JEFF HOPKINS Biography
Jeff Hopkins from St. Louis, Missouri was introduced to the electronic music scene in 1990 when he became a regular at 1227, a club which was located on Washington Ave. in St. Louis, MO. His passion for electronic music continued to grow through the nineties and into the millennium. In 2000 he started throwing parties in his home and on the 23rd floor of the old Laclede Gas building in downtown St. Louis. These were historic parties that club goers will never forget. Friend DJ Kid Delicious complemented Jeff’s ear for music that was unique and great to dance to. Positive reinforcement and a magnetic influence was all it took for Jeff to purchase his first dj equipment in 2001. It was dj’ing where Jeff found his true passion and began expressing himself in a profound way. He was able to learn the basics by watching Pavel (DJ Rocket) work his magic in the booth. Pavel also introduced Jeff to deep, dark house, the roots of Jeff’s ever growing style. Within a year, Jeff earned residencies at two of St. Louis’ top clubs. Velocity Promotional Group picked up Jeff in 2002 and then he went on to work with LaLaLand Entertainment before venturing out on his own in 2004. | read more
