Below Zero

Fortunate to have attended some of the first parties in the bay area in 1989, Michael, the Redstickman has seen the dance community from all different facets. As a clubber, go-go dancer, promoter, setup/cleanup monkey, party planner/organizer, DJ, remixer, and co-producer, Michael has done almost everything.

He founded the infamous Ambient Mafia in November of 1999, and they've taken over chillrooms in the Bay Area by storm with their chunky and funky downtempo beats.

Known for their imbibatory excesses as well as excellence in DJ ability, Michael and the Mafia can be found at their weekly residency at Anu, first Fridays of the month with Flow Fridays.

Versatility being second-nature, Michael has been known to spin techno, ghettotech, downtempo, disco house, funky dubby house, deep house, tech house, breaks, midtempo, bossa nova, ambient, and dub. If he's really toasted, he'll mash-up some obscure 80s song on the fly.
