Vee Here Now is a Greater Los Angeles metro area-based DJ specializing in California vibes for dance parties, house parties, bars, corporate events, private parties, weddings, and celebrations.

Vee Here Now travels the world searching for its best dancefloors, a journey that's led him to dance on some of the world's best dancefloors including Berghain (Berlin), Stereo (Montreal), Pikes (Ibiza), Nowadays (NYC), and Despacio (Ghent, Miami, Los Angeles). He takes what he learns there and tries to implement it in his own backyard in the form of Badcat.fm, a humble dance party that's approaching the end of its first season of 10 events.

In collaboration with underground DJs from across Southern California, he's also working to define a new sound that he calls "Calearic" a California-influenced version of the Balearic sound first pioneered by DJ Alfredo in Ibiza in the 80s. The Calearic sound is, at its roots, Balearic, but to this base it adds several California-native ingredients derived from renegade all-night raves in the Mojave desert, the awakening of consciousness originating at Esalen, the invention of surf rock in Orange County, and the Laurel Canyon music scene.
