DJ Jester - Live at the White Rabbit (CA)

Ever stumble upon a hidden gem? Here’s one: a bootleg recording of a bootleg! Travel back to January 21st, 2007, when DJ Jester the Filipino Fist warmed up the crowd for of Montreal and A Hawk and a Hacksaw at San Antonio’s White Rabbit (now Paper Tiger). This raw, live mix was captured by an audience member named Spaztrick, offering a pure glimpse into Jester’s vinyl-only setup of two turntables and a Rane TTM-56 mixer. Experience the unadulterated ‘Jester weirdness’ of that time: a surprising Neutral Milk Hotel start, a left-field George Strait interlude, and his unforgettable Chet Atkins meets 50 Cent conclusion. As Jester puts it, “This is definitely an old school Jester mix…before my pupils had to dilate while DJing from looking at a screen…and I danced on stage and clowned around on the mic more. If you know you know!”
