Our Grandmasters

* JOHN WALKER
John Walker aka “Turn@round” has been a staple in the world of electronic dance music for over 20 years. As a DJ, his achievements are nothing short of notable. As a catalyst for his local scene, he’s churned out a plethora of unforgettable one-offs including ranch parties, packed out world-class clubs and arena-sized raves, all the way down to the heart-felt intimate weeklies. He’s headlined all across the USA and abroad. He’s shared the stage alongside a list of heavy hitters too long to mention. His sound mainly focuses on a blend of house and techno but his diversity can include everything from the headiest minimal to the most beautiful Balearic and Nu Disco tones.
Producing under a range of monikers, his original and remixed work has hit everything from vinyl to digital, television, radio and beyond. His works can be found on Juno, Beatport and Stompy, amongst other distribution outlets. He currently resides in the DFW area working on new material, and in his own words “I really feel like I’m just getting started.

He has since been on a journey of stealing his brother’s cool mixtapes from the early ’90s. He is passionate about creating regular events for the local San Antonio market, teaching the art he knows with the AM project to youths, and learning to portray his own message in the music under his SOCO moniker. His journey of discovery has brought him to a point in time where he chooses to cultivate house music the best way he knows how – alongside like-minded, loving souls.

* MIEL BETON
Born in Cali, Colombia, San Antonio based DJ Miel Beton has been curating music selections for various events for over 4 years. He always brings a unique take to his sets by blending genres and styles. Beginning a love for music at a young age, he was gifted his first guitar at 15 and by 17 had recorded an EP with his band.
Immediately after graduating with a degree in architecture, he joined Ellis Redon as their bassist. Through playing shows he got involved in the local music scene and was eventually invited to guest DJ a First Friday event. It was here that he debuted his eclectic selection of music and began his journey as a DJ. From the beloved salsa of Cali, which he calls home, to the underground experimental electronic scene, Miel Beton’s expansive admiration of music knows no bounds and keeps expanding.
With a name that translates to “honey concrete”, it is only fitting that through these sets he hopes to provide an immersive experience through music that sticks and solidifies into the minds of his listeners. His passion for unique genres and artists only grows as he continues to dig through crates and build his treasured vinyl collection.
