Another great day at Woodley Park. Here is my second set of the day. Went a bit harder and energetic for the second set. Hope you enjoy.

N8 - Effingham, IL
Fraktured Nation/Allied Kreations
With over two decades behind the decks, n8 is a seasoned selector whose genre-blurring sets span breakbeat, house, electro, and techno—anything that gets bodies moving and minds grooving. From his early days as a tastemaker and record buyer at Memphis institutions Millennium Records and Venus Records, n8 has remained on the cutting edge of underground dance music.

Having ignited dancefloors coast to coast and shared stages with some of the most respected names in the scene, n8 brings a deep, intuitive understanding of what moves a crowd. Whether commanding massive festival stages or diving deep into marathon club sets that stretch beyond six hours, he thrives in environments where musical exploration is not just welcomed—but expected.

Fueled by relentless crate digging, a reverence for the old school, and a sharp ear for timeless production, n8’s sets are polished, unpredictable, and always full of soul. Now making the rounds on the festival and club circuit, he continues to push boundaries and elevate dancefloors wherever he goes.

Another beautiful evening at Woodley Park. I had a great time dropping some beats with the crew. Got some Daft Punk, some classic house, some jazzy house, a bit of everything. Hope you enjoy.

DJ Dan B2B DJ Mes @ Guesthouse Anniversary 2025

On Halloween, Tony Gamboa and I played on the rooftop of the Canary Hotel in Downtown Santa Barbara. Sold out night filled with people dressed up and enjoying the night in the open air. The vibes were top notch. The crowd was very mixed as far as demographics and age so I played a lot of remixes and big tunes which seemed to be what people wanted. It was full on party mode

Live at Rave To The Grave, Halloween 2025, Santa Barbara

Today we are super excited to release DJ Dan's (inStereo Recordings, Apt Ent, Los Angeles) epic 2+ hour fast and funky house set from the dramatic Tropical 27-Year Anniversary Hot Tub Oasis Retreat September 28, 2025!

We've had Dan play before, both at Tropical Oasis Retreat back in 2016, and at Tropical Boat party in 2018.  So this return is an appearance long overdue.

This is the best mixed set I (Ben Annand) heard in 2025, as well as my favorite DJ Dan set.
This year I got to know Dan quite a bit better as we were  festival roommates in Wisconsin (July), Alaska (Sept) and finally in California at this Tropical Event.  He's a super funny and humble guy, a legend for a reason. 

As the more humble headliners often do, Dan asked about how to play at this particular event.  I delivered what I know to be the best  news you can give to the dj - Our crowd is super open, play however you want, feel free to take risks and be adventurous in a long set.

That's exactly what you get here - Funky AF, a bit faster than normal due to where Dan was handed off, lots of 80s and 90s influences and fun flashbacks, artfully and perfectly mixed.

If there is ever a museum created for DJ mixes, this one should go in it.

Enjoy the funk out of it!

My live set from Soulful Sunday on July 30, 2017. I started off playing house and played some classic house cuts and then went into some Freestyle and Miami Bass music. It felt like high school all over again. It was a super fun evening. Hope you enjoy the mix. 

Tracklisting soon:

Live at Soulful Sunday (07/30/17)

Thee-O started DJing at the young age of 13 and by the time he was 18 in 1992, he started DJing in the thriving underground rave scene of Southern California. He has created a name for himself while changing genres and staying true to his integrity, committing to what he feels is the best in underground dance music. His consistency of skillful mixing and lively scratching has cemented “his sound” regardless of what genres co-mingle in his style.

In addition to his DJing, Thee-O is also an accomplished producer and remixer that have landed tracks on Bedrock, Suara, Perfecto, Looq, Drops and System Recordings to name just a few. His approach to music production mimics his DJing artistry in the aspect that genre comes second over the feeling of the music. Genres and styles are split, shattered and then reformed into songs that work on multiple dance floors.

Recently, he was DJing and producing with Robert Pointer (AKA Robtronik) under the name Stylus. Stylus is also responsible for some of the most engaging events to occur in Los Angeles . Their events have occurred in amazing venues such as King King in the heart of Hollywood, The Standard Rooftop in downtown LA and Los Globos in the trendy Silverlake area, while attracting international talent of both House and Techno to join in on the fun. Thee-O also continues to work with the LA Based "re:love" crew to plan and execute the legendary park parties as well as pushing the brand to extend itself into new venues and opportunities.

As of January 2019, Thee-O has relocated to Honolulu. He is already DJing on the islands and has played for events at venues like Nextdoor and Hawaiian Brian’s as well as the Tropical Oasis Retreat in Maui. While he is on the islands, the slower pace of life will allow him to work on music with less distractions and should increase his output. 

While a lot can be talked about when it comes to “Old School,” Thee-O walks the walk. He has accomplished a lot in his 24 years of being a DJ, producer and promoter and he is just getting started. He remains wildly popular while staying firmly planted into the underground scene and not falling into the hype that can surround the current EDM culture. With a new island home, new ventures, new branding, new tracks, and new ideas, the future is going to be one for the books with lots more to come from this music innovator.
