// BIO //
DJ, futurist, and a practitioner of genre-boundless performance, Headshake blends the crispest sounds of bass music into a low-end heavy assault. Oozing with lucid textures & widened bass lines, a flux between dubstep, future bass, neon house, and beyond is the standard, all while keeping an intense level of party energy in the undercurrent.
Headshake’s staunch work ethic proved 2010 monumental, co-founding Dub Dorado, now one of the most renowned bass music events on the west coast. His SERMON OF BASS Podcast series is about to launch, with a debut EP due out late 2011. Stay tuned and keep watch!

Press:
“DJ Joseph “Headshake” Maldonado is credited by much of the dubstep community as being a big force behind the genre’s growing popularity in San Diego. Having established a sizable following spinning electro, indie dance, and dutch house, much of Headshake’s fanbase made the crossover to dubstep with him this May, at El Dorado’s monthly Dub Dorado night.” -SAN DIEGO READER 2010
“…a man with boundless dreams and an endless love for bass-heavy aural brutality. Whomps, booms, jaw-numbing oscillations, and bassline roars are the “simple” sounds that make up Headshake’s soundtrack to his life. Arguably one of the hardest and most self-motivated individuals throughout San Diego’s music scene…he has also co-spearheaded one of the most successful music scene undertakings of 2010: The creation of Dub Dorado – a bi-monthly event amassing an enormous draw for dubstep and packing El Dorado Cocktail Lounge to overwhelming capacity: on a Wednesday night.” - THEMIXSTER.COM
