Garth/Rocket/Crosstown Traffic Bio:
Garth has been giving San Francisco nightlife the run-around for almost two decades where parties with his stamp are known for great 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 adding to 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 and were also the first to set up sound systems at Burning Man & Reggae on the River.
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 easy listening House, documenting the real sound of many of Cali's under-rated producers. 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, Markie Mark, ETI, The Glimmers, Ray Mang, Dada Munchamonkey, Perry Farrell (Janes Addiction), Yabby You, Robbie Shakespeare and Tribe Called Quest. He's recorded memorable mix CDs for Om, NRK, Thrive & Grayhound.
His latest label Golden Goose re-edits was born in 2007 with Garth and James Glass raiding their record collections, placing select Disco obscurities under the knife as King & Hound.
In addition to revolving guest spots at Harvey's ThirtyNineHotel in Honolulu, 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 he throws a revered monthly shindig called Back2Back in San Francisco with his right hand man Jeno. Nobody gets hurt.
