 80’s and early 90’s as everyone’s “auntie” who educated many 
 about HIV when it was at its peak of infecting thousands.  Tita Aida hosted 
 and performed at numerous clubs and events and incorporated safe sex 
 messages in her performances.  Tita Aida used the opportunity to infiltrate 
 the San Francisco nightlife scene and became a staple of clubs, circuit 
 parties due to her love for disco and house music. She was the “First

 keeping in touch with the community by producing LGBT events, as a

 Currently in SF he is co-founder with Sergio Fedasz and resident of Go BANG

 Harness: David Harness is one of the most popular DJ/producers in the San 
 Francisco Bay Area club scene. He has been described as ‘a man who lives, 
 breathes and emanates everything that is beautiful about deep house music 
 and classic garage.’ David is considered a ‘rising star’ within the 
 dance community.’ With influences varying from Barry White and the Love 
 Unlimited Orchestra, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Quincy Jones, the 
 Jackson Five, Stevie Wonder, Parliament Funkadelic, the Isley Brothers and 
 First Choice, among others it's easy to see why funk and soul have always 
 been strong elements in his sound. In 1990, David began DJ’ing at the 
 After Dark in his hometown of Monterey, California. As his popularity grew 
 past the boundaries of Monterey, he was invited to establish a residency at 
 Tilt and the Sound Factory in San Francisco. 1994, David opened and DJ’ed 
 at the popular club Lift at Club Dv8 (today known as Temple) in San 
 Francisco. His success as a club DJ led to a DJ spot on commercial radio. 
 David joined the popular radio show Your Mama’s House on the San 
 Francisco Bay Area’s number one radio station 106KMEL FM. To date, David 
 has worked on projects featuring artists such as Mary J. Blige, Luther 
 Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Simply Red, Alicia Keys, Floetry, Donnie 
 McClurkin, India Arie, and many more.\n\n\n\n\n
