Sexy and sophisticated. Dark and dirty. Fierce and full power. Doug Jackson harnesses the energy, sensuality and joy of house music with a unique blend of passion and precision, unleashing a sound that grabs your body and takes you wherever he chooses to lead. From the sunny sounds of Miami and Ibiza, to the arena anthems of the circuit, to the backroom grind of a packed leather bar -- Doug seamlessly weaves many diverse influences into a smart, sensuous house style all his own.
Doug builds a connection with the dance floor beat by beat, curating inspired mixes that tell a story. Mixing progressive, techno, and tribal grooves with big room vocals and deep bass rhythms from around the world, he lives to fill the floor, keep you dancing, and give you something new – from fresh tracks he’s just uncovered to classics reimagined with fresh ears.
A student of music and sound from an early age, Doug started spinning professionally in his teens, hosting a daily Ohio radio show at 16, assuming his first residency at a teen disco one year later. He spent seven years as a recording studio sound engineer, evident in the meticulous production you’ll find in both his live shows and his popular podcasts.
Now based in South Florida, Doug has headlined signature events including Fireman’s Ball at BearWeek Provincetown, FurBall in New York City, BearDance at TBRU Dallas, Bearheat at IBC Palm Springs, and many other gatherings and club dates from Atlanta to Copenhagen. He maintains a monthly residency for the Trouble party and appears frequently at clubs in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and other cities around the world.

Freedom of expression is the ultimate form of art and in the immortal words of George E. Woodberry “It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.” No where does this ring more true than in the talents of Producer/DJ Michael Tank, who continues to be fulfilled from his ability to make others dance by enlightening audiences around the world with his incredible works in the studio and in the DJ booth.

His abilities in the booth have been sought by such great parties and events as White Party Week and Winter Party Festival in Miami, Memorial Weekend Pensacola, Snowball (Fridae Asia, Singapore), Halloween’s in New Orleans, Pride (San Francisco), Splash ( Austin), Jungle (Houston) and Mardi Gras (New Orleans). This award-winning DJ has further honed his skills in such surreal clubs as Cameo (Miami Beach), Rich’s (Houston), Blu (Atlanta), Oz (New Orleans), Universe (San Francisco) and South Beach Nightclub (Houston) to name just a few.

Michael’s high standards and detailed perfection in mixing music has earned him OutSmart Magazine’s “Best DJ” title for three years. Maintaining this skilled integrity has mobilized Michael to keep that title as other DJs have come and gone during that very same period. His level of performance has advanced his creative stage and desire to perform. The security of a long-time and highly successful residency in his beloved Texas simply could not and would not sway his decision to express his art in new ways to those who have yet to experience it around the United States and beyond. He ventured beyond Texas into a world hungry for talent and consistency.

In the fast-paced world of music production , Producer/DJ Michael Tank has taken a back seat to no one. One of Michael’s collaborations with remixing partner Michael Brown generated his first #1 on Billboard Magazine’s Dance Chart. Jason Walker’s “Set It Free”, on Junior Vasquez’s infamous label JVM, not only shot to the #1 spot, but gave Jason his second #1 song and gave Michael his first sanctioned #1 remix. Michael’s next remix, Gioia Bruno’s “Why Did You Call” was one of the most sought after vocals of 2006. Other popular projects included “South Beach” by Dance Planet X and the classic Veronica track “Someone to
Hold”.

The recent success of Michael has quickly caught the attention of industry leaders such as Tony Moran, Junior Vasquez, Manny Lehman and Chris Cox. One of Michael's dreams actually came true in which he performed opposite Tony at Miami's Crobar for White Party. The sold-out event won industry raves as an example of a good venue, good DJs and a good purpose. Producer/DJ Michael Tank has only just begun to scratch, burn and spin the surface of his creativity. Always at work on the next chart-topping mix, Michael eagerly awaits his next adventure which will
certainly find his audience dancing with delight throughout the evening or morning.
