HI! I've been an underground house music dj since 1994. I've played all over the US. I've lived in Knoxville, TN, Atlanta, GA, Kansas City, MO, and now San Diego, CA. While in Kansas City, I was lucky enough to work with DeepFix Records. Not only were we a household name for underground house from 2001-2007, we threw a crazy sick party called Frisky with all of our favorite Djs ; Derrick Carter, Luke Solomon, Mark Farina, Diz, Wally Callerio, DJ Sneak, Hector Moralez, DJ Heather, Miles Maeda... you get the picture. Since then, I've been lucky enough to become friends with some of them and play along side them many more times. They also play my tunes! I've been producing since 2001.  I've been on a bunch of cool labels like Kolour Recordings, Sampled Detroit, and Greenhouse Recordings. in 2008 Uriah West(one of the coolest guys in the world, and one of my best friends) and I started Audio Indika. It's a house music label focusing on quality, not quantity. We've put out tracks by Forrest Avery(The guy that invented the NWMC), John Hawley, Wally Callerio, Frankie J, and a whole bunch of dope underground artists. Right now you can catch me every Friday at The Air Conditioned Lounge in San Diego, and on other nights, different cities across the country.

Ramon Valdez, Jr. hails from Vallejo, California in the bay area and has resided in the County of Long Beach, South bay Los Angeles, California since the late 1990’s. His Father would come home from work and share with him as a young boy the different scales of sound – anything from the styles of Alice Cooper, the tones of The Doors to the genius of Prince as well as Bay Area Funk groups like Con Funk Shun. As a child of the 1980’s, Ramon would discover other songs and groups of the rising MTV era such as Duran Duran, Motley Crüe, Culture Club, Men at Work and Deee-Lite as well as Hip Hop’s front stage pioneers of RUN DMC, Beastie Boys and the like.
Still a youngster in 1988, a neighborhood friend once had his stepbrother visiting from Chicago. Along with the visitor came a cassette mix tape of House music. Sitting in a garage, he inserted this tape, hit the play button and Ramon took a first listen and did not know what he was hearing, explaining, “It was different, music was fast and kept looping, which I didn’t understand at the time.”
In the early 90’s he worked at a Bay Area event ticketing service and would get discounts to events, which he was able to get tickets for his cousin who would ask for “Rave” tickets to events in the Bay Area.  Being a solid hip hop head at the time, he wasn’t interested, but would learn what they were.
Fast forward to the late 90’s after a short 3 year stint in the military, Ramon opened his ears and mind to new music and went to raves, mostly in Northern and Southern California.  New to the trend, he dipped into all the genre’s raves had to offer:  Trance, Jungle and most importantly the genesis of electronic music… House.  House music is what he found more particularly relevant to his taste and began learning the foundation and history, while at raves and nightclubs watching, listening, and low key studying the DJ’s that came out to these raves.  From his favorites Diz to Derrick Carter, DJ Heather to Mark Farina, DJ Sneak to DJ JDub, Marques Wyatt to Doc Martin and so many others, he was upfront takin mental notes of their style of mixing behind the decks, then going home practicing and implementing them and adding his own twist to his own style of mixing.
Years later, Ramon has been the consummate advocate of House Music, the culture and music’s beats, harmonies and vibe. His understanding of the sub genre’s of house music and his passion of mixing is evident in his DJ skills, the parties he backs and promotes for. He has also expanded his technical ear for sound, becoming a graduate of Music Production & Engineering at the Los Angeles Recording School.
Currently, Ramon plays weekly on Twitch and works on his own productions and mixes which can be found on the links above or by going to
