S2 Episode 6: The Bay Area Club Scene & DJing W/ DJ Mind Motion

Erick Recinos– or better known to The Bay as DJ Mind Motion– is a legendary San Francisco Bay Area Hip Hop DJ. He and his partner Chuy Gomez started DJing in high school for parties, weddings and community events, and when hip hop influence started to spread, Mind Motion and the Pirate DJ’s played a huge role in its success in the Bay Area.

This spread was in part influenced by Mind Motion and other DJ’s efforts to have the “ear of the street” and take control of laying down what was the newest hot music. By forming a partnership with other artists and DJ’s in the City, they paved the way to change how records were played. No longer did record companies and radio stations dictate what music was popular, and for the first time, the community and artists themselves got to influence their musical tastes. DJ Mind Motion has become a force in the Bay Area because of his leadership in this change, and now a second generation of people are flocking to his and the Pirate DJ’s famous parties.

DJ Mind Motion is a master at reading the crowd. He is kind, honest, charming, down to earth and so joyous. His positive energy is infectious– a large reason why he is so successful and legendary in the San Francisco Bay Area today. Probably the best testament to his ecstatic character would be his favorite quote: “GO GET MY SHINE BOX!”

We are thrilled to have him on Beyond the Fog Radio this week.
