SIMPLY JEFF
Phonomental Music | Fraktured L.A. | Nexus Artists – Los Angeles, CA 

Jeff's earliest experience in dance music began in the mid-1980s in Sacramento, California working as a DJ for private events, local clubs to finally hitting the air waves on Sacramento’s popular FM-102 mix show as a guest DJ, mixing the latest club hits over the late-night weekend hours. 

In 1987, Jeff would make the move to Los Angeles to attend school to become a Sound Engineer. As fate would have it, Jeff (known as Spinn at the time) would eventually make his way to producing remixes in Burbank, California for Alternative & New Wave artists such as Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Fine Young Cannibals to EMF and was heard on the World Famous KROQ (106.7FM) exclusively. Soon after, Jeff’s voice and mixing talents could be heard as a co-host and mix show DJ on the legendary "Mars FM Top 30 Countdown" (103.1FM) with host and legend, Swedish Egil. In 1991, this Santa Monica based station was known for breaking such acts as Moby, The Prodigy, 808 State to Rozalla. Mars FM was also the first Electronic Dance Music station in the nation on the FM air waves while serving the Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley and Orange County area 24-7.

In the beginning of 1990, the United States was slowly adapting to an alternative style of Electronic Dance Music which was thriving in underground dance clubs in the Los Angeles area. At this time, Jeff was fortunate enough to work at a popular record shop in Hollywood, California supplying club/underground DJs the latest dance tracks to date. In 1994, Jeff opened up his own record shop and label with a colleague located 40 miles south in Orange County, California and would remain in business in one way, shape or form for 16 years.  

In 1997, Simply Jeff received his first recording contract from an indie record label based out of Los Angeles with a name suitability called, “City of Angels” (also prior home of The Crystal Method, Uberzone and Elite Force). Jeff would continue to release popular dance singles such as "My Planet" and "Godzilla Funk" to releasing top selling dance compilations such as the "Funk-Da-Fried" series which has received worldwide acclaim. 

Simply Jeff's evolving style of Funky Breaks accompanied by the funky sounds of House and Techno has taken Jeff to perform on stages around the world. Simply Jeff has also appeared as an authority figure in major films, television shows, live cast and documentaries on the subject of Electronic Dance Music over years.

Simply Jeff has evolved once again as an artist and dance music enthusiast. This has ultimately drove Jeff’s passion and life mission to share, inspire and educate the next generation of Electronic Dance Music artist and enthusiast around the world.  In the summer of 2019, Jeff released his first dance single in 9 years called "Sister Valentine" featured on the album compilation "Beyond the Stars" (a tribute to the late great Skylab 2000).

Nexus Artist Management (Formerly "Flex Productions" the O.G. promoters from "Flex Records" crew), founded in 2001 by Promoters & DJ's Justin R.E.M. and Chris Pattison.

After producing a massive number of their own events (and still continue to...) featuring top-flight electronic music artists from around the globe, Chris and Justin sought to promote the talent that they experienced in the Green Mountains of Vermont to other reaches of North America and beyond. Thus, Nexus Artists emerged onto the North American electronic music scene. After a few short years, Nexus Artists developed the continent’s premier break-beat artist roster, managing the likes of John Kelley, Simply Jeff, Control-Z, Cut n' Run, Mephisto Odyssey, Meat Katie, Dylan Rhymes, and Elite Force to name a few.

In addition to having booked artists world-wide, Nexus Artists has showcased the most electronic music in the region to date. Nexus produced the first New England electronic music festival, ABUNDANCE, in 2003. The event featured 48 artists from six different countries on two stages and the event attracted electronica enthusiasts from all over the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada.  In 2023, Nexus Artists remains a foremost choice in music offerings in both quality and quantity of services provided.  

Nexus Artist Management is a three-point boutique agency specializing in ARTIST BOOKINGS, SOUND PRODUCTION, LIGHTING + LASER PROJECTION, MEDIA PRINTING / DESIGN and EVENT PRODUCTION.

Beats From The Streets originally started in 2007 as a monthly podcast for Vinylslut.ca, a Calgary based website showcasing a variety of electronic music.  The show ran for 40 episodes and was well received locally and internationally. BFTS supported the Calgary scene by featuring a multitude of local DJs.

Beats From The Streets then evolved from a podcast into a series of parties at various Calgary nightclubs.  The BFTS DJs have also had the pleasure of opening up for such international DJs as Horse Meat Disco, Eddie C, Lady Miss Kier, Fred Everything, Colette, Halo, Kruse & Nuremburg, Ben Watt, Jazzy Eyewear, Bryan Jones, Hipp-e and many more.

BFTS is firmly rooted in house music but branches out into other genres such as breakbeat and disco.  The focus of BFTS has always been a dedicated passion for quality underground electronic music.  BFTS has now been rebranded as the Render Recordings show, which airs on the fourth Saturday of every month on Cutter's Choice Radio (UK). Thanks for listening to our mixes! 

BFTS is run by Joshua vN & Mike Dub (Sonek)
