The DJ Dances!

in San Francisco, CA.
Who is this guy?
DJ Pete "Jester" Savas, is a native New Yorker 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 likely to find this DJ dancing with as much energy and enthusiasm as his crowds do. Pete was selected, out of a field of 24 DJs from around the country, to be the headliner for REAL BAD XVIII (2006) at San Francisco's 1015, playing a nine-hour "soaring, triumphant" set to a packed house of 2,300!Since then, Pete has been back to San Francisco for Gus Bean's "Sanctuary," the "PLAY" T-dance, "Swallow," and is the newest resident DJ of "Bearracuda;" "Fireball" at Winter Pride in Vancouver, BC, Canada; opening L.A. Leather Weekend in March at "Hard Tribe;" getting Bear Week off to a rollicking start at P-town's Crown & Anchor with the "G.R.U.F.F. Ball;" and wowing crowds on the playa at Burning Man 2007. Additionally, Pete launched his Podcast, "Press Play," (available through the Apple iTunes store) in 2007.
Pete has played most of the gay clubs in Salt Lake City at one time or another, opening for guest DJs Don Bishop, Brett Henrichsen, Phil B, Neil Lewis, Joe Bermudez, Julian Marsh, Brian Pfiefer, and Frank Abraham; 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 Salt Lake's 2008 Winter Pride; earned the prestigious 2001 "Golden Spike Favorite DJ" award, was featured at Queer Lounge in Park City during 2008's Sundance Film Festival.
Musically, Pete's something of a chameleon. Whether you're looking for dark-and-dirty, fun-and-funky, dreamy-and-euphoric, or just a good healthy dose of diva and house, this DJ delivers, adjusting his sound to the venue and the audience. But don't just take our word for it, listen for yourself! He'll definitely leave you begging for more.
For Pete, DJing is about more than just a packed dance floor; it's about sharing the music he loves. That passion is evident every time he takes to the decks.
