OUR COSMIC 2 LINEUP!

DJ Denise (San Fransisco, CA)

DJ Denise is no stranger to electronic music. Since her meteoric rise in the San Francisco underground scene in the late '90s under the guise DJ D, Denise has played countless events from Miami to Hawaii and everywhere in between, spreading her unique energy and style. Her nonchalant fader flicks and mixer tricks combined with effortless beat-matching skills captivate her train-spotting fans.

Between 2006-2013, Denise launched her music production career while concurrently running her record label, Mizumo Music. The label released over 180 EPs from local & international artists while her original songs & remixes were released on labels based out of Europe, Australia, North & South America and South Africa.

In 2013, Denise stepped back from the label and production to focus on developing her career as a healthcare professional. But in 2020, just prior to the pandemic, Denise could no longer ignore her creative side and dusted off her studio computer. This decision proved to be fruitful as she grabbed the attention of DJ Dan's record label, InStereo Recordings. She now has six releases on this powerhouse with more in the pipeline and has ongoing collaborations with fellow InStereo artists The Incredible Melting Man (Canada), divaDanielle, Tone Abstract and Callback Funk.

ABOUT US

We throw parties!

We don't just throw any ol' party, we throw dance parties with giant glowing vampire alien wizards and lasers, or whatever else sounds fun! We bring music we are excited to share, to people we are excited to meet, or see again for the ba-gillionth time.

Our mission is to bring electronic dance music events to areas where this music may be hard to find, and of course, to spread good vibes wherever we go! We believe you shouldn't have to travel hundreds of miles to get a little slice of the electronic music festival experience. We do this because we love it, and we love to share what we love with you!

Wanna have Funk & Friends organize and curate your next private or public event? Hit us up anytime at booking@funkandfriends.com

FAQ:

"I had a great time at your public event! Would you guys do my cousin's uncle's nephew's party?"

That would be a giant 'maybe'! We curate and organize electronic dance music events featuring talented performance DJ's and dance music producers, and we are happy to curate and organize a private event for you. Just keep in mind, we aren't the wedding/Mitzvah/school/request DJ kind of event crew. Wanna give Uncle Eddie a chance to request "Free Bird" after Beyonce and Garth Brooks gets done playing for Gam-Gam? Not hating on that sorta thing, that's just not us! Wanna have a multi-sensory electronic dance music experience in your home/barn/garage/pool, vineyard/brewery/distillery/bar/club, or monastery? That's us! Wanna make your next houseboat weekend at Lake Whatever feel like an Ibiza yacht party? Not a problem! Wanna host a private all-night dance party with the kinds of music you heard at Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival, Same Same But Different, Tomorrowland, Electric Forest, etc.? Easy-peasy! Let us know what you're tryna get into at booking@funkandfriends.com. We're happy to hear from you anytime!

"What genres/sub-genres of electronic dance music can you guys bring to my party?"

We have and will curate sets covering just about any genre/sub-genre of electronic music you can think of. Want house, trance, breaks, drum & bass, or dubstep? No prob! Want to start the night with UK Hard House from the early 00's, before transitioning to Happy Hardcore from pre-99', and then finish off the evening with some Gabber? We'll have a blast putting that together for you! Want 5 unique sets of different genres/sub-gebres in one night? You're going to have to try harder than that to stump us! We'll be happy to curate a night filled with amazing selections from virtually any electronic music genre(s) you desire. Hit us up at booking@funkandfriends.com!
