Texas-bred collage artist DJ Jester the Filipino Fist has always been an anomaly. The black sheep of four kids from hard-working immigrants, Jester spent most of his childhood entertaining himself in the suburban outskirts 50 miles south of the air-conditioning capital of the world, Houston. During adolescence, Jester was shipped to an all boys Catholic boarding school in Arkansas. He headed for the Hill Country in the mid-1990's to attend the University of Texas at San Antonio. After years of on-again/off-again collegiate studies, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies while working in local record stores when people still bought music. When he wasn't overseeing as Arts Editor of the school newspaper or freelancing for Houston's now-defunct Urban Beat Magazine, Jester was manager/rapper of a band called Bucketfunk and a member of two of SA's celebrated scratch dj crews, the Underdog Turntablists and Supa Brotha Scientists. Post-graduate panic led him to a crossroads so he accepted a job offer from Boca Foods, an all natural soy-based burger company as driver/server for the Boca Burger Mobile. His six month adventure led him all over North America. He met girls. He grilled burgers. He had fun. However, the two most important meetings on that journey were in Boston when he met like-minded turntable wizard, Kid Koala, and San Francisco's Aquarius Records. Next came international press, distribution, touring across N. America (this time as a DJ) not to mention throughout Europe, the UK, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Never really having a permanent home, Jester spent a few years on couches bouncing between San Francisco, Austin, and San Antonio depending on where he could find work. He even taught a master class at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. This led to more local press, which led to more gigs throughout Texas. Along with Lederhosen Lucil aka Krista L.L. Muir, they founded the annual Waltz Across Texas, a yearly jaunt through his home state hitting cities other djs would rarely touch (i.e.--the small art town of Marfa). This eventually led to a gig with Grand Buffet, two dudes from Pittsburgh who saw the world the same way as Jester so he went on tour with them as their dj opening sold-out shows for Of Montreal and a then little-known act, MGMT.
In 2008, the Filipino Fist is still a conquerer of cities throughout Texas and beyond, host of his annual SXSW closing party at Emo's, award-winner (URB Magazine Next 100 2003, Houston Press: 2005 Best DJ To Skip Town and Make a Career and San Antonio Current: Best DJ 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008), avid runner, and alternative to your oh-so-boring dj sets. If you are ever in San Antonio, you can catch him co-hosting a very successful dance party every First Friday called GET BUSY.
Jester has acclaimed mix-cds (i.e., River Walk Riots, Heavily Booted, and Secret Love) and a few side-projects (i.e., Genuine Electric Latin Love Machine, DJ Jester & Quad Rod). Jester self-released a new cd with Ernest Gonzales in 2008 called GET BUSY (only available at live shows, local Austin / San Antonio shops, or on TurntableLab.com). Jester currently resides in Austin, Texas and is available to pin the tail on your donkey.
