SEE EVENT DETAILS
DJ ONIONZ
Music is in the genetic code of Andrew Venegas know globally as the in demand DJ/producer ONIONZ.
A recognized New York legend, ONIONZ was immersed in a world of music literatlly from birth with his Jazz icon father, Victor Venegas playing upright bass in the company of Jazz legends Mongo Santamaria, Tito Puente and Celia Cruz in the 1970’s and early 80’s. Prior to entering his teens Andrew was appearing in front of thousands in New York City playing percussion with amazing artists such as Dave Amram, Candido, Steve Berrios, Paquito DeRivera and childhood friend Adam Cruz. Evolving across to electronic music, in 1982 ONIONZ hands were on his first set of turntables and the rest is history. ONIONZ's early gigs were characterized as legendary nights and early mornings at almost every NYC venue imaginable. Production wise, ONINONZ has released over a staggering 200 singles and remixes over the last 15 years in the studio. His status on the decks is set in stone while his unfathomable understanding of sound and musically creating an emotion has awarded him international recognition in the world of electronic dance music.
With the establishment of his own label Electrik Soul in 1994 and his solid production work gaining attention ONIONZ continues to take the dance music scene to the next dimension.
DJ M3
DJ M3 aka Manny is a major influence in SF’s music scene. Launching the Green Gorilla Lounge DJ crew and record label in the 90s, which organized and played many of SF’s most notable underground events. Manny was soul proprietor of Lower Haight’s vinyl music boutique ‘Black Pancakes’, which led to the opening of the The Triple Crown nightclub and now his most recent collaborative project Monarch. M3 continues to rock San Francisco and looks forward to upcoming music release in early 2014, with Sleight of Hands on Smoke N' Mirrors.
Benjamin Vallery
Benjamin “BodyRock” Vallery’s sound delivers darkness with moments of lightness, maintaining momentum and going the distance. His sets sprint like predators across the night, hunting down the beat, then disappearing before you can catch them, creating an undeniable dancefloor unity in his wake that motivates him personally to continually improve. His energy is notorious, and he’s fond of creating environments that burst with personality, unusual samples and ringing percussions. His style encapsulates Detroit hustle (tech), Chicago flair (deep house), Oakland swagger (funk) and New York success (vocals and highs). No wonder he feels right at home in San Francisco, a city technologically adept enough to hold all his attributes.
His SoCal collective, The BodyRockDJs, is influenced by Benjamin’s West Coast travels and stays in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. His residency with Forward SF propelled him to new creative heights, alongside the legendary and beloved Adnan Sharif, founder and DJ for Forward SF. His productions and co-productions catalogue is soon to grow. Receiving some worldwide recognition for the vinyl and digital “L.A. Loves You” EP in 2006—with remixes by Justin Martin and Broken Home—was helpful for getting him booked repeatedly in Japan, as well as in Mexico. Ben’s dedication to the underground culture and scenes in L.A. and S.F. has created a pillar of respect for him as a DJ and promoter along the “Best Coast” and beyond.
Curiously known as “Grandma,” Benjamin’s bravado is anything but retiring. Just wait until Grandma has you in his claws
