JSTJR’s “Techno Playground II” Pre Party @ Exchange LA (21+)
Let’s meetup for JSTJR!
JSTJR: Global Bass Innovator & Rave Ambassador
James S. T. Jr., better known as JSTJR (pronounced “gesture”), is a Los Angeles–based DJ and producer originally raised in Boston and New Hampshire. Fusing global rhythms—baile funk, zouk bass, moombahton—with hip-hop and experimental electronic sounds, he’s emerged as a fresh and boundary-defying voice in dance music.
His breakout came via remixes and tracks on high-profile labels like Mad Decent, Fool’s Gold, Insomniac Records, SMOG, and Monstercat—the latter featuring his take on Gammer’s “The Drop” in 2018. JSTJR’s originals, including “Stop Me” and his bootleg of Kendrick Lamar’s “M.A.A.D. City,” received praise from genre legends Skrillex, Diplo, Dillon Francis, and GTA.
Beyond producing, he’s a vibrant live performer, lighting up festivals and clubs worldwide—EDC Las Vegas among them—and is the creative force behind “Group Chat,” a monthly LA rave series and record label through Insomniac that has grown into a global brand.
An energetic online persona dubbed “Rave Daddy,” JSTJR connects with fans across social platforms, sharing viral videos and fostering a community-driven vibe. With a hybrid, genre-fluid style and infectious stage presence, JSTJR continues to push global bass into rave culture’s future, asserting himself as a key architect of modern dance music.
