DJ • Producer • Creator of Dirty Pop • Drew G is a pioneer of modern queer nightlife. He didn’t just chase a dream—he created a movement. Globally recognized for his signature Dirty Pop sound, Drew fuses pop, tech house, EDM, and mashups into sets that are unpredictable, emotional, and entirely his own. In a scene often defined by sameness, Drew is the exception: original, enduring, and unapologetically authentic. He’s the #1 gay club DJ in the world—not circuit, club —with over 22 years behind the decks and a nearly unbroken streak of weekend gigs since 2003. Dirty Pop , both the party and the sound, is the longest-running non-circuit international gay event with zero gaps—even for vacations. His journey started in death metal bands, but everything changed at 13 when he met Eddie Van Halen. The advice? “If you want to be a legend, don’t just be great—create your own sound and change the game.” That mission shaped everything. After a life-altering night at The Roxy hearing Peter Rauhofer spin, Drew walked out and promised himself he'd become the #1 gay club DJ in the world. And then he did. From managing a Sam Goody to building his own Frankenstein DJ controller out of RadioShack parts, Drew always stayed ahead of the curve—often laughed at first, then imitated later. His early foray into digital DJing helped shape what’s now standard in nightlife. He’s played iconic venues including Stonewall, Avalon, The Roxy, and Fire Island Pines, and left his mark on both mainstream and fringe queer scenes—especially in fetish and afterhours parties where he explores his darker, wilder sound. Career Highlights Include: 14-time headliner at Sydney Mardi Gras Personally introduced at Wellington Pride by New Zealand’s Governor-General Featured in Vogue Magazine and appeared on the Ricki Lake show. DJed an inaugural ball for President Obama Played two World Prides and major many other U.S. Prides (San Diego, LA, SF, DC) Official remixer for Madonna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Blondie, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, and Deborah Cox - Official NOT Bootlegs. Tours in India (including #1-ranked Kitty Su), Colombia, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Costa Rica, Seoul, and more Brand DJ for John Varvatos , with stops in Dubai and Abu Dhabi as well as Guess Jeans. Long-running residencies at legendary clubs in NYC, LA, DC, Vegas, Houston, Dallas, Fire Island, Asbury Park, Fort Lauderdale, Austin, Charlotte Held Dirty Pop at Rich’s San Diego every third Friday for 12 years Now based in downtown Dallas with his iconic French bulldog Pooh , he headlines globally but holds a local residency at Dallas Eagle . Drew was mentored by the late Orlando Puerta (Madonna’s right hand in the dance world), who he calls a father figure. Their bond is immortalized in the liner notes of Dirty Pop 37 and a 2016 HuffPost piece about Drew’s personal comeback. He’s also a former Billboard Dance reporter and contributor to DJ Times , with deep roots in music journalism and industry credibility.

DIRTY POP: DANCEFLOOR DADDY V7 is here. New music. Bigger remixes. And a whole lot of the trance records that raised us, rebuilt for the dancefloor now. I pulled in current club weapons alongside fresh takes on those early-2000s euphoric, hands-in-the-air trance hits—the ones that still make your brain leave your body the second that synth line starts. This one is sweaty, emotional, a little filthy, and made for driving too fast, getting ready with your friends, or ending up on a dancefloor way later than you meant to. Turn it up. — Drew G
DANCEFLOOR DADDY V6 Live at Dirty Pop • Rich's San Diego There are moments behind the booth when you realize this is bigger than music. Twenty-two years into this career and I still get that feeling when the lights drop, the room fills, and a thousand strangers decide to trust me with their night. Dancefloor Daddy V6 was recorded live during Dirty Pop at Rich's San Diego, a city that has been part of my story for more than a decade, the longest running monthly party in San Diego. Some of you have been dancing with me since the beginning. Some of you found me last week. Either way, for a few hours we all ended up in the same place. Whether you're listening at the gym, on a plane, in your car, or getting ready for a night out, I hope this mix gives you the same feeling that room gave me. Turn it up.

Dancefloor Daddy Live from Rich’s San Diego. March 20, 2026. Packed floor. Sweat in the air. Lights cutting through bodies like a warning sign you ignored anyway. This wasn’t a set. This was control. EDM. Dirty edits. Moments where the room forgot who they came with. If you were there, you already know. If you weren’t… this is as close as you’re getting. Press play. Fix your attitude. ❤️ Drew G #DirtyPop #DrewG #DancefloorDaddy #LiveSet #DJMix #TechHouse #GayClubs #CircuitParty #ClubLife #NightlifeVibes #HouseMusicLovers #SanDiegoNightlife #RichsSanDiego #PodcastMix #DJLife
Dancefloor Daddy 2026, v2. Listen to this if you’ve ever stayed too long. If the lights coming up felt personal. If the drive home was quieter than you planned. This isn’t peak-hour ego music. It’s for the comedown thinkers. The ones who feel first and talk later. I made this for people who know the room and still chose to stay. You’ll hear yourself in it. #DancefloorDaddy #DancefloorDaddy2026 #QueerDJ #AfterHoursEnergy #ClubKidsGrownUp #GayNightlife #EmotionalHouse #TechHouseVibes #LateNightThoughts #drewdoesdallas
Dancefloor Daddy This one’s for the guys whose brains never shut up and whose bodies only relax when the bass takes over. No talking. No preaching. Just a nervous system reset disguised as a DJ set. If you feel better after this mix, that’s not coincidence. That’s regulation. Turn it up. Breathe. Let your shoulders drop for once. #DancefloorDaddy #DJMix #GayClubCulture #NervousSystemMusic #TechHouse #ClubTherapy
Sorry kids, I wasn't originally gonna record this til people started asking me to. So it starts midway through Rocketeer :) I hope you enjoy it anyway.... Hugs- Drew G

Event Title: Drew G – Purple Party 2025 Location: AT&T Discovery District, Dallas TX Presented on: May 2025 Length: ~2 hour Style: Tech House / Pop Edits / Circuit Heat This is the one they’ll talk about until next year’s glitter settles. Live from the AT&T Discovery District, Drew G’s Set at Purple Party 2025 was equal parts baptism and blackout. A thunderous blend of tech house stompers, filthy pop flips, and emotional uppercuts, this mix is raw, cocky, and way too addictive. Crafted for the crowd that doesn’t stop moving and refuses to be told what’s “too much,” Drew brings the heat with surgical control and feral glee. If you weren’t there, you’re welcome. If you were—hydrate. You earned this replay. WHO THE F*CK IS DREW G? He’s your new religion. #PurpleParty2025 #DrewGLive #CircuitKidSet #GayTechHouse #StuffIWishDadSaid #LiveFromDallas #DJSexSymbol
