Garth has been giving San Francisco nightlife the run-around for almost
two decades where parties with his stamp are known for easy vibes and
jaw-dropping music. Wicked, Come Unity, the Full Moons, Roots &
Back2Back have all played their part in sustaining the flames of
conscious hell raising that existed here in generations past.
Those
free full moon beach parties ushered in an era of Acid House hysteria
that ripped through the west coast and spread into the heartland. The
Wicked crew are credited widely with having kick started the city's
dance scene in the early 90's furthering its reputation as the red
headed step child of Disco.
Scoring a custom designed Turbosound
rig and a 1947 Greyhound bus whose previous owners were a gospel choir,
Wicked hit the road spreading their own gospel to seekers across the
States being first to set up renegade sound at Burning Man & Reggae
on the River festivals.
The same bus provided inspiration to
start his own record label in '98. With over 50 singles under the belt
Grayhound has been a constant thorn in the side of predictable House
fodder whilst documenting the edgier sound of Cali's thriving
underground.
His breakout anthem 'Twenty Minutes of Disco Glory'
shook things up internationally & he now has more than 40 singles
to his name. He has worked with or remixed artists as diverse as
Faithless, Darryl Pandy, Eric James, Markie Mark, ETI, Jeno, The
Glimmers, Ray Mang, Dada Munchamonkey, Nick Holder, Perry Farrell
(Janes Addiction), Yabby You, Robbie Shakespeare and Tribe Called
Quest. He's recorded collectable mix CDs for Om, NRK, Thrive &
Grayhound.
More recently he and old mate/collector James Glass
fronted the Golden Goose re-edit label, raiding their record
collections & respectfully placing Disco/Rock obscurities under the
knife as King & Hound.
As well as regular guest spots DJing
around the States including Harvey's ThirtyNineHotel in Hawaii, he
plays many of the world's best clubs lugging his favorite vinyl to
Japan, Korea, Spain, England, Greece, Portugal, France, Germany,
Mexico, Canada, Australia, Singapore, even Indonesia & Malaysia,
turning parties out upon request.
On the home front in San
Francisco he throws celebrated monthly shindig Back2Back with his
right-hand man Jeno. Nobody gets hurt.
