OutSmart Magazine's Gayest & Greatest DJ for 2012, 2011 and Runner-Up for 2010 “Purveyor of deep, infectious dance grooves and a feel-good atmosphere.” That’s how Joe describes himself as a DJ. Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections are his own therapy. As one of the most sought after DJs in Houston, native Houstonian Joe Ross has been working the club scene since 2003. Since then, he has spun at some of the hottest clubs/parties from Houston and Dallas to Florida and even Vienna, Austria. His preferred styles of mixes are electro, vocal house, progressive house, tech-house, and top-40 pop remixes.
A staple in the Houston nightlife scene for years, DJ Tad Dvorak has been steadily building a DJ kingdom beat by beat. Known as a party rocker, classic record provider, tireless promoter and meticulous organizer, Tad has brought his sounds to dance floors from the West Coast to the East Coast and overseas since 1999. His captivating sound spans the eras and blends genres of body-rockin' music; he'll seamlessly segue from Top 40 to mothership trunk funk, spin smooth R&B treats along with timeless soul heroines and heroes, flip house dancehall riddims, throwback to '80s pop freestyle and groove the dancefloor with his soulful deep house. He is one of the resident DJs here at F Bar. With his dazzling and electrifying style, fierce determination and golden touch on the decks, DJ Tad Dvorak has changed the landscape of mixing and continues to shine.

As a young house music aficionado, Zane has established himself as one of the youngest gay nightclub DJ’s in Montrose, cutting his teeth in the finest LGBT nightlife spots and mentored by some of Houston’s master-class DJ’s.

Those are big shoes to fill for sure”.
DJ Ukemi (aka Patrick Alvarez) is a first-generation Spanish-Italian American who calls Houston home. Instilled with a love for music of all genres from an early age by his international family, Ukemi grew up with a particular fondness for rock and hip-hop music until he stumbled across electronic music. He cites artists like Prodigy, Daft Punk, Laidback Luke, The Crystal Method, Dirty Vegas, Fatboy Slim, Miike Snow and the Chemical Brothers as major influences. By the age of 18, Ukemi was a club-scene music scene convert. Through some friendly contacts, he made his first appearance in College Station, Texas, DJing at Northgate. The resulting compliments and support convinced him to purchase two turntables and a mixer and delve into the art of beat-matching and phasing. Ukemi recently graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in Earth science and minor’s in global business and entrepreneurship. With seven years of DJing under his belt, he has won 1st place at the Brewski’s DJ Battle and Best DJ of Katy, Texas, in 2011. Shortly afterward, he hosted a college radio show titled “The Ukemi Broadcast” on Coog Radio featuring on-air live mixes and discussions regarding electronic dance music. He holds weekly DJ residencies in the Houston area and is pursuing a wealth of opportunities in music. Ukemi has had the pleasure of sharing center stage with many established electronic music producers while providing opening sets for 12th Planet, DirtyPhonics, Le Castle Vania, Nerd Rage, Mak J and Project 46. Ukemi began producing original tracks and remixes several years ago and doesn’t limit himself to a particular genre.
