Joe Pea is a seasoned electronic music DJ and producer hailing from The Majestic Pacific Northwest, USA. His musical journey began with a childhood passion for percussion, leading him to play drums in various bands across the Western United States. In 1999, a transformative experience in the Arizona Desert, hooked him on electronic music and the culture, prompting him to transition from live bands to DJing and vinyl collecting.
Over the past two decades, Joe has become a prominent figure in the West Coast underground dance scene, performing at renowned festivals such as Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle, Dirtybird Campout, Desert Hearts, and Oregon Eclipse Festival. He has shared the stage with notable artists including Claude VonStroke, Richie Hawtin, and DJ Dan. Although Joe has fully moved to the PNW, he is still a resident DJ at Dance Klassique, San Diego’s longest-running house music weekly.
Beyond his performances, Joe is a passionate advocate for the dance floor as a sacred space for community and connection.
