About Jeff:

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 disco 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. Not many people play an instrument while they DJ, let alone have over 3 decades of experience. Over the course of thousands of gigs... Jeff Straw's energy and enthusiasm for performing are unmatched.

Starting 2025 off strong, Jeff played the Season Opener for Back to Mine in Ibiza with Sasha at Pike’s. He’s running a new monthly event with Major Trouble at Public Works called Groove Outpost.

His saxophone work is featured on 3 DJ Spen remixes for Quantize Recordings (one of them hit #5 on Traxsource), as well as saxophone feature with Roland Clark on his single Julep.

Expect a sophisticated blend of chilled out house, deep minimal tech house, and funky delights with my trademark live saxophone riffs all night long. The music pairs perfectly with their gorgeous cocktails, incredible list of spirits, delicious food, and upscale ambience.

SATURDAY! Open to close I’m featured at downtown San Jose’s favorite spot, The Continental. It’s been a minute since I’ve rocked the incredible soundsystem at The Continental. I can’t wait to come back and roll some new funky disco house and drop some tech house heaters as well. Expect a journey throughout the night mixed with some new stuff and some classics!

439 S. First Street, San Jose, CA

Making my debut at Elia in San Carlos. This should be a fun evening for folks on the peninsula. Expect some afro house, and funky deep disco house tracks!

Alexx Gold starts the evening off during dinner from 7-10-ish. I’ll hop in on sax around 9:30 and take over the decks sometime after 10.

Making my Paris 75 debut.

THe night features a nice array of music from myself, Del G Audio, Dan Guan, Cy Da Kid
