Mr. Big Happy is a Mexican-American DJ, artist, and lifelong record digger based in San Francisco. Known for his all-vinyl sets, he moves through sounds that blur generational lines—deep, eclectic, and full of energy. Whether he's playing at parties in SF or across the globe, his sets carry a sense of discovery and intention.
A deep collector at heart, Big Happy finds ways to weave in overlooked, under-the-radar, and long-forgotten cuts—tracks that get you moving. His selections create a vibe, blending underground house, boogie, disco, funk, and global sounds from every corner of the world.
He echoes this spirit on his monthly NTS Radio show and during his residency at the legendary Gold Line in Los Angeles. He was once called “a DJ’s DJ’s DJ” by Questlove, and recently signed with Stones Throw Records for a compilation project dropping later this year.
Every set is a dive into a personal archive—unexpected, timeless, and always full of feeling.
