Stakeout Music was started by Jesse Merlin, Chris Patrick, and DZA in 2004 as a means to promote and develop our music in the Philadelphia area and beyond. Soon after, we recruited Mr. West Chester himself, Jose Ortiz, to round out our team. This year we picked up our newest member of the crew, Bryon Stout, purveyour of all things and funky. Our common goal is to share our love and passion for house music with people of all tastes and lifestyles. Our styles span the entire spectrum of house from techie, Chicago influenced sounds to deep, jazzy grooves and everything in between. Check out our music and events here and let us know what you think. If you make music, art, or have some sweet recipes (we love to eat) please share. We'd love to check them out.
