Who is Darkhorse?
Dj Darkhorse is a native of Slough, England (yes, The Office), He Spent most of his Teen years at the early UK warehouse parties.
A favorite stop was on a Sunday at Queens Reservior at Full Circle, Listening to the Likes of Rocky and Diesel, Andrew Weatherall and Terry Farly. The music then was varied with Dj’s dropping anything from A Guy Called Gerald to Edie Brickell. At the height of The UK rave scene Dj Darkhorse moved to the USA.
In 1995 Dj Darkhorse and Charles Uzzel Edwards started the Gardening Club in San Francisco, A monday night affair it offered a decompression for the SF music industry peeps after a long hard weekend. Dj’s had to play music they would play for their friends at home on a sunday early morning after too hard a night. Dj’s that played at the club were Matty Skylab, The Mammal, Felix The Dog, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Jesus and the Alien[had to be there], DB, Jeno, Garth, Markie, Patrick Pulsinger and many more great Dj’s. The club was set in a tropical location, with the Doobie Brothers old jet plane inside the club, one side of the plane looked out over the dancefloor, and made to look like it had crashed in the jungle. The roof slid back on the venue, so you could see the clear sky at night as you listened to the music, and it was covered in tropical plants and waterfalls, a perfect place for The Gardening Club.
