Who am I?
You probably know me as Jay Paxton, Jayseph Enkidu or by my dj/producer moniker of Tang Li Wheebs. For the last bunch years I have had an extraordinary amount of fun helping people cut loose on the dancefloor at numerous underground Bay Area parties(Monsters Of Love, Mutant Mind Meld, BunnyJam, Psychedelic Friendship Bingo, Frolic, The Vulcan Speakeasys, etc) and at other larger events( including Mutantfest, Symbiosis, Further Confusion and Firedrums).  And so far I have had the pleasure to work with such a amazing crews as S.P.A.Z., 5lowershop, Otherworld, Havoc Sound, Katabatik, FVTVREPU$$Y, The Dreamtime Circus, Chickenhead, and Lucid Dream Lounge along with many others.

Why do I need help?
I have had to take an extended break from playing due to failure of my laptop and audio interface. And while the life of an underground dj is indeed exciting it is not always financially rewarding. So in order to keep bringing the fun to the dance floors and to still be able to play free and affordable shows I need to replace my broken gear. On top of all that I plan on getting back to producing new and original music to share with you all.




How will I use the money?

1. To get a new  laptop that is powerful enough provide me with many years of dj use and that will also allow me to also get back into the production of original music.

2. To replace my audio interface.

3. To cover the materials cost of the rewards offered.

4. To cover the cost of running this gofundme campaign.

5. If I end up going over my set goal I will use any of the additional funds to update my music software, dj controller and studio gear.


The breakdown:

$2426 - Sager Custom Laptop(including tax, shipping and extended warranty)

$ 99 - Numark DJ I/O2  audio interface

$175 - estimated materials cost of printing stickers and photographs, making cds and postage

$213 - 5% GoFundMe fee + 2.9% WePay fee

-$465 - donations made in person

for an online grand total of $2448


When do I need it?
Honestly, as soon as possible. I have already been offered some fun gigs within the next few weeks and if it feasible I would love to get it ordered in the next week or two so I can get it all setup and bring you all some new music by the end of the month! And if anyone wants to donate in person let me know and we can meet up. Or if you feel more comfortable using paypal message me and I will get you that info.

In conclusion
Music is one of my favorite things and I am super happy I get to share what I do with my community. I look forward to making more dancefloors as much fun as possible and stepping my game up so I can also share new original music with you all. So thank you in advance for any help you can give me in getting back to my mission. And I look forward to seeing you all on the dancefloor sometime soon!
