Dose, is John Gfesser, who currently resides in Waukesha, WI. 

A ten year veteran of Milwaukee life, John grew up in none other than Dirty Stallis. Surrounded by vinyl records growing up, it is no surprise that the dj life so appealed to the impressionable youth. 

As the rave onslaught hit Milwaukee, it is also no surprise that the hard hitting impact with beats on vinyl records pumped thru loud ass sound systems made the impression it did. Not even two weeks after the first rave aptly titled Genesis, mixes were made and experimented with.

Although Lenny Dee and Hyperactive were what was up upon first listen, these later slipped over to the smoother sounds of ESP, Deadly Buda, DJ Dave Trance out of LA, R Zac23, Dieselboy, Soulslinger, Tim Krochalk and David Hollands and the like, and led to mass raiding of local record shelves on labels such as Soma, Contact, Drop Bass, Bonzai, Le Petit Prince, Network 23, Platypus, Toolbox Tunes and so forth. It was a mission to become the next biggest acid trance dj in the known universe.

Well, that never happened...

But the clubs were hit and doors at least opened to the possibility. Scoring a few part time gigs not even barely eighteen (at Ground Level and Moonshadows to name a few places--opening up for Doormouse one nite being a distinct highlight), a few years later clubs were a full time regime, including spots such as Thai Joe's, Mars Hotel, the Bremen Cafe, and Milwaukee's one time bomb hot spot the Bassment, where for a few years he lived not even two blocks away. 

Many friendships were made, and a few house parties played, but in the hustle and bustle no real fame gained...until about ten years later.

One night at Quarter's led to a few more nights at Studio and Up&Under, and before long there were three different times shows were being booked back to back in the same week. Opening for Dave UV, Syquest, the Devil's Rejects, and Spade One led to a few other shows for Plush, opening up for like the whole of Milwaukee royalty including Terry Dux and Fortune, and later on for Idiom, Decontrol, Tim Kasper, and even the legendary Dave Rodgers aka Delta 9....

Since then he has opened for the Demix at tha Circle as well as a few other appearances for Outlawed by Outlawed and now has taken a kind of "well deserved hiatus."

Once again though mixes being made and the thirst rejuvenated...

Dose resumes the quest.
