DJ Kaushun laid a blueprint that the 209 still runs on. His techniques, his sound design, his approach to mixing, branding, and breaking records became the operating system for an entire region. The DJs and artists coming up today—whether they realize it or not—are building on structures he engineered decades ago: the battle‑tested discipline, the radio‑level polish, the club‑ready transitions, the cultural pride, and the independent grind that defined the Central Valley’s identity.
His catalog moves fluidly across B‑Boy breaks, House, EDM, Old School, Top 40s, R&B, Pop, Rap, and Latin Dance, reflecting deep versatility and cultural fluency. As Production Director at 97.7 / 98.3 KWIN in the late ’90s, he helped forge the station’s iconic Bomb‑Squad DJs identity, with early support from Lola.
