G!BBY
A Loved local DJ of the Central Coast, Zach Gibson, AKA GIBBY comes from a small town just outside of Chicago. At a young age his soul found refuge in the underground clubs and warehouses throughout the big city where his love for dance music grew. It wasn’t until he moved to the Central Coast of California in his mid 20s that he truly found his own path in playing music, specifically passionate for the House and Techno sound. Due to his deep calling for adventure and a strong ambition to see the world, in 2012 G!BBY packed his things and headed out west to begin a new life in the mountains of Big Sur. As his new community grew and new friends became family, G!BBY found himself attending local parties, events, and festivals throughout California where he would inevitably find his place as a DJ amongst the greatest in House and Techno.  G!BBY now stands as a long time resident and co-founder of LuvLab Productions and you can find him laying down the funkiest beats at local favorites in the Chicago area and up and down the entire West Coast. 
G!BBYs style is based primarily on the music he enjoys listening to everyday, a mix of extremely sexy bass lines and hypnotic melodies. While he never plans out a specific set list, his unique sound is based solely on the energy provided by the crowd. His mission within every set is to free the audiences mind and let the bodies explode with movement and dance in celebration of life and luv. He provides a vast collective of sound and finds inspiration and influence from various artists such as Mikey Lion and the entire Desert Hearts Crew, Lee Burridge, Seth Troxler, Justin Martin, Gorge, and many others. He also pays much respect and thanks to his immediate LuvLab family of musicians including local heroes Kevin Dayspring, Jose Madre and Juan Travolta. You can currently find G!BBY and his contagious smile brightening up the coastline with his groovy tunes in San Luis Obispo, California. Bringing people together as ONE in the spirit of music will always be his driving force. 
“Stay Humble. Expect nothing and accept everything!” Is the motto he stands by.
