JEFFREY SCOTT

A staple of the Washington D.C scene, Jeff recently relocated to New York City to further pursue music. His name has quickly risen here and he is now resident for the new events put on by Esthetik.

JEN LUSKER

Born into a military family in Seoul, Korea, Jen Lusker grew up living in a number of countries and, all the while, taking in the sounds from these diverse landscapes. This diversity has formed the foundation for her love of music, but it was her early exposure to House music while her father was stationed in Germany in her formative years that cemented her deep love for dance music.

Upon graduating college and working at NASA, Jen moved to NYC as base to further express her constant regard for music, art and technology as a creative outlet. Beginning the rounds in NYC's dance music scene as a manager at Satellite Records, Jen met and worked with many NYC dance music stalwarts. Quick to make friends, and full of enthusiasm and talent she found herself DJing at many of the city's top dance music venues, including Pacha, Crobar, Spirit, Frying Pan and her base residency at the Sullivan Room.

While quite successful as a DJ and promoter, Lusker felt that there was something missing from her list of accomplishments and in 2007 she turned her focuses inward. Focusing on the circuit board rather than the dancefloor she rechanneled her passion for music from playing to creating, and in 2008 landed a design job to create the circuit boards for a revolutionary new sample based drum machine called "Beat Thang".

In 2009 she combined her interest in technology and spirituality to begin work on "Prana" with long time friend and fellow celebrated artist Chris Klapper. Prana, a large-scale interactive sculptural light installation, is their largest technological undertaking to date. With support from the Brooklyn Arts Council, and a scheduled exhibition at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn in the fall of 2010, Prana is the next logical step in Jen's diverse creative evolution.

And, all the while that Jen has been DJing, creating new drum machines, and making the digital world a better place she has been quietly and methodically teaching herself how to create music. With guidance from her long time friend Elon, and Konque label bosses David Last and Sasha Kaline, she began creating what she'd been hearing in her head all along.

Taking cues from techno, house, jazz, minimalism and dub, her music inhabits a place that is new and refreshing, classic and modern but timeless. Creating music that is intentionally genre-agnostic, her music exists in a place somewhere in between the dancefloor and the living room ... but always from the heart.
