BIO: SF Bay Area Saxophonist and DJ/Producer
Jeff Straw brings a lifetime of passion and experience to combining live saxophone with electronic music. With styles ranging from mellow downtempo, to his dancefloor shaking funky and tech house sets, he's an exciting performer to watch. A technically proficient DJ and soulful saxophonist, his performances are one of a kind.
In 2024 he started releasing one bootleg DJ Edit every week, and giving them away on his SoundCloud and Bandcamp pages. The response so far has been quite positive from fans and other DJs alike. Jeff’s DJ + Sax video mix series, recorded live at shows, have garnered over 75,000 views and 250,000 minutes watched on YouTube since launching in February of 2024.
Jeff (formerly known as DJ F) has been making a name for himself since arriving in the Bay in 1996. Known best for his dynamic saxophone performances, he’s also a well-respected DJ, guitarist, and producer. His on-stage energy and passion for the saxophone are unrivaled. His commitment to the electronic music scene has its roots in 1992. A multi-faceted artist, he’s also a professional photographer and video creator working with music artists to help develop their brands and create content.
He holds several residencies: Fridays at Elements Lounge on O’Farrell, Saturdays at La Mar Bar on the Embarcadero, and every Sunday he’s the DJ and booker for Sindustry Sundays at Butter, and a 3rd Saturday monthly at The Continental in San Jose called Heatwave House Sessions.
Recent high-profile gigs include Beacon Denver 2024 (Headlining), Paradisco Afterhours 2024 (Headlining), Outside Lands 2022 (with Duserock) and dates with his Steamy Windows crew at the Northern Nights Festival 2023 (River Stage), How Weird Street Faire, Breakfast of Champions, Motown on Mondays, Temple Rooftop, and Coachella 2x with Late Night Sneaky.
He’s also recorded and performed on sax with a who’s who of Bay Area DJs including Julius Papp, Claude von Stroke, Jonn Connor, Late Night Sneaky, Andy Caldwell, J Boogie, Rick Preston, Don Gordo Cabeza, and more. As a DJ he’s provided direct support for top tier artists such as Krafty Kuts, Tiesto, Kaskade, The Crystal Method, Hybrid, Deep Dish, Meat Katie, Tipper, and more.
