DJ GARTH

First of the Wicked crew to call San Francisco home, Garth has spent three decades fanning the flames of conscious hell-raising in California. His sound is a unique fusion of Acid House and Psyche Disco. He has produced more than 60 records mostly on his own labels Grayhound, Wicked and Golden Goose. His remixes include everyone from Strafe, The Units, Tribe Called Quest, Faithless, Perry Farrell, Yabby You and Adam Freeland. Bringing UK sound system culture to San Francisco in 1991, Wicked’s lawless full moon beach parties ushered in an era of Acid House hysteria that ripped through the west coast and spread into the heartland. Their club nights showcased the cream of early House music luminaries including first ever west coast appearances of Harvey, Francois K and many others. For years Garth and crew toured the U.S. in a customized 1947 Greyhound bus with imported Turbosound system. Garth was first to set up renegade sound at Burning Man and Reggae on the River festivals. In 2016 Time Out NY placed Garth and Wicked crew in the Top 10 Best House DJs Of All Time alongside Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy, Masters at Work and Tony Humphries. Garth stays true to the original art form playing extended vinyl sets at clubs and festivals around the world. He is also an accomplished TV and film actor.
