about
DJ Pete "Jester" Savas, is a native "New York City Boy" living in Salt Lake City, Utah, who started DJing in 1984. The nickname came as a result of his style, and more aptly, his personality: Between mixes, a glance at the booth is just as likely to find this DJ dancing with as much energy and enthusiasm as his crowds do. Pete has played most of the gay clubs in Salt Lake City at one time or another, and has been featured out-of-state at Bacchus House in San Diego, Faces in Sacramento, and The Cuff Complex in Seattle. He's headlined Utah's, and Southern Utah's Gay Pride celebrations since 1999, and earned the prestigious 2001 "Golden Spike Favorite DJ" award. Pete's ability to read the crowd and go beyond just what they want to what they need, has earned him past residencies at Cuff at Club Sound (2005), Club Axis (1999-2002) -- where he’s opened for DJs Don Bishop, Brett Henrichsen, Phil B, Neil Lewis, Joe Bermudez, DJ Jeremy, Brian Pfeifer, Julian Marsh, and Frank Abraham; at Zipperz (1999-2003); and at Club Blue (2003-2004), a local leather/Levi nightspot. Before that, Pete shared the Friday and Saturday night residency at The Sun in Salt Lake, from 1996-99, when it was blown away by a tornado. Pete was selected, out of a field of 24 DJs from around the country, to be the headliner for REAL BAD XVIII in San Francisco, on September 24, 2006, representing the culmination of a dream for Pete, and his debut on the "circuit scene." For Pete, DJing is about more than just
