TOM GOLD - For over a decade, Tom has DJed on Fridays and Saturdays at the Castle in Ybor City (Tampa), Florida, spinning Industrial, Darkwave, EBM, TBM, Electro, and Goth. A true pioneer of the "scene" in the United States, Tom’s run at the Castle is one of the longest-standing gigs held by any single DJ in the American scene. He is always pushing the envelope to make the Tampa scene evolve by introducing listeners to new music and booking bands. You will, however, catch him playing the oldies on Fridays for Coffin Classics. Tom is rumored to have a "Mount Everest" of music that spans all genres and occupies the lion’s share of space in his St. Petersburg home. His current Poisons are: Jager Bombs.

Playing Music Videos on 4 giant screens, he mainly focuses on POP, Dancemusic, Euro, and new, danceable Rock, Mike will also inject a bit of 80's into the mix here and there, as well as treat with you some more obscure eyecandy at the beginning of the night. Mike digs hard and pesters record lables persistently to bring you the freshest music videos anywhere! His current Poison is: Redbull and Vodka
MARK PARADISE - Longtime guest DJ who can be heard at least twice a month on Saturdays in the main ballroom, Mark has an affinity for the harder edged Electro / Goth artists such as Suicide Commando. He spins with the lights out, and his current poison is: Redbull and Vodka.
