Off the dance floor, Pedro shares his inspiration in musically possibilities by teaching music production to aspiring electronic musicians at the prestigious Pyramind Training Music & Audio Production School in San Francisco. https://www.soundcloud.com/pedroarbulu https://www.facebook.com/pedroarbulumusic http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/pedroarbulu -- Benjamin Jorgens, US (MODULAR) Hailing from the massive musical wonderland of Spokane, WA. Benjamin Jorgens has been hitting the decks with a frantic galloping motion for 6 years. He used to play original, live music, til' taking a turn for the worst since moving to the most impractical city on earth for a live musician, San Francisco, CA, where he mostly just plays Pharrell remixes while drinking, heavily. He’s opened for big name heavy hitters above and below the ground, like Stephan Bodzin, Kolombo, Sascha Braemer, Oliver Koletzski, Sebastien Leger, Hoj, Super Flu, Nicone, James Pants. Mux Mool, Dark Party etc. All of those guys are fucking cool, so he’s obviously cool too, by association, right? Anyway, I know you don’t read bios anyway, because you have way better things to do with your time. Get outta here you mongrel! ------------------------------------------ JOill (BASE, Modular, DJ Social Collective, The Battery) JOill, Detroit-bred, has been calling San Francisco his home since 2001. His name is a combination of the classic American name, "JO", combined with his Korean roots & middle name,"ill", which, let’s face it, sounds awesome in any language. JOill has been performing since 1986. His background & training as a jazz saxophonist granted him the soulful musical comprehension that he would later incorporate into his dance music career. The concrete jungle classrooms of Chicago and Detroit were geographically accessible in his development and gave him the urban exposure that can’t be taught on paper, giving him the edge he needed to break into electronic music. For nearly 20 years, JOill has been creating "the good vibe," on the dance floor as a DJ with multifaceted selections that vary with his surroundings. While today his sound is certainly deep-and-tech house focused, Soul, Indie Clash and Nu-Disco elements are sure to surface when the moment permits. Overall, JOill makes it clear that creating an infectious groove prevails above any attempt to stay within genre lines. It’s his commitment to this fundamental ideal that’s landed him residencies with some of San Francisco’s most reputable nightlife staples, including the acclaimed BASE nights at Vessel, members-only club The Battery, and DJ collective powerhouse, Modular. Using SF as his jumping-off point has led to gigs at some of the world’s most reputable festivals & clubs (including BPM, Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, Burning Man, Vessel, Audio, Monarch, Public Works, Harlot & SupperClub) playing alongside electronic music royalty like Damian Lazarus, M.A.N.D.Y, BLOND:ISH, Stil Vor Talent, Adriatique and Infinity Ink…to name only a few. Next up for this emerging artist is a European tour this summer. Keep an eye out for JOill in the spotlights of cities like London, Amsterdam, Florence, Rome, Berlin, Sofia, Paris, Barcelona and Madrid, where he’ll surely impart his magic of reminding crowds what it feels like to truly connect with a DJ.
