    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Darling Cool is a musically eclectic house DJ and producer making fresh and meaningful waves on her bicoastal adventures between DC and Oakland. While you can catch her selecting classics, deep cuts, remixes, and edits across various genres, she places a heavy emphasis on sharing soul-moving, dance-heavy house influenced by her Nigerian + German roots and inspired by the wide range of dance music she was raised on. She has rocked stages from SF to LA, DC to NY, and beyond—playing direct support for Aluna + Coco & Breezy, Anastazja, Aqutie, Disclosure, Drama, Full Crate, Jayda G, and on support bills for Andre Power, Ashanti, Chris Lake, HoneyLuv, Joy (Anonymous), Jyoty, Kaytranada, MK, NEZ, Salvatore Ganacci, Snakehips, SWIM, and more.

    “JOOGMAC (aka DJ JOOG) is a Vallejo-born, Oakland-based DJ, curator, and founder of both the Bussdown Collective — a Bay Area DJ crew and community that connects local creatives with cultural movements worldwide — and Barrio Bounce — a project bridging Filipino Budots rhythms with the underground club scene.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    JOOGMAC (aka DJ JOOG) is a Vallejo-born, Oakland-based DJ, curator, and founder of both the Bussdown Collective — a Bay Area DJ crew and community that connects local creatives with cultural movements worldwide — and Barrio Bounce — a project bridging Filipino Budots rhythms with the underground club scene. His genre-hopping sets—rooted in funk, boogie, UKG, Afro-diasporic club and hip-hop—have taken him to notable rooms including Elsewhere (NYC), 1015 Folsom (SF), The Midway (SF), and Apotheka (Makati, Manila). On support duties, JOOGMAC has shared stages with Jyoty, DJ Sliink, Mr Eazi, Shekdash, WEV, Planta Industrial, and Sasha Marie, while releasing club-ready edits and mixes under his JOOGMAC moniker. Beyond the booth, he’s an active culture-builder in the Bay, spotlighted by KQED, for his work across music and community.
