David Harness
David Harness is one of the most popular DJ/producers in the San Francisco Bay Area club scene. He has been described as ‘a man who lives, breathes and emanates everything that is beautiful about deep house music and classic garage.’ David is considered a ‘rising star’ within the dance community. As a military brat, David Harness traveled the world extensively during his childhood. ‘Regardless of which country I was in, I always heard American music, namely R&B. This little bit of familiarity really helped me feel secure in a lot of different places.’ With influences varying from Barry White and the Love Unlimited Orchestra, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Quincy Jones, the Jackson Five, Stevie Wonder, Parliament Funkadelic, the Isley Brothers and First Choice, it is easy to see why funk and soul have always been strong elements in his sound. In 1990, David began DJ’ing at the After Dark in his hometown of Monterey, California. As his popularity grew past the boundaries of Monterey, he was invited to establish a residency at Tilt and the Sound Factory in San Francisco. In 1994, David opened and DJ’ed at the hip and popular club Lift at Club Dv8 in San Francisco. His success as a club DJ led to a DJ spot on commercial radio. In 1994, David joined the popular radio show Your Mama’s House on the San Francisco Bay Area’s number one radio station KMEL FM. Your Mama’s House was the only ‘true’ house mix show on any major radio station in Northern California. As part of the Your Mama’s House crew, David played a key role in exposing the masses to House Music in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1995 David kicked off a seven year residency at San Francisco ‘s legendary Club Universe — San Francisco’s hottest Saturday night party. At Club Universe, David had the opportunity to play with many New York’s legendary DJs like Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, Little Louie Vega, Tedd Patterson, Dave Morales, Danny Teneglia, London’s Ricky Morrison, Los Angeles’ Marques Wyatt, San Francisco’s Miguel Migs, Mark Farina and Kaskade — just to name a few. His growing popularity accelerated David’s natural progression into production. In 1996, David was selected to spearhead the studio production for a national marketing campaign for the McDonald’s Deluxe Burger. Also in 1996, David begin his ongoing residency at The End Up Sunday T-Dance — San Francisco’s longest running dance party. In 1998, he released a CD for Universe Sounds and Twisted America, ‘Welcome to the Universe’. This innovative CD, recorded live from Club Universe, reflects San Francisco’s unique ‘sound’ and introduced the world to David Harness. Recognizing his talent, Twisted America quickly signed him to produce his first single, ‘Get It Together’, for a Twisted America compilation entitled ‘A Little Bit of the Old, A Lot of the New’. David also started his ongoing residency at Fag Fridays in San Francisco in 1998 where he is still rockin’ the floor. In 1999, David started Taboo in San Francisco’s Mission District. Taboo started out of David’s love of House music and his desire to provide a showcase for Bay Area talent as well as internationally known DJs. This ongoing party attracts a loyal crowd of househeads from around the San Francisco Bay Area and the globe to the weekly blending of spirit and soul. In September 2000, David launched DHJ Productions and has established himself as a respected producer and remixer. To date, David has worked on projects featuring artists such as Mary J. Blige, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Simply Red, Alicia Keys, Floetry, Donnie McClurkin, India Arie, *NSYNC and Donnell Jones. A collaborative effort with DJ/producers Chris Lum of Abitare Music, Jay J of Moulton Studios, and Charles Spencer of LoveSlap has resulted in several independent releases. David has appeared in articles and interviews in Billboard Magazine, Paper Magazine, Surface, XLR8R, Streetsounds, Sweater, HX, Next, URB, DJ Mag and the SF Bay Guardian. David Harness’ passion, talent and creativity has definitely created a new page in the history of house music.

Chris Lum
Chris Lum is the man behind the Moulton Media operation and a mainstay of the San Francisco dance music scene for the last 2 decades. Lum moved to the city in 1993 after three years of moving and shaking in Los Angeles, his home city, where he dj’ed and helped open and run the famous Beat Non Stop store there. His first port of call in SF was at the counter of the famous, and sadly missed, BPM Records on Polk and Post, a marble’s throw from the Moulton complex. At BPM Chris slung records, ordered the cream of domestic dance music of that era, and advised fledgling djs and newcomers to the scene and the city about what to spin and how to spin it.
Ever the gracious assistant, Chris was never one to play politics as he was always too busy playing music. This is the most refreshing thing about a man who continues to ponder and strategize the best route for Moulton Media and for San Francisco’s music scene in general. Though his capacity for being a consultant is significant, his capabilities as a dj, producer, remixer and teacher are formidable also and these have led him to collaborate with the likes of world-renowned house music producer Jay-J Hernandez, to have his productions released on labels like Defected, Strictly Rhythm, Tango and Mastercuts among many, many others. First and foremost a dj, Lum’s production success has allowed him to DJ all over the globe in clubs like Ministry of Sound, Pacha and large festivals like The Southport Weekender (UK) and Field Day (Australia). Lastly, his proficiency in the studio has made possible a vibrant remix resume including his Grammy Nominated remix for Jill Scott, as well as others like Luther Vandross, Kathy Brown, Aretha Franklin, Jamie Fox and Alicia Keys. On top of all this he is also the owner of Moulton Media (M2), has taught music production technique in both San Francisco and Australia, has been a mix and editing engineer for artists like Kaskade, Halo and Miguel Migs. His current project has him set to launch a new imprint, Harlum Muziq, with prolific SF dj/producer David Harness. Chris has always been a doyen of humility, humor and wit, and though he winces at the accolades he receives, nothing can negate the fact that he is deserving of them and that he will continue to use his talents not only for his own benefit but for the betterment of the music scene in San Francisco and beyond. -Written by Chris Orr
