DJ Name: Goldilox
Hometown: Small town in Maine near Canada.
Trademark saying or philosophy toward your music life:
I have a sound I want others to hear, my sound is still the same
though no matter what styles are popular. It's a beat that flows
through me, comes from me, and will never cease. I also feel that
a dj should know about sound, and how to work a sound system.
The job of a dj is more than just playing records. You're the
captain, at the wheel of the ship that everybody is dancing in.
I'm also involved in party throwing as well, and very much involved
in the scene. I think that's important.
What kind of music do you spin? Crack House (my special
blend of edgy funky sexy dark house music)
Where do you spin regularly? The Endup
- SF, Amnesia - SF, Mighty - SF, numerous undergound
parties

Speedbass, Spaz Records, Numerous complilations and records in

of been Depeche Mode's Speak and Spell or Nina
Hagen's Nunsexmonkrock.
Most influential record(s) in your life: Depeche Mode,
NIN, Blondie, Front 242, etc.
When did you first DJ? In Mt. Shasta in 1997
What made you want to be a DJ? Clubbing in Canada in my
teen years and hanging out in the DJ booth. I knew then. I started
buying records with the first money I ever had.
Will you always be a DJ? Yes. and produce music.
What is your most memorable performance of your DJ career?
Burning Man, playing to an endless sea of people on Friday
and Saturday nights, over the last several years.
Do you play CDs as well as vinyl? No, as long as there
is vinyl i will play it. I never got into CD's and now I enjoy
hard drive music and Internet radio. Records are designed for
performance and I enjoy playing them.
All Time Top Five Records: NIN's first record,
Blondie's Heart of Glass extended version, Nitzer
Ebb's "Belief," and all the records that have a
several year stint in my gig record box.
Who in your opinion are the Bay Area's Top Five DJs? Laird,
Adnan, all the Brass Tax DJ's including me!
Most annoying thing that you have experienced from clubbers:
A hand on the shoulder or back will get my friendly attention
if I can't see someone in a crowd. Pulling hair or clothes, jabbing,
pinching, slapping, and punching is a common greeting these days.
I'm getting better about it, but I don't like having conversations
when I am dj'ing. I'll hang out when I am done!
Most suprisingly nice thing that you have had happen from club
goers: One person gave me a giant quartz rock after a set
which I still have. Also when a new friend of mine showed up just
to give me a record he just released and catch my set. Another
time the crowd started chanting "Goldie better than Oakie"
when Oakenfold and I were playing at the same time at different
camps at Burning Man.
If there was a hurricane and an earthquake headed for Frisco
and you had to quickly grab one or more records what would it/they
be? I would grab my gig record box. It would stop me from
flying away in the hurricane and I could still play the afterparty.
