Josh Dupont has the cure for what ails you.  Attentive and well versed in the ways of merry- and music-making, the veteran DJ/producer is an indispensable staple to Houston’s nightlife.  When he isn’t running the reins of label Nightshade Music, Dupont spends his time doctoring Houston’s sinfully hungover with generous doses of nu-disco every Sunday at Royal Oak, in the vibrant neighborhood known as Montrose. Unwavering in purpose, Josh makes regular house calls in the wee hours of the morning at Houston’s famed afterhours club, Rich’s, and teams up with fellow DJ James Reed at Boondock’s for their new panty-dropping monthly, Kinda Super Disco. And when partnered with producer-in-crime Daelo, the pair does for nu-disco what Tom Selleck did for the moustache - reintroducing timeless favorites with seductive, fresh flavor.  Armed with a goodie bag of elixirs, Josh Dupont is truly a favorite amongst favorites.

You know Dirtybird for dropping basslines and creating smiles on the dance floor since January 2005.

The fun family vibe of the Dirtybird label can be traced back to a free event started in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. This new kind of house music went against the smooth vocal house that was popular at the time and derived its influences mostly from hip-hop, drum n bass, and American funk. The free outdoor BBQ party was very rough around the edges but eventually became legendary amongst the people of San Francisco. This event was also a very influential factor in the decision by Claude VonStroke to start the record label in 2005.

Today, Dirtybird has offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles and has expanded into events and tour production. As it grows, the brand continues to expand beyond music into merchandise, licensing and artist management. In 2015, Dirtybird launched the inaugural Dirtybird Campout festival, which has been dubbed “Summer Camp For Adults”, and Dirtybird has been recognized from their achievements by being awarded "Underground Label of the Year" at the International Dance Music Awards, “Label of the Decade” by Mixmag, “Best North American Label” by DJ Mag, and Billboard’s "Top 5 Independent Dance Labels".

Founded by producer, composer and entrepreneur Paul Beahan in late 2006, Manimal Vinyl Records has quickly established itself a unique leader in all things underground with a distinct pop element that allows for commerical crossover. Having scored hits with releases from Bat for Lashes (2007), Warpaint (2009, Jenny O. (2011), Chains of Love (2012) and Yoko Ono (2016) and a slew of non-profit tribute records to artists ranging from Madonna, The Cure, David Bowie and Duran Duran, Manimal continues through today with many groundbreaking new artists all over the globe having expanded into TV, Motion Pictures and live events with sister companies Calabasas Films + Media and Maliwu Festival.

Henry Chow's productions lie at the musical intersection of a fine souffle and the most thorough enhanced TSA security groping. Always known for timeless funky bass lines and outer space melodies, Henry started the DJ voyage in 1996.

With his b-boy roots, his music interests started with hip hop, funk, and rare grooves, and expanded to include house, drum 'n bass, and eventually techno. He began buying techno music for Chemistry Records, where record store employee Tim Xavier would sneak Chow records to listen to.

By the turn of the millennium, he had started playing on the MKULTRA radio show on Rice University's KTRU 91.7 FM on a regular basis, and then moved on to throwing a string of warehouse parties featuring his raw, percussion-driven techno sound. Along the way, Henry released records on, among other labels, Marco Carola's Zenit imprint, that brought him gigs through out the States and overseas.

With his mind blown by one fateful visit to the Robert Johnson club during a tour through Germany, Henry came back to Houston to set the stage for what would eventually become a new musical direction in the studio, and a new series of events under the name Crossroads along with his friend Sasha Braverman. Together they have hosted one of Texas' longest running monthly parties, bringing to town some of the best talent from around the world.

Constantly reuniting new and classic sounds, Henry's DJ sets keep dance floors captivated and moved all night long.
  

Co-founder of Kinda Super Disco and Cirque Noir.
