Meet the DJ’s

DJ Klyph

DJ Klyph is a cultural curator, selector, and storyteller whose work lives at the intersection of Hip Hop heritage and community connection. Known for his deep crates, intentional programming, and smooth yet commanding presence behind the decks, Klyph approaches every set as a narrative — one built on respect for the past, awareness of the present, and responsibility to the culture.

Beyond the turntables, Klyph is the creator and host of the long-running radio show Welcome to the Neighborhood and the podcast series Klyph Notes, where he documents Hip Hop culture through in-depth conversations with artists, creatives, and community leaders. That same respect for story, artists, and legacy informs his DJ approach — every blend has purpose, every record has meaning.

DJ Ambush

With a music career spanning over 30 years, I’ve worn many hats. DJ, Event Producer, Art Curator, Podcaster, Radio Personality and Host. Those talents have taken me up and down the east coast (where I’m from) and has found me a home in Portland, Oregon.

I’m driven by a desire to connect with community across all intersections, and a passion to see people enjoying themselves. Those motivations weren’t clearly defined when I started my journey as a music collector at the age of 14. Creating “pause tapes” for my friends and family, I became the go to person when it came to providing music for the functions. By my senior year in high school I started collecting vinyl. My love for DJing has taken me all over, with over 30 years of experience in nightclubs, concerts, festivals, retail locations, private and corporate events.

In a time when DJ’s come a dime a dozen, I was faced with the obstacle of separating myself from the pack. And through years of trial and error I’ve come to find that the best way to do that is is consistency. Stick to the script and give the people what they want. Consistency doesn’t mean playing the same records each week. But giving a quality performance every time I pick up the headphones.
