DJ B3 (Bryan Gonzalez) was definitely in the mix at Karen Blessen's benefit ball this Saturday. While laying down his mixes in the comfortably dim Mokah Lounge, one could tell he definitely knew what he was doing.Art Star: How did you come to play at this event?”
B3: “Well, I’m pretty close to Johnny (Jonathan Merla) and he asked me if I would play… We actually play in a band together.”
Art Star: Oh really?
B3: Yes, it’s called Mayta.
B3 has played in every major club in Dallas, and even some in San Francisco. Talk about legit. However, he prefers to play private and special events, “because they are more enjoyable and you don’t have to play what they want you to play,” they being the club owners.

Art Star: What genre would you categorize yourself into?
B3: “House, but I’ll also play Latin and Hip Hop.”
Art Star: At the top of your head, who are some of your favorite artists?
B3: Well, if I had to choose three, right now, my number one would be this band I’ve been following for the past ten years. They’re called The Mars Volta.
Did I just hear correctly? Indeed, he said the Mars Volta. We went on discussing their insanely good music and the bizarre happenings from their shows, for instance, getting crushed by the crowd, and watching security pull a trampled and bloody girl off the ground. “They bring chaos wherever they go,” added B3.
Next on his list was Madlib, a DJ whom requires no digital equipment to lay down hit beats. This is something any DJ can admire.
Last on his list was DJ Markey, a drum and bass artist from Brazil. “He got together with a lot of drummers from Brazil and laid down some tracks with all of them,” enthusiastically stated B3. I got online to check out his stuff, and might I add, it was fantastic. It’s evident Markey loves his drums.
B3 has opened for artists such as Eddie Halliwell and Tiesto, and has even played with Erykah Badu’s band, The Gritz. Is this an artist on the rise? I believe so.
