ABOUT DONOVAN Donovan has been one of the biggest DJ names & music icons of San Francisco nightlife for the past 10 years. Revered as one of San Francisco's leaders of house music, constantly innovating, redefining the boundaries of dance music & pushing the creative envelope of nightlife entertainment. Through his own unprecedented events that set an unrivaled party standard, DJ Donovan & "The Donovan Parties" have remained the hottest #1 parties of Northern California for close to a decade, even in an era where "Top 40" and "Mash-Up" clubs & parties are more popular to the masses. Donovan has stayed true to preserving & protecting the house music culture of San Francisco and continues to share and convert non-house listeners into house music fanatics. To his "underground house music" industry peers, Donovan is respected for being the army general on the front battle line in the war between "house" and "commercial" music, fighting to keep house music alive & fist-pumping. Donovan's mainstream friendly house music opens "non-believers" eyes & ears to the beauty & sophistication of house music, opening new partygoer's minds to a new music genre, and inspiring them & intriguing them to explore this "undiscovered" music genre at a deeper, more profound level, ultimately, feeding the "underground house music" scene with new "believers". "Ruby Skye prides itself on headlining the biggest DJ names in the world and only showcasing the very best DJ talent out of San Francisco. Hands down, Donovan has one of the biggest draws in San Francisco. He has been Ruby Skye's "secret weapon" at always packing the house with a highest quality, most sophisticated crowd and always delivers impeccable musical sets that are distinctly his own style. Donovan is someone Ruby Skye always brings in for our biggest, most high profile events." ~ George Kapaty, Owner of Ruby Skye Nightclub
