Originally born and raised in Memphis TN, there was no shortage of musical influences for Gabriel Dellous. He grew up on an eclectic diet of funk, soul, and classic rock such as Booker T and the MG's, The Brothers Johnson and Jimi Hendrix, lovingly provided by his dads record collection. Inspired by his family's love of music, Gabriel took up the drums and guitar at the age of thirteen. It was only a couple years later that he discovered underground warehouse parties in Memphis. After attending his first warehouse party in 1994, he instantly knew he wanted to make people dance. 

Now a regular fixture of Portland's nightlife scene, Gabriel Dellous has shared the decks with well known DJs such as Dj Heather, Collette, Olivier Desmet, Wally Callerio, Mark Farina,Trevor Lamont, Doc Martin, Miguel Migs and Inland Knights to name a few. Lately, Gabriel has been honing in on his production style. Releases include tracks on Freaquewave Records, Mimosa Recordings, Planet East, Radda Records, Ficus Tree Music and other predominant house labels. He has also teamed up with Richie Staxx as the duo Easy Company, focusing on original productions, remix work, and future forward collaborations. Also performs live DJ performances with Bahb under the alias Street Kidz. 

With future bookings and production work, it looks like a busy year for Gabriel Dellous.

Live @ Tropical Rooftop SF presents How Weird Happy Hour

Re-hashed my set from my guest spot at Versions in Calgary, AB on June 21, 2022 - the first day of summer! One of my absolute favorite gigs of the year, I made the trip out with my rave brother Mark Grimace who played before me and we had the best time! The vibes were magical that evening and I felt 100% in the zone playing an unplanned set purely from the heart, and without compromise. 

Versions is such a special time and it was lovely to play there IRL after doing previous guest sets on their Twitch streams! 

BIG love to Esette, Danger Bay, Xhale Brewing, and Broken City for hosting such a fantastic weekly event every summer. I love Versions and I love Calgary! Follow Versions on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/versionsyyc

With roots in Vancouver’s queer underground, Sam Steele has become a fixture in Vancouver in recent years having held multiple residencies at major venues across the city and regularly serving up marathon six-hour sets marked by punchy rhythms, rolling basslines, and soulful, euphoric vocals drawn from the classics - a signature sound that fans have come to know as BIG GAY HOUSE.  

With every dance floor he plugs into, Sam's energy encourages people to lose themselves, and more importantly, find themselves - a reflection of his respect for what the dance floor represents. 

With a formal musical education from Berklee College of Music, Sam went on to create the duo Diana Boss with production partner Josh McRae in 2014. Together they went on to release music on labels such as Westwood Recordings, Jungle Funk Recordings, NYLO Music, UFO Recordz, and Play Records among others. In 2020 they made their first international appearance at Yelapa Festival. Their music placements include the Netflix Original Japanese reality show “Terrace House” featuring their 2017 single “Simple Girl” and CBC’s sitcom “Queens” featuring their 2017 single “Give Me Life feat. Quanah Style.”

In early 2020 the decision was made to rebrand Diana Boss as Goddexx. The rebranding was a positive change for the Vancouver music scene, and for the duo personally; and one which inspired other artists to do the same. Riding a wave of new energy, Goddexx saw new releases on Westwood Recordings and theBasementDiscos, produced a string of singles for Canadian Drag superstar Scarlett Bobo, and cracked the Top 10 on Beatport’s Nu Disco / Disco Chart, Indie Dance Chart, and House Chart with their 2020 release “Make U Feel Good” on NYLO Music.

2021 saw the start of a fresh, self-titled, solo project for Sam Steele with debut solo releases landing on Cruise Music, Sollors Systems, and Vile Music; new weekly residencies at Vancouver’s famed 1181 Lounge, Celebrities Nightclub, and the historic Hollywood Theatre; his continued residency on NYLO's Welcome To The Weekend heard around the world on DI.FM, and signing with Triple A Talent Agency.  

2022 was a breakthrough year for Sam that saw him play over 80 shows including debut appearances at Basscoast Music Festival, FVDED Music Festival, and LA Pride.  

Sam continued into 2023 with opening sets for Mark Knight and Honey Luv, an electrifying return to Basscoast Music Festival, and his first solo international debuts at Yelapa Gathering and Seattle’s Monkey Loft - the first of many international debuts on the horizon.  With rising optimism about what lies ahead, Sam’s focus is now turned to releasing new productions that speak to his original love of House music.  

House is life.
