Born in Venezuela to a cellist mother, MonkeyMan grew up immersed in music. After hosting and producing radio shows in Caracas, he relocated to Oakland, California, where the Bay Area's underground scene opened him to a world of house, funk, soul, disco, and everything in between.

Now a staple on the circuit, MonkeyMan holds down a residency at Kenny Summit's club Compact Disco in Monterey. His high-energy sets fuse deep grooves with a palette that extends well beyond his Afro-Caribbean roots—no two are the same.

His selections have graced the speakers of The Great Northern and Monarch to The Valencia Room, held a residency at Ruby Room in Oakland, been featured on Fault Radio San Francisco and La Casa Discoteca Radio Show, and shared the decks with Young Franco, Kenny Summit, Lady Ryan, Jayvi Velasco, and Gavin Hardkiss.

Extended sets are this selector's paradise. No requests.
