Co-founder of San Francisco’s Wicked Sound System, Garth has spent three decades fanning the flames of conscious hell-raising in California.

His sound is a unique fusion of Acid House, Space Disco & Psych Rock.

He has produced more than 60 records mostly on his own labels Grayhound, Wicked and Golden Goose. His remixes include everyone from Strafe, The Units, Tribe Called Quest, Faithless, Perry Farrell, Yabby You & Adam Freeland.

Bringing UK sound system culture to San Francisco in 1991, Wicked’s lawless full moon beach parties ushered in an era of Acid House hysteria that ripped through the west coast and spread into the heartland. In 2016 Time Out NY placed Garth and Wicked crew in the Top 10 Best House DJs Of All Time alongside Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy and Tony Humphries.  

He stays true to the original art form playing all vinyl sets at clubs and festivals around the world.

Episode 50 w/ Scott Z

“I went into this mix thinking—“Hm, what would I wanna hear in the club right now if I was at one?” I'm obsessed with Deee-Lite so it was only right to start and end this mix with some of that. My favorite thing ever is music that has a nice lil swing and attitude. When it’s unplanned. Raw. These records are the ones I wake up humming and hold dear to my heart. I hope you enjoy it! Xo.”

Episode 55 w/Mark Grusane

SEEPS hails from the Bronx, NY and has always been obsessed with dancing, dance music and its culture. She is a true Nuyorican; which heavily influenced her taste in music and her penchant for becoming the veracious record collector she is. She would videotape every dance show and all the music videos, so that she could emulate each and every move contained within. “It would be extremely hard to be a DJ and not incorporate dance into everything I do because it’s everything”.


“I am obsessed with the New York Underground House Sound and movement of thelate eighties and early nineties; my first loves were Masters At Work, Pal Joey, Two Without Hats and Deee-Lite. You can’t be from NYC and not love Kenny and Louie,right? I have an insanely large number of members in my family. They have had a big influence on me and always wanted me to listen to “that record” they loved so much. I carried that inspiration of their crazy basement parties with me and mixed it into everything I am; music, dance, fashion, and eventually DJing and production”.

During the pandemic SEEPS capitalized on the opportunity to showcase her skills
through streaming regularly on multiple platforms. Her endless energy, deep crates and ability to blend vinyl and digital mediums earned her praise and recognition from her heroes; Jellybean Benitez, Louie Vega and DJ Sneak.

SEEPS has lived in the Los Angeles area for the last several years and plays out
regularly. Find her in Los Angeles playing with heavy locals DJ Sneak, Spiñorita and Aaron Paar, or escaping back home to NYC or her favorite city Madrid. 

She recently made her debut at Dante’s Hi-Fi Miami and continues to love traveling most. You can expect an EP release from SEEPS by the end of this year. In the meantime, catch her weekly radio show I’llGoRhythm, Wednesdays at 8PM PST on Mix93FM Los Angeles and worldwide on Mix93FM.com.

There Is No Planet Earth Stories - Episode 4 w/Adriel Thornton

For the fifth episode of There Is No Planet Earth Stories, I’m joined by guest Abbie Adams representing stories from New  Jersey. We discuss a range of topics including her formative experiences in the New York clubs of the 70’s & 80s, the origins and evolution of Movin records, Tony Humphries, Zanzibar, and the house sound of New Jersey.

“As one of the prominent, iconic women in the Dance Music business, Abigail Adams’ critical role in the development of New Jersey’s Essex County-centered dance music industry continues to impress upon the new crop of DJ’s, remixers, producers, record labels and recording artists.  Abigail began her career in the Dance music arena via her DJ boyfriend, KB.  In the early 1980’s, they owned a custom roller skating store Movin’ Skates in East Orange, NJ.

By the mid 1980’s, through her friendships with now legendary DJ’s such as Timmy Regisford, Larry Levan (RIP) and Tony Humphries, her knowledge of recording artists and their discographies grew rapidly.  Movin’ Records became THE most influential record shop in the Dance music scene in NJ.  

It was Abigail’s relationship with DJ Tony Humphries of Club Zanzibar who was also one of the leading DJ’s on NYC’s 98.7 KISS-FM mastermix show and the club’s former manager, Shelton Hayes, had unknowingly created a unique marketing strategy that catapulted many undiscovered artists into dance world stardom.  The birth of Movin’ Records, the label was a natural progression for Abigail due in part to the exploding dance music culture.  The Movin’ Records catalogue is full of some of genre’s forthright artists, producers & remixers such as Vicky Martin, Kenny Bobien, Cassio Ware, Boyd Jarvis, Intense, Kerri Chandler, Marshall Jefferson, DJ Pierre, Ce Ce Rogers, Blaze, Larry Patterson and Tony Humphries.

Abbie’s career has crossed decades and her musical ear has impacted many as her influence continues today. She has been featured recently in publications such as Faith Fanzine, and Lady of House  - Stories of Women in Dance Music complied by Laila McKenzie and Ian Snowball. “

There Is No Planet Earth Stories - Episode 5 w/Abbie Adams

"Chicago native Justin Aulis Long discovered his fascination for uncanny music at an early age when his mother entrusted him with her record collection that spanned from UK punk to American dance. This  served as a gateway, stimulating his journey into the sonic vortex. As a child of Medusa’s on Sheffield, Long gained a higher level of musical education. His weekly pilgrimages to this venue’s all-ages hedonistic dance parties supplied a compelling musical concoction of acid house, UK bleep, industrial and new wave. Possessed by these unorthodox forms of music, Long purchased his first set of turntables and began to collect 12-inch singles from local record shops. Though his intentions were solely to pander to his musical appetite in the privacy of his bedroom, this acquisition proved to be the genesis of a voyage that continues to present him with new challenges that are met with an unforgiving dogmatic approach.

