Got to opportunity to play a morning set for some friends at their annual valentines party "We Had Plans".  Wanted to keep the energy going of the party and include some fun and interesting tracks. 

Thank you to @DJGreenie and KB @therobonix for the invite and the recording.

Jeff is a producer/DJ living in Ocala, FL. However, he established himself as a connoisseur of underground dance music in Denver, CO; a city brimming with both talent and aficionados.

His tendency towards the dark and dissonant speaks to a deeper understanding of the underground aesthetic. This hasn't been lost on his peers, either. In 2016 he was added as a resident DJ of Fiat LuXx's INTIMäT event concept series. And in 2017
he was bestowed with the honor of becoming a resident DJ of The Underground Denver. This esteemed crew includes some of Denver’s most talented and respected maestros. Over the years, Jeff became a fixture of the Mile High City's vibrant nightlife scene.

Henderson has over four decades of musical experience. Born and raised south of Chicago, he started playing drums at the age of nine and began playing in bands as a teenager. In the 90s, he formed a hardcore band called Buddha Knievil, and they released a self-titled album through Urban Legends Records in 1996.

By the turn of millennium, however, artists like The Crystal Method had turned him on to electronic music. In the mid ought’s he began experimenting with music production and the soundscapes he's made in the time since serve as stylistic mile markers charting the course of his journey. 

Tracks like "Night Drive" and "Marianas Trench" arose from Henderson's downtempo/chillout phase, but he became deeply involved in Denver's underground dance music scene in 2012. Songs from this period such as "DadeDreamer" and “House” exhibit markedly more house music influence - and by the time he unveiled "Not Obligated" he had identified techno as the sound with which he resonated the most. Not Obligated was released as a two track EP on Journey Deep Records with a remix by legendary producer, Noel Sanger.

Considering his unique vantage point in the electronic music community, it's appropriate that he strongly believes in making music for the sake of music. He speculates that he's gravitated towards techno because it's relatively free of the empty icon worship of other subsets of pop culture. Whether because of this philosophy or for his extensive musical background, his dedication to sound itself is becoming of a modern DJ and producer.

Makin’ mixed tapes. 

Feel free to read the "Behind the Scenes" for any set to get the details on what was on my mind or in my heart at the time the set was recorded.
