Biography
Jesse Walker has promoted his unique vision of underground dance music in Salt Lake City and the Mountain West since the early nineties. With an ear to the ground and eyes firmly fixed on the future sounds and vision of music, he has quietly become an influential touchstone in the dance community. Throughout the years Jesse has been associated with the next-best clubs and events in Salt Lake City including his own legendary Just Wanna Dance, Prism, and long running NiteLite gatherings. His unique ability to read and transform the energy where he plays has garnered him a devout following at home in Utah as well as praise from his peers across the spectrum of dance music.
When he's not playing host to some of the most respected DJ's in the country, "Mr." Jesse Walker can be heard mixing his uncompromising blend of deep, funky, intelligent music at a wide range of events, from festivals to fashion shows, rock concerts and sports exhibitions. Highlights include "REFLECTIVE SKIN," a collaborative sound installation he produced for the 2006 Utah Arts Festival, performances at the 2002 Winter Olympics, official Sundance Film Festival Galas, Salt Lake's Gay Pride and top billing with bands like WAR, EnVogue, Pepe Deluxe and Brazilian Girls. In 2008 Walker was voted "Best DJ" by readers of Salt Lake City Weekly Magazine. He also daylights as the Chief Visual Consultant at Contact Design in downtown Salt Lake.
Jesse Walker founded the website NewCityMovement.com in 1998 to promote the future of music, design and culture through the lens of life in the Intermountain West. "NCM" celebrated 10 years in 2008 while surpassing one million visitors.
