On this weeks episode of the Space Cowboys RIPEcast, we are continuing to celebrate Bay Area DJ heroes by bringing you DJ Elz from the Laser Native & Common Ground crews.

Being known for genre-bending and crowd-pleasing, she has mastered the art of reading the crowd by setting the mood with tasteful dance music. Growing up listening to breakbeats, techno, and house music along with discovering classic rock, jazz, hip-hop, 80s, and funk music she learned how to incorporate all of these elements together to create some serious flavor. She has releases on Muzimo Records, Harlum Muziq, Look Out Records, and has just joined the Tech House label Laser Native as their newest resident artist. You can also find her playing regularly at the Virgin Hotel in San Francisco either Friday or Saturday night 5-9pm on the Everdene Rooftop bar or inside the Common’s Club. She is currently a DJ instructor at Blue Bear School of Music and also teaches therapeutic beat making workshops for elementary and middle school children using Ableton and the Push with the nonprofit Today's Future Sound throughout the Bay Area. Her mission is to use music as a tool to heal people by giving them a safe space to be themselves while injecting them with positivity via the best music to dance to.
