Jody Wisternoff
Even though Jody Wisternoff started scoring hits and DJ-ing at raves when most kids are still studying at school, he’s kept that momentum going throughout his storied career as one of the foremost pioneers of deep and progressive House. After getting to the final of the DMC world championships at the ripe old age of just 13, there was no stopping Jody’s career – hit tracks and a number one album with electronic duo Way Out West, a wildly successful solo career and DJ gigs all over the globe naturally followed. Nowadays, he’s closely involved with Anjunadeep, the more musically diverse imprint of Anjunabeats, where he and James Grant mix their famous compilation albums.
