We started back in 1978 as TELEX (Marty, Mike & Eddie), in 1979 Marco joined Marty and Xavier while we promoted TELEX with underground parties and events. By 1980 Mike & Eddie found out that Marty was doing his own DJ parties and we seperated from them (in good terms). But we had no DJ name, so after using various temporary names (including TELEX) we began using TIME Sounds. But at the time there was a crew (promoters) using a similar name "Gentlemen of Time" so to avoid friction we continued to use temporary names (Black Rose, Visage, Moscow, and TELEX - changing it based on the type of party). By 1982 after the movie E.T. was released we decided to become TERRESTRIAL 2 and join our friends with underground parties and events.By the end of 1983 we had to change our name due to conflicts between "new" members and roadies. We have always liked the DJ name TIME and Susan (Martin's Sister) got us our first big gig, it was for Disneyland. Susan suggested we return to our first DJ name "TIME", Martin said "Well, it's TIME to change our name" and sketched the time logo for me (Marco) to rework while Xavier re-painted our DJ Booth... the rest is HISTORY.While we did stop promoting our own undergournd DJ parties, our system and lighting was noticed by many new promoters that pushed and marketed popular mixing DJs ("Walking DJs" or DJs without Sound Systems & Lighting). We landed parties at Casa Camino Real, Kennedy Hall, Ukranian Hall, C.S.O. Hall, El Palacio, Paramount Ball Room and even Pico Rivera Sports Arena. We were not mentioned in many of the fliers but chances are if you partied in Los Angeles Area between 1983 - 1988 you probably danced to our sound system (Go see the pictures at www.timesounds.com for a blast from the past). In 1984 Martin moved to San Francisco and continued the DJ there under "Black Rose Entertainment".1988-2005 DJ Time under the leadership of Xavier focused on private parties. By 2006 Marco joined Xavier and is currently working together with Rene Pandamonia & DJ Richard along with David Science. We like our sound LOUD and systems BIG, currently Xavier has 16 Cerwin Vegas and together 60 feet of lighting - we are committed to the best sound and large lighting (Made popular by DJs like PEGASUS, ULTIMATE CRAVE, INFINITY and ELEKTRA).
