Amit Shoham
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.

DJ HiBias
Randy Bias (aka DJ HiBias) fell in love with electronic dance music in 1992 when he was first introduced to the San Francisco rave scene. An avid percussionist, Randy's passion for music and dancing eventually led to his forays in DJ'ing in 1996. Existing on all fronts he has spun hip-hop, acid jazz, jungle, drum & bass, trip-hop, house, trance, funk, and just about anything else he can get his hands on. Showing no fear and knowing no boundaries he continues to experiment with music beginning with "Motion," his debut track on Tarantic Records.

Pat Sharp
Pat Sharp enters the dance-club music scene from an incomparable angle. When son, Randy (aka DJ HiBias) Bias, asked his mother to collaborate with him, writing and laying vocals down on "Motion", Pat jumped at the opportunity to work with him on a recording project. This is far from her first, though. An accomplished vocalist with classical training, in 1998 she released her first inspirational project on her own label, Falcon Records. A former resident of Santa Cruz county, California, she now lives and works from her farm outside of Nashville, Tennessee.

Sigal
Sigal Shoham is an actress and a student at UC Berkeley. Although her first vocal performances were in stage productions, Sigal's beautiful voice fits perfectly into the dance music arena. She makes her songwriting debut with her deep house track "Be Patient, Be Kind" on Tarantic Records' "Deep Sessions, Vol. 1" EP.