Long cut his teeth during the early 90’s at many of Chicagos Infamous DIY and underground warehouse raves. pulling selections from a variety of his musical influences and interests. Eventually graduating to take residencies at many of the cities established club venues and landing a residency at Smart Bar where he is currently the longest consecutive resident."

Love from Helsinki to all TINPE crew! This is Ocean People, sometimes known as DJ Anonymous. My city is great, but also pretty far out, so I’ve been doing mixes to connect with folks since I was a kid – 1995 to be exact.

I bring you a selection of 70’s Philadelphia productions that I absolutely ADORE. 

There Is No Planet Earth readers know that Philly as a sound played a pivotal role in the evolution of dance music. I discovered it 20 years after the fact in the 90’s – and it was a REVELATION. 

I have vivid memories of hearing My Love Is Free (by Double Exposure, produced by Norman Harris) for the first time. I was like, what are these uplifting rhythms & melodies? How can a song be almost 10 minutes and still go so hard? Where can I find more? 

This set me on a path of music discovery that has come to define my life & DJ practice. Philly led to the full spectrum of 70’/80’s dance music, which in turn led to house and all of its children. 

And here I am, 25+ years later, still getting hyped over Norman Harris productions. 

Philly producers left us with larger-than-life songs that will never die (Love Is The Message, anyone?). This guest mix showcases selections that hold the same amazing power, but never got the same attention. Many are special edits – by myself & others. I hope you enjoy the vibe.

Philly❤️

In the Fifteenth episode of There Is No Planet Earth Stories, I sit down with legendary DJ, producer, and remixer Justin Strauss for a wide-ranging conversation about his remarkable journey through music and nightlife culture.
We explore Justin’s early music experiences—from seeing The Beatles live to attending iconic shows at Electric Circus. He shares stories from his time as the frontman of the glam-punk band Milk n' Cookies, and his transition into DJing, including his first gig and influential residency at the legendary Mudd Club.
Justin also reflects on his pivotal roles as resident DJ at iconic 80’s NYC venues like Area, and The Ritz. Additionally,  our conversation explores the origins and evolution of his prolific remix and production career, which continues to inspire across generations.

“Few DJs could adequately represent the last three decades of New York nightclub history - no less do so with such iconic credentials as Justin Strauss. Since he was 17, when his first band was signed to Island Records, Justin has had a career that reads like a Who’s-Who of the music scene, spinning at nearly every dance club that you’d ever want to go to. Starting as DJ at New York’s legendary Mudd Club, he spun his way through The Ritz, Limelight, Area, Tunnel, M.K., Life, Centro Fly and more, pioneering his own distinctive sound, and becoming one of the most sought-after remixers and producers not just in New York, but in the world. He has worked with the gamut of artists - Depeche Mode, Hot Chip, Sergio Mendez, Tina Turner, Jimmy Cliff, B-52s, Luther Vandross, 808 State, Malcolm McClaren, Skinny Puppy, Goldfrapp, LCD Soundsystem to name a few and on over 300 records! 
 
Much of the new dance crowd that goes to hear Justin DJ today, doesn’t necessarily know his history; they simply love his spinning because he always keeps them dancing and surprised, seamlessly mixing between choice classics, delectable rarities and innovative beats. For Justin, no genre or style is off-limits – he can and will mix anything, so long as he can keep the crowd enthralled. His self-proclaimed mission is “connecting the dots” between what might otherwise seem disparate musical periods and styles, while introducing exciting new sounds. He does so with infectious passion, subverting preconceptions about what’s old and new, and inspiring young DJs with his masterful skill and ever-youthful spirit.
 
But Justin Strauss doesn’t stop there. As half of the production duos, Whatever/Whatever and A/JUS/TED, he continued to produce and mix records, working on remixes for the likes of Hot Chip, William Onyeabor,LCD Soundsystem, Blood Orange, Holy Ghost!, Franz Ferdinand, Beyonce. Working on new projects Extra Credit with Joe Goddard of Hot Chip & Marcus Marr, and with Max Pask under their Each Other moniker, whose debut E.P.’s were mixed by Soulwax and released on their Deewee label, with new releases coming soon. Touring the world Dj’ing at Panorama Bar in Berlin, Robert Johnson in Frankfurt, Zunkunft in Zurich to name a few.  In fact, he doesn’t stop at all.”

"Deon Jamar is a Detroit native whose roots stem from the crates of family.

Coming from a household where his father was a DJ, turntables and records were always around. 

It was in his discovery of Detroit's underground where he found the inspiration to follow in his father's footsteps.

 

Deon’s DJ career began in 2015 as resident DJ & organizer for the monthly hip-hop showcase "Bluecollar Gentleman". 

During this time he would also begin working with Theo Parrish to promote the Music Gallery party series and also working behind the scenes for the Sound Signature record label. This work would culminate in a co-curation role for the DJ Kicks compilation “Detroit Forward” (K7 Records) where he enlisted hometown artists to represent the progressive sounds of today. His track, 

"North End Funk", was selected to join the mix, making his production credit debut..


Aside from just playing gigs, Deon also enjoys programming events of his own such as the "Healin' Session" party series and the music and art exhibition, "Black Music".


Black Music has since evolved into the home for Deon's original productions. 

Launching the label with his debut album, “Altars”."
