JKIND

J-KIND is a DJ/Producer residing in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. His diverse and eclectic style transcends many genres and is currently focused on his burning passion for techno. When listening to a J-KIND mix, listeners are guaranteed a thrilling exploration of various emotions, set to relentless, stomping, and oftentimes, funky beats. Whether it's deep, introspective, jazzy, urgent, or imperative, your neck will move to the beat once he whips up a frenzy on the dance floor with his bottomless crate of jewels. The style of J-KIND is influenced by many artists from the 1990s era, including Daniel Bell, Terry Francis, Richie Hawtin, and Mark Farina. He began his career in 2001 with underground raves and parties throughout San Francisco Bay and has since traveled to Europe and beyond. In San Francisco, he pioneered many underground parties, including a residency at Bad Habits (now at Monroe), Temple, Bubble Lounge, and Tanil, as well as guest appearances with Uniting Souls. In addition to being a resident DJ for the Airpusher Collective Burning Man group, he also held a residency at Wish Bar & Lounge before it closed in 2020. He currently has a monthly residency at Ibiza Stardust Radio. In addition to his quest for new sounds, you can be assured that regardless of whether he's spinning vinyl or using CDJs, you'll notice what he describes as "the beauty and power of DJ'ing – the ability to mix two tracks so creatively and uniquely that a new song is born." His first EP, "Beautiful Life" was released in 2015 on Mioli Music and is available on Beatport, Spotify, and iTunes, and his single “Change of Tides” is a melodic techno success! More releases coming in 2023 with the launch of the new Bay Area record label, Yes! Records. As his sound continues to resonate through the San Francisco Bay and beyond, be assured any party with J-KIND on the bill will be an event not to miss.
