MIKE GIANNINI Bio
Born on the East Coast and raised in Los Angeles, MIKE GIANNINI has been carefully developing his soulful, tribal tech house signature since he was a teenager, eventually becoming entrenched in the Los Angeles underground.
Los Angeles' electronic music culture was especially good to Mike, but in the early 90's he parted from LA to California's Central Coast to escape the smog. His days were spent working out of a dusty mom-and-pop record store called Boo Boo Records, ordering every 12" that he could get his hands on. "I don't think I ever walked home with a paycheck," Mike chuckles. "If it was good, it was comin' home with me..." Quickly, Mike began playing a pivotal role in shaping the sounds and culture of the Central Coast. He began promoting top tracks on local radio stations and playing underground parties. Boo Boo's became the one-stop-shop for DJ's. "To tell the truth," Mike says, "It started with me needing some new needles. Next thing I know, I'm unpacking Technics and boxes of DJ bags, clothing, mixers...you name it..."
You would expect that Mike's sound was influenced by pioneering DJs that he was exposed to throughout the late 80's and early 90's, but that wasn't the case. His true sound was being tuned not from DJs, nor from his buying experience at Boo Boo's, but from his coworkers. "There were long-timers at Boo Boo's who exposed me to music sounds and samples that I had never heard before: Latin acoustics, Salsa, Funk, Spoken Word, Soul, Gospel, Jazz...Without a doubt they changed the way I look at music..."
Invitations to spin at a variety of prestigious SF nightspots have been pouring in since his move to San Francisco in 1998, including world-renowned venues Ruby Skye, Ten15, and Mezzanine. But Mike has always stayed true to his roots, maintaining his distinctive tribal tech recipe by blending funky, tribal, progressive and tech house styles.
SF-based Thump Radio recruited Mike as a resident in 2003, utilizing his talent to produce mixes for Radio shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as XM Radio Channel 80 "The Move". Also in 2003, Mixed Elements, one of San Francisco's premier promotion companies, announced Mike's residency with that organization. In order to bring world-class dance music to the thriving nightlife community in Russia, entertainment group Ray Reason Music began bringing US-based DJ talent to Moscow early in 2004. Ray Reason sought out Mike Giannini for bookings at top Moscow venues in Spring 2004 and Winter 2005. Fall 2004 and 2005 saw Mike's participation in the San Francisco Love Parade, the first ever of its kind in the United States.
Working out of his South of Market-based studio in San Francisco, Mike has produced three new tracks, each a collaboration with other SF-based producers. "Far West", produced with Kramer, is a floor-pounding tribal number with soaring electro synths. "Round That Track", a collaboration with BaLi and John Doe, is a chunky, bouncy rework of Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl". Mike's third production is an upbeat, progressive house tune called "Music Rhythm", which he produced with DRC, and which features DRC's vocals. Mike is currently seeking to release these productions on US and international labels.
Mike packs each DJ set with a good dose of emotion, consistently delivering solid programming and smooth mixing. His sound is chunky, funky and soulful, with a percussive, tech-oriented edge; always uplifting and energetic, with solid kicks and over-sized bass lines.
When asked if he gets nervous before each set, he said, "Sure I get anxious," he pauses, "but, I just look down at my crate, pull my first record, and just start playing..."

On Fri, Jan 18, INCOGNITO Debuts at KING KING with a DOUBLE HEADLINER*
First, DJ Erphun has been making a name for himself by playing regularly at some of the US�s top clubs from LA, Miami to Vegas, on top of being one of the most prolific producers of recent, with support from Gabriel & Dresden, Tiefschwarz, Marcus Schulz, etc. Steve Lawler signed him up under Viva music, and Erphun has been bringing out epic after epic release that can only come from a techno/house/electronica genius.
Secondly, DJ Mike Giannini is the resident of Mixed Elements and The Deep End. He is a DJ that has been tearing up the SF scene with his distinctive tribal tech recipe of blending funky, tribal, progressive and electro house. Whether he plays mainroom sets at Ruby Sky, 1015, Mezzanine, etc or spinning at Thump Radio, WMC, Hawaii and Russia, or producing monstrous tracks with Kramer, Workforce, and DRC, DJ Mike Giannini is a force to be reckoned with and he finally debuts in LA on Jan 18.

ERPHUN (Er-Fun) - a Farsi word meaning the state of being or the ability to be on a higher spiritual level.
The best way to introduce Ali Zaree (ERPHUN) and his career is to illustrate exactly the way he feels when he is spinning and how this feeling came to be. Whether for a group of friends at a small gathering or for hundreds of people at a club, ERPHUN's passion for spinning is ever growing and evolving.
ERPHUN has been spinning for over six years. It began two days after his birthday, June 24th 2000, at Spundae in San Francisco when ERPHUN was exposed to an event, which inspired him and changed the course of his life. He received his calling as he watched Sasha and Digweed spin one of their many mesmerizing sets. Completely new to the scene, ERPHUN watched in awe and felt first hand the energy that bound the screaming fans to the two DJs. He knew instantly the path his life was meant to take.
While still attending UCSB, ERPHUN purchased two decks and a mixer, and began building his record collection. His earliest music stylings included the genres of house, trance, and tribal, eventually guiding ERPHUN's interest into deep progressive house, and more recently tech house and electro.
Fueled by his passion to become a successful DJ, ERPHUN taught himself how to spin by observing every top DJ that came to Los Angeles. Before long, he landed his first major gig on Halloween at Santa Barbara's most happening spot, Qs and later on at another hot spot, Mad House. After realizing that he had achieved all that he could in his DJ career in Santa Barbara, ERPHUN moved to Los Angeles a year later. He began networking and immersed himself in the LA underground scene. Local promoters and fellow DJs recognized his abilities and he landed his first major gig and two residencies. The gig was a 4th of July party for Spundae in Los Angeles in 2002. ERPHUN's first residencies included Naked and Hotel California which enabled him to play at some of the biggest clubs across the country: Sevilla (Las Vegas), Broadway (San Diego), Voodoo Lounge (Las Vegas), Risque (Las Vegas, New Year's Eve 2004), and the Shelbourne Hotel (Miami, Winter Music Conference in 2003). After finishing a very memorable residency at Flirt in Hollywood, and a series of gigs at some of the most popular clubs in Los Angeles, ERPHUN turned his attention to producing and met various eclectic and exciting talented professionals along the way. Erphun drew upon his musical skills, influences and experiences, and fine tuned his ears, abilities, talent and experience for producing Tech House, and Electro.
