Always an honor to play peak night in the open desert on a great sound rig.  If you haven't joined us in the desert before, and you love this kind of music, I hope to see you out there!
Cheers!

Chief Jesta Live @ Moontribe, August 2021

Old school hip hop was heavily influential in my life.
Chief Rocka by Lords of the Underground is a classic.  Was only a matter of time before I had to use this vocal.

Hope you enjoy the free download!

Chief Jesta, Momentive_Jan 21_2022

Sometimes kicking the night off in the desert is more fun than peak hours because you get to conduct how the energy of the night draws in.  Very fun!

Chief Jesta_Opening Moontribe Set_March 2022

12:30am out in the desert, night 2, celebrating the 29th year of Moontribe.
What a continuous honor!
Hope you enjoy, I had a blast rinsing these on a massive funktion 4-point set up! yeyeye

Moontribe_29 Year Anniversary set

I was privileged with the opportunity to play sunrise this month, which gave me a great chance to play out some of this feely deep stuff I get to play.  Nothing like a sunrise in the desert.  Probably one of my most eclectic Moontribe sets. I hope you enjoy the journey!

Moontribe Sunrise Oct 2022

Have a couple nice dubs in here, I start the set with an original I won't be able to release because you'll hear, I sample the old Twilight Zone. But I'm doing a VIP that will feature an MC, so stay tuned.  This set has a couple other originals sprinkled throughout, I'm very excited to get some of this music out this year.  Cheers!

My next party features the US debut of Monty, if you have any friends in LA or you are yourself, definitely send Monty fans our way!  Going to be legendary

Chief Jesta Live @ Respect 2022 (feat. Chemistry MC)

Couldn't have been more fulfilling to have my birthday land on the night of the full Moon during the celebration of Moontribe's 30 year anniversary.  I've now been been on Earth for 32 years, but for 30 of those years, Moontribe has been dragging sound systems out to the middle of the California deserts and gathered like minded oddballs in the name of psychadelic electronic dance music.
What an amazing story to be a part of.

Opening the sounds at Respect Thursdays drum and bass night club in Los Angeles California

Chief Jesta live @ RESPECT 4/13/17

I played Sunday night at sunset at Love Long Beach Festival this summer!  What an amazing experience curated by Anton Tumas.  Had the honor to help curate the lineup with him and some friends.  What an incredible lineup it was!

Live @ Love Long Beach Festival - SUNSET- DEEP LIQUID

Here is my set at Moontribe this last New Years Eve, a party out in the open desert with impressive sound and a dance floor lit by nothing other than the full moon.  Among the legendary roster of OG Moontribe DJ's my label residents at Noise Revolt had the privilege to join these incredible friends to help orchestrate the ringing in of the new year.

Dela played at midnight, this is me following up at 1am just before Britton.  I was lucky enough to be able to turn the page with my set from DNB into techno, two genre's I have polar versions of love for.

ENJOY! & happy New Year!

Chief Jesta @ Moontribe NYE(2018)

This is a track from a few months ago I resurfaced and decided to release on sound cloud because by now I have too many other tracks I want to release on the Noise Revolt label.  

It was actually a VIP of another track PRISM and I are releasing soon.  STAY TUNED FOR ALL THE TUNES!

In My Head (Original tune)

CHIEF JESTA - Saucy set

This was one of the most exciting weeks to prepare for!  Some of the founding fathers of the west coast underground celebrating a quarter of a century.  For 25 years this family has kept the same intentions and integrity from the beginning, allowing this legacy to still hold its sacred values.
For a donation of 10 bucks, you can find yourselves in the infinite abyss of the desert canvas for your soul to roam free and paint your release of essence under the full moon lit sky.

Chief Jesta live @ Moontribe 25 Year Anniversary

Had the pleasure closing out a great event in Pomona, CA called Space Brains

Chief Jesta live @ Space Brains

Was grateful to have the opportunity to play a drum and bass set at 2pm in the desert winter!  An exciting challenge to keep tunes deep and psychedelic enough for the desert, yet soulful and funky enough for the daylight! Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for the pic Hector Maldonado!

Live at Moontribe WInter Solstice 2018

Here is my set from Moontribe 26 Year Anniversary!  
I had the pleasure once again of going up after heavy hitter Dela.  She melted our faces for an hour and a half with so high energy neurofunk so I brought it juuuust a little bit deeper, yet still pulled some high energy influence from her pace.  Was a great night in a Northern California forest!

Chief Jesta - Live 1-2:30am @ Moontribe 26 Year Anniversary

Was honored to kick off the music Sunday at Lightning in a Bottle's Favela Bar stage!

been waiting to share this!  Please enjoy and repost!

Chief Jesta's North American Producer Showcase mix for the Best Drum and Bass podcast

On the channeling our ancestors vibe, this mix is a deep psychedelic journey through the vastness of space and time and the canvas our soul often claims as the desert, where we commune with our own souls, and the forces that surround us.  Through song and dance, we merge with the light and dark to find balance of the two.
Hope you enjoy!

1AM in the desert, FULL MOON mix

This here is a journey through the vibes I usually play in the desert!  It was a full moon Halloween weekend this year, so what better way to celebrate in than with deep tech dnb!
Last tune is brand new forthcoming! 
Not sure when yet.
Stay tuned!
