since 2009, which has a residency at the super club Space, Ibiza & in 2011, he has been signed up as a resident DJ for the official Bora Bora Ibiza World Tour roster. He has played at branded international gigs in Amsterdam, Italy, London & Ibiza of course! He has also set up his very own electronic music studio in Bahrain where his style of groovy percussive tech house productions have been recently released on his very own label , Casa D’Costa which is now out on Beatport , Juno Download, Traxsource, Itunes & Amazon Music & in the summer of 2011, hosted his official label launch party at Delano Beach Club, Ibiza. The brand new label will also feature tracks from some of the best underground House artists & remixes from the big names in the industry & with him being a bass guitarist by trade, be sure you’re in for some true funky floor fillers!
In 2013, Damian had a vision to counteract with top DJs as well from around the world by starting up his very own Casa D’Costa on-line Radio Station, which has grown & now boats 4 channels with different genres but keeping true to the Underground sound. It’s main purpose is to create a musical connection from all over the world with not only up-coming Underground DJs & artists, but Casa Radio has mainly signed up some quality DJ shows, such as Yousef’s 21st Century House Music, Pete Gooding on The Global Network & The Shapeshifters Love Inc. to name just a few…(Check it out on http://www.casadcosta.com)
