vssoundclash: Recently named one of SF Weekly’s “Top 10 Bands on the Rise” DJ Theory has been making some serious noise. Here’s what they had to say about one of SF’s most talented DJs: Tropical sounds are once again moving crowds. Moombahton — the curious new dance music genre that started when DJs slowed hyperactive Dutch house music down to a reggaeton-like groove — is definitely having a moment, and steel drums are skittering high atop whomp-whomp beats. DJ Theory is one of the Bay’s main proponents of this tropical bass movement, but his unflagging energy and genre versatility placed him firmly on our 2012 breakthrough list. “As a teen, I wore out the repeat button on my Discman to Pink Floyd’s ‘Comfortably Numb,’” the 26-year-old Massachusetts native told us, as he sipped from a raw coconut, no lie. “But a list of music that means the most to me would include Bob Marley, Augustus Pablo, Wu Tang, and Operation Ivy.” Besides throwing down ubiquitously at Bay Area joints, Theory hosts a regular party called the INTL at Public Works, and is in the process of releasing a slew of remixes and tracks, including some tasty collaborations with SF production hero J-Boogie. Description of sound: All genres aside, I’m simply going for something that hits me in the right spot, and can hopefully turn others on too. I like to think of it as music for the body and the dancefloor. It can be very soulful, but often heavy and throbbing with bass. I love all kinds of music. With so much inspiration out there it’s hard to classify “my sound”. Check him out this Saturday at VS as he goes head to head with J.Espoinosa! RSVP@VSSoundClash.com for guestlist.
