DJ Stage

Electronic Dance Music has many forms and genres...House, Breaks, Techno, Drum & Bass, Dub Step, Electro, and on and on. However all these distinctions have but one common to goal: to shake what you're momma gave you! So come by our stage, drop your inhibitions, and get down to some of the best talent around. This year the DJ Stage has expanded its influence beyond the weekend of the festival to sponsor a new weekly event called Sunday Sol. SS is a means to further develop the dance community in Davis. By providing a consistent venue where music & dance mingle our intention is to spark the feeling of hope and wonder that can come from letting go to the beats. Experience it for yourself by dropping by the UCD quad on Sunday afternoons.

WEF DJ STAGE BIO's

DJ's:

SEP
Ever since Sep was a child, he had an ear for music and always loved sharing this joy with others. Now, while pursuing a PhD in molecular
physiology, he continues to do so with an ever evolving technical
ability behind the decks. He prides himself in creating a unique set
each time he takes to the stage.

His versatility allows him to play many different styles from deep,
sexy house to high-energy, hand-raising electro house, all with a
flair unique to him. With almost a decade of experience, Sep D
continues to please crowds across Northern California.

NDemik
DJ Ndemik, a veteran of the Davis dance scene, is looking forward to his third performance at the Whole Earth Festival. Ndemik seeks to evolve the limits of reality past boundaries of time and space through mind-twisting body-rocking dance induction. Raised on a healthy diet of Goa trance, Ndemik now enjoys dishing up fatty platters of funky progressive blended with chunky chunks of electro and finished with his signature sauce of sparkling psychedelic. Hippies, rest assured – only the freshest cuts of organic beats and free-range bass lines are selected for this year’s sumptuous 2008 Festival Set. BOOM!

An-Ten-Nae
Adam currently produces as 'an-ten-nae' and is also one part of 'Orgasmitron', 'Ruined' and 'D'n A'. His remixes and mashups make his sound and his sets as unique in sound as they are in flavor, he's been known to classify past sets as 'Punk-Rock-Country-Hop' and the sound he's dropping now could loosely be classified as 'Dubstep' and 'Glitch Hop' fused into a bass-driven twisted dancefloor crunk that leaves little option but to get down a groove to. An-ten-nae has used his musical vision to influence the San Francisco nightlife scene for more than a decade and resulting in him revitalizing super-club 1015 over the past 3 years and more recently launching a broader production company that produces some of the most dynamic nightlife events in the San Francisco Bay Area.

G.A.M.M.A.
Born and raised in Northern California, G.A.M.M.A. (AKA The Predator) burst onto the techno scene in 1997. Listening to many different styles of underground techno at a young age has made G.A.M.M.A.’s own musical style diverse, hypnotizing, and addictive. Spinning a continuous and flawless mix of acid techno, breaks and house, has brought G.A.M.M.A. worldwide notoriety.

Helping form the Stilldream Collective and joining Techno Truth, proves G.A.M.M.A. is not just another DJ. These 2 companies have thrown numerous parties/massives, as well as introduced California ears to the unrelenting techno sounds of Chris Liberator, Aaron Liberator, Julian Liberator, and Dustin Zahn. With a strong dedication to quality, these companies are bringing innovative techno to everyone.

KELLY D

Kelly’s influences were molded during the electronic explosion of the late 90’s.  Looking back it’s hard to believe it really happened…tens of thousands of people getting together every weekend in the bay area to dance in cavernous warehouses, filled with concert sound systems, laser shows, and all excepting smiles from people of every race and age group.  As this years DJ Stage Coordinator Kelly seeks to offer up something just as pure and filled with as much heart as soul as those events that ushered him into the scene.  As a DJ of over 10 years Kelly knows how to work a crowd.  His style is never the same because the music he picks is a reflection of the environment.  At Sunday Sol you may find him playing deep funky house, but for Saturday  night at WEF he’ll bring a selection of the most pumping electro, breaks, and techno to close out the night!

IAN LESPERANCE

This Chicago transplant has house music in his blood.  Ian’s skills on the decks are impeccable.  If your out in Davis and you find your head bopping to the music, look a little deeper and you’ll probably find Ian at the controls. 

DOCTOR J

 Jason keeps it funky and moving on the floor.  Probably the Davis DJ with the most gigs under his belt as founder of countless parties at local venues like Pasta and Soga’s Jason is a staple of the Davis electronic scene. 

  
VJ's  (Video Jockeys):

SATSI

They say men aren't multi-taskers, but Satsi explodes this stereotype with his unique synchology—DJing and VJing simultaneously—a fusion born from more than a decade of audiovisual experience. A true sonic Renaissance dude, he has vitally and vibrantly rawked San Francisco's electronic music scene from house to trance to breaks back to the current 4-on-the-floor tendencies. More than just a creator of pretty pictures, he also produces his own music—best described as "electro breakno—emcees, sings, and manages AMMO (Advanced MultiMedia Operatives) his own music, film, and live event production crew.
