PETE SALAZ

Pete "SuperMix" Salaz is a house music DJ and producer, club owner, restaurant owner, event promoter, uncle, friend, Chen-style taijiquan practitioner, Peruvian plant medicine retreat organizer, mentor and supporter of Arizona Latinx artists/culture and a third generation Phoenix resident.
Currently Salaz has releases on Open Bar Music and Ocha Records. Soon his much anticipated label "Chuya Records" will have it's first release.
His weekly house music Saturday night event, "Solstice," kicked off in 2007, and is one of the longest-running weekly club events in the country, showcasing local, national and international house music artists on the rooftop of downtown Phoenix's Bar Smith. Salaz is often credited as being the godfather of Phoenix house music as his underground "Chupa" and "Red Monkey" parties in the 1990s through 2000s were some of Arizona's seminal electronic music events. These flagship events and his many DJ gigs—even today—carry the reputation among house music lovers as a source of tremendous community, positivity and unity. His Phoenix roots run long and deep!
