Gladiator

Born out of a passion for DJing, Gladiator was conceived in 2010 by Los Angeles natives Daniel Goodman and Ian Johnson. The duo is known for bringing an irresistible sense of fun and passion to every show with their unique genre-bending sets. After debuting with a series of self-released internet uploads and bootleg remixes, Gladiator joined the A-Trak led label Fool’s Gold and released their first official EP Assembly Line in 2014. Following this release they found the opportunity to make official remixes for the likes of Low Pros & Juvenile’s “Muscle,” Skrillex’s “Dirty Vibe” and Melanie Martinez’s “Soap,” as well as singles such as “Cruise Control” and “Cute” with fellow Fool’s Gold artists Sleepy Tom and Kittens. In 2016, the duo released their second EP Transit on Fool's Gold. Home Town: Los Angeles, CA Currently Living: Los Angeles, CA Origin Of Name: We were watching the movie Gladiator with our friend David and he suggested we become a trio of DJs each taking names and personalities from the movie. Weapon of Choice: Personality Source of Power: Mila Kunis, Kobe Bryant, Goku What do your parents think of what you are doing? It took a minute for them to get on board. Being a professional electronic music DJ is a relatively new, unfamiliar profession. Once they saw us at Club Nokia for the first time opening for Rusko, however, their eyes were opened and now they're more supportive than ever.
