The one called Electrokid was just a mild-mannered happy funkster named Jed until he happened upon his first rave in February 1996. Following an electro-themed warehouse party New Years Eve 1997, Jed was hooked by the dope beats and began the metamorphosis from casual everyday'er to the DJ known as Electrokid. 1998 brought him into the grasp of two 1200s and instantly he became a hometown house party favorite serving up healthy portions of booty-shakin' bliss. Following the last year of the millennium Electrokid was booked for his first rave and with a boom-boom-blip and after a couple hours of smiling faces and gyrating bodies the transformation was utterly complete.

Since then, Electrokid has gone on to become a regular staple DJ in Oregon with the particular honor of being widely recognized as one of the state's premier breakbeat talents with many performances of electro, drum and bass, and 2-step also to boot. Such as his reputation was-and-is in bringing deliriously funky sets, he has been booked up and down the West Coast, Canada as well as on the East Coast along such notable talents as Rennie Pilgrem, Tipper, FreQ Nasty, Aquasky Vs. Masterblaster, Atomic Hooligan, Dieselboy, UFO!, R.A.W., Aphrodite, Simply Jeff, DJ Who, Huda Hudia, Sharaz, Taj, Junior Sanchez, Charles Feelgood, Single Cell Orchestra, Freaky Chakra, Wyatt Earp, DJ Morgan, Stareyes, Bahamut, Primordial Nature, Charlotte the Baroness, Deacon, DJ Brian, Diz, Heretic, Vishnu, DJ Brad, DJ Dazy, Mr. Annand, DJ Rap, and more.

Electrokid continues his unabashed assault on the senses with continued sought-after performances into the new millennium. His sixth sense ability to read crowds and divergent skill for bridging the sets of the DJs of various genres before and after him into a continuous, solid flow has made him a favorite for promoters and event-goers alike. For those of you who know, you very well know, and for those of you who don't-- don't miss any opportunity to catch his next set coming to a phalanx of bass bins near you.
