Music is what sooths my soul most. It's my greatest passion. I also love swimming and yoga.
Music
I've always looked up to DJs/producers such as Ferry Corsten, Moby, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, PVD, Cosmic Gate, Sander Van Doorn, Markus Schultz, Kyau vs. Albert, Gabriel and Dresden, Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Digweed, DJ Jean, ATB, Chicane, Daniel Soto, John OO Flemming, DJ Montana, Fred Baker, and Dyloot.
JAM BANDS: Phish, DMB, OAR, Dispatch, Guster, The Dead, Keller Williams, SCI, and just about all CLASSIC ROCK.
Movies
Super Troopers & Beerfest, Scarface, Zoolander, Anchor Man, Top Secret, Me Myself and Irene.
Television
Don't watch too much, but can't live without Family Guy, The Office, 30 Rock, Friends, and Man Vs. Wild (Bear Grills is the SHIT).
Books
This is Your Brain on Music, Ariadne's Thread, Sophie's World, Harry Potter, and anything by Jack London.
Known for his clean mixing techniques, 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 trance, tech trance, tribal progressive, vocal progressive, melodic progressive, trance, progressive house, house, and techno. It's all about creating fun energy by weaving these genres together."
The year 2009 has been a very exciting one for Jeff. With an increase in demand for bookings, he has quickly become one of the most sought after young DJs in Northern California landing him a tour schedule with stops in cities such as San Francisco, Reno, Tahoe, Chico, Oakland, Los Angeles, and of course Sacramento. Not to mention, Jeff is now playing out alongside renowned artists such as DJ Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Above & Beyond, Judge Jules, Markus Schulz, Christopher Lawrence, Robbie Rivera, Starkillers, Kaskade, Richard Durand, Cosmic Gate, Sean Tyas, Lange, Super 8 & Tab, & Airbase.
Now a resident DJ for Midnite Events - the creators of world class dance music events such as "Give Thanks," "Spring Fling," and "Summer Love" - Jeff has become well established in his trade. If you'd like to catch his mixes at home, you can tune in to the internationally popular internet radio station, Afterhours.FM. There, he hosts a show called the "Escape Sessions," which celebrated its 1-year anniversary earlier this year.
With his own musical productions in the works, upwards appears to be the only direction left for Jeff's career to head.
