Joe B. & Sabas (United States)

Bio:
Joe B.

Most recognized under the guise of DJ Joe B., Joe Bazzell has been producing, promoting, and spinning music in the San Francisco music scene for over ten years.  His strong passion for music has been his driving force, which he gracefully uses to charge the dance floor in every venue he plays.
"I love the power of music, and how good it can make you feel when you're on the dance floor and the perfect song comes on at exactly the right time. I love to hear people scream when I do that for them."
Whether it's performing for an afternoon T-dance crowd, a packed Saturday night high-energy club, or a dark and tribal late night set, Joe's performances are always unique.  "My foundation is the crowd.  I play music for them."
Take a look through his record box and you'll find a diverse collection of tracks, ranging from deep house, commercial favorites, dark tribal, high energy, and trance.  Joe's style is best described as energetic, live sets stretching across a variety of dance genres, primarily based on house
music.  "I appreciate a wide range of dance music.  I love the fact that I am always growing and adapting new sounds into my sets."
"I tend to prefer vocal tracks, because of the emotions they can invoke in a song.  But of course who can resist a hot drum track and a charging baseline!"  While vocals tend to provide the basis of Joe's sets, the journey he takes is what really makes his statement.
Joe got his start in the smaller clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area like Detour, The Café, and the White Horse.  Since those early years, Joe's reputation and following have grown, and numerous promoters have been drawn to his talent.  He has performed for thousands at venues all across California, including the historic King Street Garage in San Francisco, 715 Harrison, 525 Howard, the Six Flags WaterWorld™ Gay and Lesbian Day in Concord, and Club Rage in West Hollywood.
