Take a look at our amazing lineup for this party, which includes a few SQ veteran DJs along with three amazingly talented DJs making their Something Queer debut.

Jason Godfrey is a dance music DJ based out of San Francisco, California. With over 15 years of experience behind the decks he’s developed an uncanny ability to get people moving to the music with his track selection and mixing skill. Raised with musical influences such as disco, funk, soul, hip-hop and R&B, he’s able to weave these genres into contemporary dance music for a fun, sexy and enthralling experience. With his relentless energy and endless passion, he will do whatever it takes to get the dance floor moving.

Critical value (Justin B) is a curator of fine melodic progressive house and trance tunes. Originally from Southern California, he got his start DJing in the Los Angeles music scene in 2001. Growing up in a Lebanese-American family, music was always an important part of his life. His first gigs were in dimly lit chill-out spaces of the back rooms of clubs. He later co-produced a “UK-style” queer weekly at a nightclub in L.A. Those experiences left a mark on his style today and he continues to be influenced by the rave scene, desert parties, dirty dirty house clubs, burning man, and sounds that remind him of home. Today, Critical Value wants to take you on a sonic journey through the deeper and darker parts of progressive house & trance. Although, don’t be surprised if you end up in other places too; perhaps some psy-trance, downtempo, tech-house, or even a few cheesy vocal trance numbers. He’s all about sharing the music that he loves to dance to with the hope that you’ll also fall in love. 

Eddie House (Something Queer Debut)

A Deep Disco/Soul/Funky/Tech House n’ Boogie music fanatic. Eddie House comes from an upbringing of Classic Soul, RnB, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Hip Hop and House influences. Engraved in his soul from generations prior he’s always had an “itch” for a groove. A San Jose (SF Bay Area) native you can find him regularly at Rhythm Ritual, an ongoing weekly party in San Jose SOFA District feat. local and world talent who stand behind the movement of DANCE MUSIC!

Nate got his start in the 90’s rave scene of Madison, WI and moved to Chicago in 2000.  He eventually rose in the ranks there until he was hired as the head Talent Buyer and Music Director for the nightlife institution Smart Bar (2009-2013).  He was responsible for the creation of Smartbar’s Sunday night party Queen! featuring residents Derrick Carter, Michael Serafini, Garrett David and the late Frankie Knuckles.  He was instrumental in giving a helping hand to his at-the-time assistant and eventual successor there, the Blessed Madonna.  He established long standing connections between the club and esteemed global entities such as Berghain/Ostgut and cemented Smartbar’s reputation as a supporter of Chicago’s Queer community.

In 2014 Nate took a break from nightlife and relocated to Oakland.  2019 saw an energetic return to DJing as he enjoyed slots at clubs and institutions all over the Bay such as Public Works, F8, Dudes and Disco, The Stud, Polyglamorous, Sutro FM, Fault Radio and many more.  He has also enjoyed mentoring a number of DJs around the Bay Area including his DJ child, protégé and partner, Charles Hawthorne. The Pandemic led Nate to refocus his efforts and it is his return to production and label management that has given him the most excitement as of late.  Through Quaint But Extra he released his self-titled debut album on May 7th, 2021 to very positive reviews from Bandcamp Daily, Resident Advisor, Chicago’s 5 Magazine and SF’s Fault Radio.

Umee Dee (Something Queer debut)

Now DJ-ing for over 8 years, her music journey started at age 12 when she fell in love with the electronic soundscapes of ambient electronica. Growing up in the UK, she witnessed the evolution of the electronic music scene in the late 90s. Umee has curated her tastes over time, with special predilection for house, techno and ambient music.

Since moving to SF in 2015, Umee has played support roles at various major clubs in SF including the opening lineup at Public Works in 2017 for techno legends, Pan-Pot. Umee has harnessed a lot of DJ time at over 7 Burning Man Playa events since 2014, most notably when she played an ambient meditative set on the legendary Robot Heart art car for the art project by The Journey in 2017.

Umee Dee also regularly participates in the Mioli record label’s events including releasing her first original track on Mioli’s 9 year anniversary compilation.
