DJ Esau of The Flying Skulls

ESAU (aka Jacob Her) is fueled by a genre-hopping addiction. His resume jumps from grade school band geek to meticulous sound engineer to LA post-punk dance rock frontman, to now ESAU: a born again music producer and DJ in San Francisco. ESAU’s buttery, hook-driven synth and vocoding skills got him quickly recruited by 1320 Records for the glitch hop heavyweights, The Flying Skulls.

ESAU’s headlining set injects a dose of floor rumbling electro bangers a la MSTRKRFT, Boys Noize, Siriusmo, and A-Trak, with the occassional Daft Punk throwback for a sonic breather. In after-hours mode, he caresses the ears with the nu-disco synth pop of Classixx, Miami Horror, Chromeo, and LCD Soundsystem, while dabbling in moodier soundscapes of ambient breaks and tech house for flavor.

ESAU’s bipolar DJ genres:
chill: Nudisco, Indie Dance, Funky House, House, Tech House
fire: Electro House, Breaks, Glitch Hop, Drum & Bass, Dubstep

Currently one half of The Flying Skulls (1320 Records) masterminded by J.Tonal.
