Jefta Wattimena also known as Jephta, is a Dutch DJ based in Amsterdam and a resident of the Rotterdam-based organization Embodiment. Driven by passion, and inspiration derived mostly from multiple experiences on the dancefloor, he decided to pursue an artistic path as a DJ five years ago. Jephta quickly established himself in the local scene after playing at events like Orphic in Amsterdam and Extended in The Hague. His undeniable talent and intelligent approach to selection and mixing were recognized, which led him to playing bigger events such as Reaktor alongside artists like Anthony Linell, Planetary Assault Systems, Bjarki, and Oscar Mulero. Characterized by hypnotic, trippy and experimental sounds in his sets and heavily influenced by artists and labels like Drumcell, Ancient Methods, Northern Electronics and Posh Isolation, Jephta’s main goal is to make people feel the music he plays, which is often a selection of diverse sub-genres mixed in a smooth and consistent set. Driven by the values of techno culture and his own experiences and knowledge, he wants to offer the audience an opportunity to establish a connection or simply set their emotions free and enjoy the dance floor. Challenging himself to continuously improve and get more out of music, but also be able to provide the audience with more, has led him to creating a hybrid set up that consists of Traktor Pro 2 software with two Traktor control X1 MKll’s. To be really able to control the atmosphere, rhythms and intensity he added the Allen & Heath: Maschine MKll sampler. In order to make his set as fluent and dense as possible he always has 4 decks open. Being a resident of Embodiment is an honour to him, and as such his duty is to bring their vision to the community, but also to the newcomers in the scene, and together to create this special vibe and what in his eyes is a perfect club night.
