DJ BIO:
Known for his clean mixing techniques, and an innate ability to move any crowd in any given city, Jeff Thompson is on a mission to share his passion for music with as many people as possible. His unique track selection notoriously leaves crowds yearning for his next appearance. "I try not to get locked down in any one genre. My tastes are continuously evolving. I'd say the genres I most enjoy are progressive, tribal progressive, melodic progressive, trance, epic trance, melodic trance, euphoric trance, and vocal trance. For me, it's all about telling a story by weaving these genres together. That's my goal every time I play live for a crowd or record at home in the studio."
Riding the "trance wave" that crested in '99, Jeff began his DJ career in California's capitol city, Sacramento. Known from the beginning as a trance DJ, Jeff has spent years refining his sound to what it is today. His motivation and drive have always been founded on his sincere and humble desire to thrill as he has been thrilled. "I'm constantly reflecting back on the hundreds of spine-tingling moments I've experienced watching my favorite DJs perform live. I want people to know what that feels like, and to dance their asses off with huge smiles on their faces!"
Jeff's vast knowledge of trance music combined with his exceptional mixing skills allows him to enter into any event demographic and mix the quintessential set for that crowd.
Upon joining Other Promotions of Sacramento in 2007, and after performing at their popular summer outdoor "Energizer" festivals, Jeff has found himself a comfortable nitch in Sacramento's dance scene as one of Sac's favorite local DJs.
The year 2008 promises to be a very exciting one for Jeff. With an increase in demand for bookings, he has quickly become one of the most sought after young trance DJs in Northern California landing him a tour schedule that boasts stops such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Reno, Tahoe, Chico, Oakland, and of course Sacramento. Not to mention, Jeff is playing out alongside renowned artists such as Airbase, Tom Colontonio, Shawn Mitiska, Victor Dinaire, Angel Alanis, Forest Green, Dyloot, Ron Reeser, Mars, Mystre, Elsa Hill, Dragnfly, and Denise.
Now a part of the United Vibes Crew, Jeff has become well established in his trade, and is a common sight at many of the West Coast's premiere electronic dance music events. He also has a radio show called the "Escape Sessions" that airs every 3rd Monday of the month from 3-4PM PST / 6-7PM EST / 00-01 CET on the internationally popular internet radio station, AfterHours.fm.With upwards being the only direction left for his young career to head, Jeff Thompson is soon to be one of America's most sought-after DJs.
