Interview: 5 Minutes With Up And Coming DJ, Jarrad Cleofe

DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN A FEW WORDS:

I’m Jarrad an artist/accountant – really big into house music and dance music in general – this latest EP release is a collection of a few tracks I created after a trip down to LA, warm and summery vibes.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

San Francisco!

WHAT INSPIRES YOUR MUSIC?

Hmm a few things come to mind but it’d definitely be the early 2008’s house that Deadmau5/Kaskade were at the forefront of and in more modern times, I’d say Disclosure is a big one for me.

WHO WAS ON YOUR PLAYLIST GROWING UP?

Haha, well off the top of my head, Pharcyde, Deftones, Stone Temple Pilots, Metallica and Deadmau5.

IF YOU COULD COLLOBARATE WITH ANYBODY, WHO WOULD IT BE?

It’d be really fun to collaborate with Disclosure in any capacity tbh.

GOT ANY EXCITING GIGS COMING UP? – TALK US THROUGH WHAT YOU’RE UP TO:

Nothing major just yet but I’ve been dabbling in other genres lately. Definitely be on the lookout for collaborations I’ll be having with artists and other producers.

IF YOU COULD GIG ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE?

So my dream would be a tour in Europe and maybe Asia as well!
