The Jamais Vu

Set with intention. Met with a beginner’s mind.

Bio

Jamais vu — French for “never seen” — is the phenomenon where the familiar feels strange. The opposite of déjà vu: where déjà vu finds the known in the new, jamais vu finds the new in the known.

Jamais dropped out of middle school and finished his first college degree by the age of sixteen. He’s an autodidact, a dancer, an Eagle Scout — and his life’s work is helping others find their flow.

Reine-Claire, his French film teacher, gave him his artist name when she heard him DJing as “DJ Vu.” “No,” she said. “You are always different but always the same. You are Jamais Vu.”

Hip-hop classics into classical. No genre is off limits. Cognizant of the crowd and the host’s intention, Jamais loves unlocking creativity for the dance floor.

Sound

Jamais is an underground DJ who draws from every genre to craft a tailored sound experience. He has opened internationally for Autograf, Caravan Palace, Claptone, and Puddles Pity Party. He has shared lineups with ARIUS, Diplo, Human Experience, Juliet Mendoza, Marques Wyatt, Oscar P, Snow Raven, TOKiMONSTA, and Vintage Culture. Jamais creates memorable moments at events such as warehouse parties hosted by the Lucent Dossier Experience, music festivals, international private events, and the Labyrinth of Jareth. Sets are prepared in advance, creating an experience that paints time with sound.

He started DJing in 2002 at goth and industrial clubs. Branching out to more genres due to an intense love of all good music, Jamais became resident DJ at ElectroSwing Club Hollywood — a residency that, incidentally, set off the chain of events that led to his marriage. Further eschewing formats, Jamais had a vision to blend a number of genres with smooth-as-butter transitions into the flow of a cohesive story. Hip-hop classics into classical. No genre off limits. Cognizant of the crowd and the host’s intention, Jamais loves unlocking creativity for the dance floor.
