TONE // LOUNGE24

Born and raised in the heart of the Bay Area, Tone has spent a lifetime immersed in the rhythm and grit of the San Francisco underground. His obsession with the decks began in 1993 at age eleven, sparked by the sound of a DJ cutting up records on a broadcast. What started with thrift-store belt-drive decks quickly evolved into a dedicated technical craft.

By the mid-90s, fueled by a pair of Technics 1200 MK2s and an early Radio Shack signal chain, Tone mastered the art of the "dig"—scouring downtown San Jose for vinyl until the shops closed. Today, he has bridged the gap between analog soul and digital precision, evolving his workflow into a professional hybrid environment centered on Ableton Live and PreSonus Studio One.

While his foundation is built on the breaks of Hip-hop, his signature sound is defined by the deep, atmospheric pulse of House music. Blending the textures of 80s jazz with modern underground energy, Tone continues to curate and transmit high-fidelity sound for the true heads.
