Brass Tax, Angels of bAss performance & special event DJ — multi-genre selector specializing in bass-heavy, hip-shaking, smile-making beats.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A Bay Area native, Haute Mess (aka Kristen Sunde) began her journey as DJ and promoter in 2011 while hosting San Francisco's wacked-out monthly: Romper Room. Wild experimentation with every genre gave birth to the Haute Mess sound — accessible bass-heavy beats that send hips in motion and spread smiles across dance floors.

Joining the underground party crew Brass Tax in 2012 kicked off a Haute Mess booty-shaking beat parade across the Bay Area— including monthly residencies at Amnesia, Bootie Mash-Up at the DNA Lounge, and billings at super-extravaganzas like Beats for Boobs, Supper of Survivors, Breakfast of Champions, Dirtybird Campout, and LoveBoat. In 2016 she was invited to join the all-female DJ collective Angels of bAss and began weaving her eclectic styles with producing successful philanthropic events benefiting women’s causes.

Whether it’s warming up a discerning audience with nu disco, ramping up a festival with funky tech house, or making hearts a’flutter with sexy breaks at the peak of the night, Haute Mess hits the right note in an array of environments, bringing her dynamic flavors to special events and nightclubs in the Bay Area and beyond.

My tastes vary, as well as my mixing styles. Sometimes deep and thoughtful - other times dirty funky and a bit raw. Frequency can heal and create change. Music and deep community are the way.  Love.
