Canadian born John LePage is a DJ/Producer currently based in San Francisco. A professional DJ since 1996 John has proven himself an enduring talent. A residency at Splash NYC in the late 90’s led to gigs across the continent including Black & Blue Week-end in Montreal, Miami’s White & Winter Party Week-ends, and clubs in Denver, Dallas, Boston, Philadelphia & Puerto Vallarta - John formed his digital record label, Groove Records, in 2010. His previous singles Heaven, Catch A Fire & Key To Your Soul all went Top 25 on Billboard - Residing in San Francisco since 2004 John spins at many local venues including The Endup, Rebel, Beat Box, The Lookout, 1015 Folsom, 440 & DNA Lounge.  John also currently spins regularly in Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego Fort Lauderdale & Provincetown. 

Producer DJ Paul Goodyear is an extraordinary DJ and an international phenomenon that has become a brand name in the industry. He regularly headlines some of the biggest entertainment events in the world. His style encapsulates an incredible range - most recently he combines hypnotic tribal, dynamic disco, electro funk and house to create a signature style all his own. With many artists struggling to stay relevant as musical trends come and go and technology changes the playing field, Paul has shown a remarkable gift for not just staying abreast of these trends, but for contributing to them and shaping them himself. 

“I’ve absolutely got to get my hands on the unreleased cut” , is what the cream of the house scene of the late 90’s and early 00’s were raving of the original or remixed songs of this artist, better known as Little Eric, whose undeniable talent has left him atop the underground scene… by popular demand.
 This musical composer can already boost of quite a résumé thanks to his eclectic style and particular interest in percussive rhythms. His musical tapestry is intricately woven in his studio, some of which can already be considered as classics (Echekeboom, Spin Me Round, Tango Please!). His carefully orchestrated music has interested the likes of influential DJs such as Junior Vasquez and Peter Rauhofer. After fulfilling a two year contract on Twisted Record, Eric only released independent singles and three mixed albums on his own signature “Shortwave”. Life changes skewed him away from the music scene back in 2007 but his love of music never left him. Years later, Eric is getting back on the saddle and is coming up with a more mature sound, respectful to his tribal roots with this fresh remix of his own classic Echekeboom.

John LePage, a San Franciscan with the sensibility of his native Canada, is one of those rare DJ's who can extract those inner and outer influences of diversity to take his refined sound and cross-over appeal to the next level. Born in Toronto and educated in Montreal, LePage cut his teeth on the scene in such iconic clubs as Kox and Sky. After a few stints in Montreal, LePage moved to New York City where he began to develop his resume, immediately becoming a resident DJ at Splash. He then hit the road spinning Black and Blue in Montreal, Miami’s White and Winter Parties, all while keeping people on the dance floors at clubs in Denver, Dallas, Boston and Philadelphia. In 2004, LePage moved to San Francisco, playing parties like Sanctuary, Sweat, Northern Exposure in Seattle, Beef Dip in Puerto Vallarta, and the Onyx Ball in Toronto, Canada. He currently spins regularly in San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego & Provincetown.  

Debby Holiday broke onto the dance scene with her Top 5 Billboard summer anthem Dive in 2004. Holiday followed the smash hit Dive with her power ballad Half A Mile Away, which shot into the Billboard Top 10, along with Debby's follow-up dance hit Bring It On. Her next four dance singles, Piece of My Love & Surrender Me (with Tony Moran), Joyful Sound and Party Round the World (with Jason Dottley) all went Top 20. Debby Holiday's other recent projects include singing the title track to Courteney Cox's FX Network television series Dirt, a role in a national Sprint television commercial, and looping on the musical feature film Dreamgirls, with Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson. Holiday continues to pump up the volume on the dance floors, live with her rock/soul band, and on television, with several recent placements including NBC’s The Office, FX Networks Dirt, Showtime’s hit The L Word and MTV’s Pick Up Artist. Queer As Folk another Showtime hit, used two of Debby’s tracks including Dive & Half A Mile Away in their episodic finale. Joyful Sound was featured in this past season’s hit LOGO show Sordid Lives: The Series, from writer/director/producer Del Shores, and starring Olivia Newton John. Debby Holiday has worked with a wide range of today's top songwriters including Jeffrey Steele, Al Anderson, Marty Frederikson, Billy Steinberg, Erik Bazillian and Clif Magness (Avril Lavigne).

San Francisco DJ John LePage Keeps the Dance Floor Happy

"John LePage may not be a household name quite yet. But in 16 years behind the decks, this DJ-producer living in San Francisco has honed his craft of spinning happy music for happy dancers. Originally from Toronto and educated in Montreal as an accountant, this sexy Canadian is tall, fit, muscular, a bit shy and reserved, with an ear for music and eye candy to his fans."

Review by Jim "Juicy Fruit" Hauck, The Juice Box (July 2010)

A staple of the San Francisco’s dance scene, John’s music can sometimes be branded as standard circuit with a side of meat, but his Independence set was more than a run of typical tracks. The floor was jammed for most of the night with folks who were built up and up and up by heavy beats and storming vocals that were unrelenting. THE JUICE BOX REVIEW  

Review by Jim "Juicy Fruit" Hauck, The Juice Box (September 2009)

"Inside the club we were greeted by a music set from DJ John Le Page that I would say was probably one of the best I have ever heard him spin.  The depth of the music made me happy that I had missed Fresh and I was right now getting a dose of T-Dance before hitting the darker beats later in the evening.   John did not disappoint through the entire night with great vocals, harder driving tracks and some really amazing mixtures of sounds and textures.  I was in heaven for the first half of the night."

Review by Jim Hauck, The Juice Box (July 2009)

"Thankfully at midnight, DJ John LePage took the helm and drove us to a higher place on the dance floor, with a mix of chunky fun beats and some anthems to keep you smiling and your toes tapping.  John’s set kept many of the bears at the party to the very end, including yours truly, to enjoy what I feel was some of the best DJ work I have heard from John."

Review by Club Beats J.D. (February 18, 2009)

“When I got there, John Le Page was dropping the tracks, and he was NOT f*cking around with the music! Boy was he dropping the bombs! I have to give him props for that, though he's different style from Andy Almighty, he had the BEST music of the night! Amazing tracks, excellent remixes, that as the night kept on going (and don't forget about the rain), the club was getting more packed by the minute! the 2 rooms downstairs were packed, and the upstairs was filling up quickly. John kept dropping the tracks, towards 1 AM he started going darker, and adding more rough circuit tracks. People (and myself) were LOVING IT!.”
