JefrTale

Out of nowhere comes Jefr Tale. His current mix series Club Tales is a frequent download at top DJ sites and at jefrtale.com. As he says, "It's all about bass and growl" one part tech house and another sound others are not playing. Yelled by burners at Burning Man '06, "We love your dirty house." Club Tales is showcased every Sunday night at midnight on Sirius Satellite Radio on channel Area 33.

Beyond his local residencies, Jefr has guest DJ'ed in Vegas, Sidney, Dublin, Amsterdam, as well as regular guest spots in Boston clubs: Mercury Bar, Venu, and Gypsy Bar. The Sirius Radio music programming team invited Jefr to mix a weekly show in the Summer 05. Recently celebrating his 50th mix show with his Saturday night Burning Man set.

Desert music defines his sound. Burning Man, over the last four years, has been the venue that's most influenced Jefr's "Dirty House" sets. Jefr is the creator and force behind the big dome/tipi theme camp Root Society (rootsociety.org), where thousands partied this past Labor Day at Burning Man 06.

Peeling back the layers of Jefr Tale is like a review of dance music's defining movements over the last 25 years. The expression "Once a DJ...always a DJ." But like any well-kept secret, sooner or later people begin to find out.
