About Me
Juan Hoerni, dj, producer, remixer, began his career, unknowingly in 1988 at Upstairs Records where he purchased his first 12" record. Born in San Francisco, California, of Swiss/French and Mexican background, his love for House Music grew out of Disco and Early Eighties Electro. It was in 1993 when Juan bought his first pair of technique 1200's and began working on his craft of mixing. His influences at this time were dj's Pete Avila(the main man responsible for breaking house music in Northern California), Doc Martin, Julius Papp, and the infamous DJ's Jeno and Garth of the Wiced crew. In 1998, he moved to the bay area and landed an assistant producer job for 106.1FM where he helped Lawrence Petty aka Foxxee Brown, David Harness, Patrick Wilson, and Pete Avila run "Yo Mama's House," a 4 hour house music show that brought in legendary guest dj's such as Danny Teneglia and Little Louie Vega to the greater bay area audience. In 1999, Juan moved to Los Angeles to begin his promotion company; Cha Cha Cha Project, and his new record label, Cha Cha Recordings. Cha Cha Cha Project was formed by Juan in order to bring Roy Davis Jr. on a weekly basis to Los Angeles, where Roy currently resides. He has successfully brought his dj and producing career to new heights with a discography of 18 of his original tracks that he produced. Juan brings a style of Deep, Latin, and moody house to the tables and the studio and is also known for his obscure and tasty selection of classics.
