About DJ Klaw
(DENVER) USA BASED DJ AND ARTIST.
Klaw fell in love with music, recording sound and the visual arts at an early age. Exposed to Jazz, Rock, R&B, Soul and Experimental music by his father Bill Goodwin a prolific Jazz drummer, Grammy award winner and record producer. Hitting the road with bands his father was playing in forged a strong bond of rhythm, composition and arrangement in the young guys mind. Klaw says of those times, "I would be out at gig with my father at the Blue Note, Sweet Basil, SOB’s and other jazz dens in NYC and these jazz cats would just be blowing me away with the improvisations and attitude, then I would fall asleep backstage in the stand up bass case.
Klaw experienced allot growing up in NYC and in the sticks of NE Pennsylvania, Hardcore Punk Rock and early Hip-Hop being his focus because of the raw energy, DIY attitude and just how loud and pissed off that shit sounded.
As teenager Klaw got into record collecting as well as DJing on the local college radio station WESS (at age 13) as well as hitting up his old man for old jazz cuts.
Early bebop jazz and improvisational influences have always played a part in Klaw’s approach to DJing. "I don’t see a division in music genres, if it works in my arrangement I will use it. For me DJing is a way to tell a little story without speaking, getting the heads nodding and the ladies dancing”.
His blend of hip-hop, rock, electro and break-beats have earned him gigs DJ Krush, Tommie Sunshine, The Rapture, Vhs or Beta, Congorock, Etienne De Crecy,DJ Falcon, Kill The Noise, Treasure Fingers, Jeremy Dawson(STG), Aggrolites, Jack Beats, Cobra Krames, Z-Trip, Troublemaker, DJ Mom Jeans, Steve Aoki, DJ P, RJD2, Klever, Tittsworth, DJ Swamp, and Team Facelift, Butch Walker and the Let’s Go Outs, MFM, Goldenchyld, Big B, Dirtball, Hells Bells and Wendy City. He has rocked countless house parties, bars, clubs and special events.
Running his art gallery Divide & Conquer and hustling his Klaw Korp clothing line. He holds residency's in Denver at Beta (voted #1 Best New Club :: Club World Awards

Go for Brunch Sundays. Live DJ's there from 10am-2pm and spin mellow, down tempo brunch beats. It's a good place to ease the hangover. Some times I play there for brunch.
