West coast legendary DJ, considered by most as one of the driving forces responsible for the start of the Los Angeles electronic music scene and an integral part in the development of the West Coast house scene as a whole. For the last 25 years Steve has traveled the globe playing along side many of the world’s premier djs in many of the world’s top clubs. Steve has headlined countless of legendary clubs and events such as, Together as One, Bang the Drum, Electric Daisy Carnival, Unlock the House, By the People, The Gathering, and Freedom Festival. His most extraordinary moments include a 5 hour sunrise set overlooking the Pyramids of Teotihuacan in Mexico City, spinning techno-house tunes to a massive crowd inside the Brooklyn Bridge, and who could forget his wicked 4 hour set in the middle of the Nevada Desert, for Desert Move Las Vegas. Steve Loria never stops expanding his sound, embracing the future, and respecting the past. We ask all new jacks and old school heads to join us and celebrate the true spirit of the Los Angeles underground! 

San Francisco DJ Nikola Baytala has become a crucial component of the minimal-techno collective known as Kontrol. But don't typecast him as a one-dimensional droid with a M-nus Records logo tattoo. He's been exploring the upper echelons of the techno/house continuum since the early '90s (including the last 10 years at The Top, a weekly event hosted by S.W.A.T., aka Special Weapons and Tactics), gaining a reputation as a DJ's DJ, with acclaim coming from house-music legends like Derrick Carter and Doc Martin. Moreover, Baytala's list of musical influences and loves is vast, eclectic, and impeccable. The following roll call just scratches the surface: dub/reggae (Lee "Scratch" Perry), jazz (Pharoah Sanders), world (Ravi Shankar, Mulatu Astatke), funk (Cymande), soul (Bill Withers), hiphop (Gang Starr), Krautrock (Can), electro (Egyptian Lover, Kraftwerk), disco (DJ Harvey), Latin (Tito Puente), soundtrack/new age (Vangelis), rock (Steely Dan), post-punk (ESG, Liquid Liquid), and post-rock (Outhud). As for his bread and butter, Baytala similarly displays excellent judgment, with a heavy preference for quality-pushers like Jeff Mills, Gas, Monolake, Robert Hood, Theo Parrish, and Mr. Fingers. When you see a DJ possess such wide-ranging, outstanding taste, it instills confidence that he/she will rarely, if ever, veer into wackness. Baytala clearly has put many hours of study into his craft, and it's paid off with smooth mixes and world-class track selection. Besides his formidable technical skills and profound knowledge, Baytala reportedly exudes a lot of personality and passion behind the decks, which must have served him well while opening for acts like Jane's Addiction. Everything I've heard by Baytala suggests that his sets avoid the supposed pitfalls of minimal dance music. They're kinetic and dynamic.

Mikeytown (SOULEIL, San Diego)

Growing  up on the East Coast, Mikeytown's love for house music was triggered in the late 80’s while following Tony Humphries’ mixes broadcasted from KISS FM New York... but his true awakening to house music began in the late 90’s in the city he now calls home - San Diego, California.

Those that truly know him can attest to the fact that his music is reflective of his personality... passionate, energetic and soulful. He cultivated and developed his style as a weekly Ambassador to one of San Diego’s longest running house music parties, Dive.
