Listening to music has been a life long passion. Back in the old days radio jocks played vinyl records, that’s when I was in radio. As an avid collector of vinyl, I still spin the records. Using my knowledge of music I enjoy bringing together songs to create new soundtracks of my life.

DJ StrawBarry Manilow grew up in the fruit patch outside of Yolo County, California. His love of fertilizer and sunlight made him what he is today. At some point our young hero heard the sweet sounds of Barry Manilow drifting out of passing car window. And although he's never actually spun any Manilow live this new found musical experience was the spark that ignited his passion for vinyl records. It wasn't easy at first being a  strawberry in a record store but eventually he was accepted for the vast and intricate music lover he is.

Hi, I'm KANNA! I'm a DJ and producer based in Fort Collins, Colorado. Music has been such an important part of my life ever since I can remember. As an introverted sensitive type, I find that music acts as my emotional compass, helping me to understand and navigate this wild universe. Through creating and sharing music, I’ve learned more about myself than I ever expected, and I’ve found an incredibly loving community.

Cell Ekta was formed from a deep passion for the European, and more specifically the UK rave culture. With the UK pioneering the subgenre of Garage music, Cell Ekta has found his sound to align closely with that 'old-school flavor' that is prevalent in UKG. He spins bouncy, drum-centric tracks with melodies & vocals that pay tribute to 90's House, Jamaican Soundclash, UK Drill, & 90's Hip-Hop. Cell Ekta finds his influences from the likes of Interplanetary Criminal, Soul Mass Transit Sytem, Todd Edwards, Eloq, Main Phase, DJ Zinc, & many more. 

I’m a local DJ to Fort Collins! I mainly play UK Garage and house. I love creating an energetic scene where folx feel welcome to dance, have a good time, experience music they know in a new way and hear things they didn’t know that they loved. I’ve played at many places in Foco and absolutely love being a part of this local community. 

I’d be honored to join in focomx and appreciate the consideration dearly.
