Amit Shoham is one of the founders of Tarantic Records. He has been playing music since the age of six and is proficient on keyboards, guitar, and bass. He has also had a life-long interest in music-related technology, and has dabbled in everything from designing studio components to creating computer programs that compose music. Amit first took interest in electronic dance music in 1992 when he was first introduced to San Francisco's rave scene. He began creating techno and house tracks and experimented with live, improvised ambient/downtempo sets. In 1995 Amit began collaborating with DJ Blackstone. The duo's first effort, "The Flute Song" caught the attention of Dubtribe's Sunshine and Moonbeam Jones. Dubtribe remixed the track impeccably, and released the remix on the Imperial Dub label. Blackstone and Amit launched "House of Stone Records" in November 1998, and released "Johnny Mojo's Theme," their first release under the Disciples of Johnny Mojo moniker. In 1999 they renamed the label "Tarantic Records," and have continued producing and releasing house music since.

While playing many shades of underground house, Dj Nathan’s sound is organic and deep. He has a preference for deep and sophisticated tribal house, with dub influenced house also being a favorite. With excellent track selection and great programming and mixed skills, Nathan builds the groove and gives the crowd a workout while keeping the music soulful.

Nathan’s smooth mixing and positive attitude have landed him gigs in San Francisco and beyond. He has played often at The End Up and Sugar (@ The Stud), in addition to clubs and one-offs throughout the SF Bay Area. Nathan has also brought his deep groove to Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland, Seattle, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, Virginia, and Lake Tahoe.
Nathan’s latest project is the label Care Recordings. The first release, “Catch Me”, hit stores in July 2003, with tracks produced by Nathan alongside Hogi (Electrogusto) and DJ Adnan (PR2, Survival Sounds). The second release, “Island Dreams”, was released in the fall with an original mix by Amit Shoham (Tarantic) and DJ Chang (Devotion SF, House Nation TV) and a tribal remix from Adnan. Care 003, "Jah Calling", was released in the summer of 2004. This latest release features an original by Nathan and Dub Theory (Jah Love Recordings), along with a slammin' Dub Theory remix.
