Core Element 2025

Originally blasted like a rhinoplastic red-nose-job blob out of the volcanic cannon of San Francisco's explosive electro-live hybrid music scene, The Klown — now headquartered in Las Vegas — brings a singular sense of humor, whimsy, and irreverence to bass musics of various kinds, like it or not, with a special menage-a-trois proclivity toward breaks, glitch, global bass, nu funk, and swing hop. Disguised as the premiere third-place DJ, he not-so-wantonly throws everything and anything into the sonic blender of thump, force-feeding humans precarious doses of spring-loaded, snake-in-a-can, glitch-dub-hop-step-swing bass cocktails. Like it! Eat it!

Through his various and sundry exploits, The Klown has shared stages with all manner of yahooze, from 50-cent to Gooferman to Bart & Baker to Vau de Vire Society. His festival credits include Bumbershoot, Burning Man, Download Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, For The Funk Of It, Lightning In A Bottle, Love Fest, Super Bowl XLII, Symbiosis, Vegoose, The Edwardian Ball, and many more. Along with DJing regularly, for 7 years he also produced and held a residence at the internationally acclaimed electroswing / burlesque showcase dance party, TRAPEZE Worldwide. He performs in hybrid and one-klown band configurations, and appears regularly with SF-based indie circus Vau de Vire Society.
