Behold one of the key thespians of global club culture as a facet of an ever-changing world, Jeffree Atizado. Originally from Vancouver, Jeffree’s progression has lent him to travel the world in support of his talents, his skills, and his vision making him one of Canada’s few DJs to earn international recognition. He has held residencies in Vancouver, Tokyo and Bali and his world tours ‘Global Transition?and ‘Momentum 2000?have taken Jeffree and his vigilance to such far off reaches as Australia, New Zealand, Jakarta, Bangkok, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. It’s the influence of his travels to the far east that have compelled him to progress into one of the most versatile and bona fide artists on either side of the globe. By absorbing the energy of one place and injecting it into another, Jeffree’s foresight has also garnered him special appearances at prestigious clubs such as The Dome in Australia, Narcissus in Bangkok and for Spundae (rated the #1 club in the United States) at both Circus in Los Angeles as well as 1015 Folsom in San Francisco. His charisma and charm behind the decks have garnered him spots playing alongside internationally renowned talent such as Sasha, Carl Cox, Taylor, Taucher, DJ Dan, Quivver, Mark Lewis, Jan Driver, Tom Wax, Doc Martin, Donald Glaude and Mark Farina to name a few.

Jeffree’s sophisticated style of progressive house pushes the boundaries of any music that is underground and at the forefront of what is to come. It has developed to incorporate a slower BPM, yet incorporating deep throbbing basslines, interlaced with sexy grooves, maintaining his melodic and emotive trademark that has been distinguished by his unforgettable sunrise sets on the cliff tops of Bali. His sonic Delivery holds an unrivaled testimony that can be felt at any time, just by the subtle grooves, tribal tech driven basslines and melodic sweeps that invoke the spirit in the most virtuous of purists. While his sound may have evolved, his overall strategy and mission statement remains the same. By keeping his audience captivated not only by his lengthy sets, weaving a sonic tapestry and transporting the listener in different directions, but by providing a familiar face, a confidence and level of comfort behind the decks. No DJ has a more solid grasp of his audience leading them through a transition in sound and melody, wondering what his next move will be.

His maturity speaks volumes as his focus and concentration to his skill has honed a new level of comfort behind the decks that spills onto to any floor, and the audience not only senses it, but responds. Trusting a DJ has never been more of an accomplishment, and Jeffree’s unique passion and devotion to his sound and vision has given him the upper hand in this era of global clubculture.
