DJ DAVE
No one knows where he came from, but they say DJ Dave first appeared during a rolling blackout on New Year’s Eve 1999, rerouting power from a forgotten numbers station to ignite an illegal warehouse rave beneath a decommissioned radar dome. Since then, he’s been carving sound like a ritual with equal parts sermon, sabotage, and séance.
Whispers claim he once DJ’d a set so emotionally precise it reversed a breakup.
Genres mean nothing. Time signatures are a suggestion. He plays EBM, industrial, darkwave, trip-hop, broken code, and field recordings of dead stars. Every set is a coded message transmitting something ancient, encrypted in BPM.
If you know, you know. If you don’t, by the third track, you will.
DJ DINO
Born and raised in Miami Florida, DJ Dino has been a staple in the South Florida music scene, and a proponent of Synthpop and Dark Electronic music since the mid 80s and into the more recent revival scene.
Dino is the driving force behind the long-running radio show SYNTHOLOGY 101 Radio. Since its inception nearly three decades ago, the show has helped propel Dino into the spotlight, earning him recognition both nationally and internationally. His growing reputation has led to performances at prominent events across the U.S. and abroad, including Wave Gotik Treffen/Dark Affair 2023 (Leipzig, Germany), SYNTHCON Synthpop Festival (Los Angeles, CA), Trans Communion v1.0 Music Festival (Houston, TX), Nekropolis at Club Lazer (San Juan, Puerto Rico), and most recently, Absolution Fest 2023 in Tampa, Florida.
DJ Dino currently holds a residency at Miami’s premier dark underground event, Malicia Goth Nights—a driving force in the South Florida goth scene. There, he curates an electrifying mix of cutting-edge sounds, blending goth, minimal synth, upperwave, post-punk revival, darkwave, EBM/Dark Elektro, italo, and rare, resurrected coffin classics. Whether you're a seasoned dark or a baby bat discovering the shadows, Dino’s sets are a ritual not to be missed.
DJ GOTH BARGE
Goth Barge began in 2017 as a bachelor party for Michael Adler, but the fun on the Milwaukee River led to future trips open to all. Founded by DJ Dance Commandr (Jeffrey Joseph) and DJ XdominionX (JJ Fortune), it grew from a small gathering into a thriving tradition of music, community, and dancing on the water. The first voyage introduced the now-famous “GOTH BARGE!” war cry, uniting those who set sail. Expanding into multiple cities, Goth Barge now hosts themed events like Goth Prom and Halloween Spooktacular, celebrating darkwave, alternative, trad goth, synthpop, and dancefloor anthems. When not on the boat, the vibes continue with immersive dance parties and music videos on the big screen. What began as a small idea is now a movement. As long as the music plays and the water calls, Goth Barge will keep sailing, bringing people together for unforgettable nights.
