DJ Gino Mari
DJ Gino Mari, notorious frontman for Portland Electronic Rock Outfit The Gentry, likes to say he
DJs “Eclectica” (meaning everything from synthpop to punk rock to crunk and _______. He does
this all over the world in his spare time. From coast to coast he gets the kids sweating. He’s taken
his records across the pond to Nebula (Lima, Peru’s largest nightclub) as well as parties in Florence,
Italy and Vancouver, BC. In other words…dude gets around. Gino got his feet wet in Portland,
Oregon’s industrial goth scene in 1997, DJing everywhere from the infamous Paris Theater to the
goth room at The Escape. From there he started his own DJ night at the now defunct PDX staple La
Luna. This propelled Mari into the world of party promotion and events like “Continuum”, “Sound
& Vision” and “Oscillate” (Portland’s premier Electroclash Party). During this time Gino was also the
resident DJ for Kumoricon Anime Festival/Dance Party. In the years that followed Gino redirected
his focus and obsession with music to form his own recording studio (The Country Club) and tour
with his band The Gentry (with whom he is currently in the studio with finishing a new record).
DJ DiscoSnake
DJ DiscoSnake (Michael Brillig) has made good
parties even better since 2001, using his amazing
stage skills, love for lighting and his design portfolio.
Equally confident backstage or in the spotlight, his
sets are fueled by a passion for gaming and a love
of everything geek. Unwilling to stick to any style or
genre, he will happily bounce through movie and
anime soundtracks, gaming remixes, pop, electronica,
swing, house, industrial, one-hit wonders, memes
and everything catchy. Brillig has applied his art to
hundreds of different shows in the Willamette Valley
working under CMD Productions.
