About Me

..::"If I heard more DJ’s like [Hector], I would probably go out more." -Sonny Cheeba of Camp Lo::..DJ Hector is the new sound of the San Francisco Bay Area. Encompassing the hip hop and soul classics all while bringing in the club hits and undiscovered sounds. He is motivated by eclectic styles of music and the diverse ways to transform music on the turntables. He was born in Sacramento, California, but now calls Oakland his home. He started collecting records at the age of nine and debuted his djing skills in 1994. After years of practice, DJ Hector was introduced to the Bay Area nightlife by Jerry Ross, a well respected DJ in San Francisco in 2003. He began opening for him weekly at the legendary Monday jump-off Soul Café inside Club Gravity. From there he was introduced to Demetrius Roquemore, C.E.O of location415, in 2005 and began his progressing into the hottest young DJ in the Bay. DJ Hector attributes the reason for “being in game now” to Demetrius for his support and motivation. He has become the official DJ of location415 parties including numerous celebrity/athlete hosted events. True to his roots, Hector is constantly striving for that house party/basement banger/soul-get-down vibe. In 2007 DJ Hector linked with soul.profess, a known DJ/radio personality/ producer in the Bay, in 2007 to form Recess (a successful weekly party at Air Lounge) and 808kids Sound System.
