D-Caf - Drum&Bass/House/Techno
Luke “The D-Caf” Hansen is the youngest and newest addition to JE. He is 16 years old (17 in April) and a piping hot cup of pure energy. When he was just 8 years old, he started listening to artists such as Darude, Paul Oakenfold, and The Ministry Of Sound. A few years later, he started to listen to an “underground” electronic music internet radio station formerly known as XTC Radio London. His roots can be traced back to the deep, tribal, and progressive sounds that emitted from XTC FM’s servers. XTC Radio taught Luke what real “underground” EDM (Electronic Dance Music) was like, which helped him begin to “get it”. Luke instantly became infatuated with learning all he could about the music, the scene, and “turntablism”. As a result, “The D-Caf” was born. About 6 months later, Luke purchased his first mixer and set of CDJ’s. After another year of practice, gathering music, and a rather expensive upgrade of equipment, he started to post on the highly regarded St. Louis Raver board where he met Den-E and the other members of JE. By proving his skill and dedication to the scene through quality mix tapes and his caffeinated personality, Luke was initiated into the Jaded Elite as the next generation of what this scene has to offer. Currently, Luke is a server administrator for XTC FM and hosts frequent live sets that reach the ears of people all around the world. He is undoubtedly infected with the DJ bug and spends incredible amounts of his time looking for perfect “gems” of sound to present to listeners through his internet broadcasts and occasional gigs at local venues. Luke spins a wide variety of styles including deep and tribal progressive, funky and dirty house, liquid and techstep drum & bass, and a touch of minimal hard techno here and there. Be sure to watch out for this young’un at future events because he will pour a whole energy drink on your head if you don’t!
