Although she is fairly new to DJing she has taken the time to learn the craft, has a distinguished smooth style of mixing, a unique sound, and a passion for the music. She gravitates to House, Deep House, Tech House, and Techno but started off playing and still has a love for Jackin' House; which is where the Jacky in her name derived from. The Aunty is a dedication to her 26 (almost 27) nieces and nephews. She's had the honor of playing gigs/venues throughout Sacramento; including Flamingo House, Mangos, Faces, TwelvesWax, RMF, Love Bot, and Sunday Bliss in Oakland.
Higgins (TFTI)
Higgins, also known as Cats On Acid, is a multi-genre DJ from Sacramento, CA. Much like the diverse terrain of Northern California, his music knows no bounds, allowing him to push the envelope of sonic acceptabilbity wherever he plays.During COVID, Higgins founded TFTI, which began as a small collective of like-minded individuals passionate about transformative experiences and stellar sound. This evolved into a fully produced club/rave in his own home, becoming a creativity hub in Sacramento through many curated parties.
Inspired by his younger years attending the true underground parties designed by HMNI, Dirty DJ’s, Unity and other early underground parties. Higgins is no stranger to orchestrating the perfect progression of sound and experience. He aims to change the trajectory of sounds among his peers in the NorCal music scene, both above and underground, by leaning towards more obscure tunes and vibes while staying true to the party's overall goal or sound.
His passion for the behind-the-scenes aspects of the scene led him to become an AV professional, traveling stateside and internationally, soaking up inspiration. This influences his deep dive into the underground, reflected in a wide range of events, including THIS 916 Block Parties, RMF, Stilldream, and his residency at Flamingo House.
Higgins is responsible for TFTI parties such as Substance, Headroom, and a slew of official and unofficial afterparties. His range of genres includes various styles of house and techno, breaks, garage, UK dubstep, and drum and bass, with experimental variations throughout.

Cantos (HMNI / Nervous Records / Windhorse Records)
Consistency, Dedication, Community, and Heart are four undeniable and accurate words that can describe the musical career of Dj Cantos. Cantos’ knowledge of Funk, Soul, Jazz, and Hip-Hop, allow him to continually create an ever changing, original mixture of House and Techno, showcasing all of these elements within his groove.
Producing music since 2004, Cantos has had his hands in some of the deepest, funkiest, and thumping dance music projects, and continues to push auditory boundaries with his latest releases on Viva Recordings, Nervous Records, Ocha Mzansi and Uniting Souls Music charting on Beatport and Traxsource top 100 track lists. Cantos has released music on GJJF, Blueprints, Ayize Songaa, CPR Digital, XDEEE, Selekta Recordings, LTHM, and Deep over the last 2 decades. Gaining more exposure with his music production, he is traveling internationally to Dj in India October 2024.
But even though he’s doing the radio shows, traveling to play the next gig, and making music, it’s the Community he’s helped create that shines the light on Cantos’ spinning disco ball. HMNI (Hello My Name Is) is truly a ‘movement’ in which Cantos helps lead a diverse and genuine crew that invites those who respect and love House Music and dancing just as much as the crew does. Cantos and crew create a safe, fun, vibrant, creative, and memorable, sometimes spiritual and enlightening, experience for all who attend these warehouse and outdoor events year round. Simply, it couldn’t all be done unless he loved what he does. The best part about it, is that you can see, hear, and feel that love, every time he gets up on the decks…
