JEFF HUNTER
Minneapolis, MN – Breakbeat
Jeff Hunter was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota and while in high school, Jeff heard his first ‘techno’ song. It was ‘James Brown is Dead’ by L.A. Style. This was to be the beginning of his transformation into what we call a ‘techno-head’.
The second catalyst of this transformation came about when Jeff journeyed to Duluth, Minnesota to attend college. While at college he had the opportunity to get a time slot on KUMD public radio. He hooked up with dj Diene and they became ‘The Harmonic Sideshow’. This is where Jeff Hunter learned the sacred art of beat matching.
The third and final key to Jeff’s transformation happened in the summer of 98′. He and some friends, including CK Decksterhaven, went to Milwaukee for a party. When Jeff got there he realized that this wasn’t just a party, it was a rave. Proceed 98′, outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin in a recreation center was where Jeff’s transformation into a techno-head became complete.
Jeff has been a staple in the Midwest electronic music scene for over a decade now having played at events from Fargo to Chicago and from Duluth to Omaha. He’s been one of the driving forces behind the increasing popularity of breakbeat music in Minnesota and the surrounding states. His style is comprised mostly of various breakbeat sounds, including Funky, Acid, Progressive, and Nu-Skool Breaks. Keep your eyes open for Jeff Hunter at events around the Midwest.
