James Glass
James Glass grew up in London and was exposed to Top of the Pops and John Peel's venerable radio shows, both of which turned him onto the fresh sounds of punk and new wave. His affinity for soul, jazz funk and disco, however, came from listening to the rapidly-growing pirate radio stations such as LWR and Horizon. These influences were heightened further when he decided to move to New York in the late '80s, an area long associated with limitless possibilities for anyone with a passion for underground dance music. For the last 20 years, though, he's called the San Francisco Bay Area home where the rock/dance hybrid has once again captivated his ears. During his time in San Francisco, James Glass has been instrumental in helping to define the uniquely eclectic sounds of the early '90s club scene. He provided a more soulful, grounded alternative to thump-thump rave beats and inadvertently exposed dancers to the origins of '90s club music. His intricately-assembled DJ sets are mixed with rare '70s soul, disco and early house -- the gritty, raw sounds that inspire his production style and obsessive dedication to genuine music that has no expiration date. In addition to playing West Coast gigs, he also runs two record labels, Golden Goose and Grimy.
Glass and partner DJ Garth of the legendary Wicked parties have been releasing their own left-field and cosmic rock edits on Golden Goose since 2005 under the name King & Hound. The Grimy label, which he runs with partner Zernell Gillie, a highly revered Chicago DJ, focuses on underground disco edits. As always with Z Records, the masters sound as good as possible, so if you're a fan of compilations from BBE or Dimitri From Paris and Z Records' Soul of Disco CDs, then this will not disappoint.
Robert Jeffrey
Robert Jeffrey moved to the Bay Area in 2008 and immediately became infatuated with the nightlife scene. He frequented Booty Call Wednesdays. It was then that he decided to try his hand at DJing and he never looked back. Rising quickly among the club scene, Robert Jeffrey graced the decks of such institutions as Bearracuda, Honey Soundsystem, Lights Down Low and Housepitality along with residencies at Big Top, Odyssey, Ms. White, and Booty Call Wednesdays. He also was involved in the creation of Butch Queen and Dial Up, and was recruited to be half of the late great Viennetta Discotheque parties. Being invited to play in Seattle and multiple parties in NYC, Robert Jeffrey holds court wherever he goes. His energy behind the decks clearly transcends onto the dance floor. Currently, Robert Jeffrey is part of the Soo Wavey Records Crew (SF).
