Lee Mayjahs? ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Lee Mayjahs? represents a new breed of DJ. As possibilities continue
to expand and genres multiply, the whole idea of DJing has evolved to
a point no one could have predicted. Lee Mayjahs? is not merely a DJ,
but rather, an artist who creates an environment through both sound
and dynamic imagery. Those who have witnessed a Lee Mayjahs? DJ set
will attest that it’s nearly a spiritual experience.
Musically, Mayjahs? was influenced by a blend of New Wave, Hip Hop and
Punk Rock. These genres combined with the most upfront 4/4 driven
records are what makes up the musical portion of a Lee Mayjahs? set.
However, it was on a 1999 trip to the Nevada desert that Mayjahs?
became enamored with the Burning Man scene and its bohemian culture.
Mayjahs? witnessed unsupervised desert raves where the only thing that
mattered was great music and freedom. This was also a community of
people that didn’t fit the stereotypical clubbers that you’d find at
hotspots around the world. There was no guestlist or bottle service.
Hell, you couldn’t even call these people hardcore dance music fans,
per se. They were just music fans. This was a chance to be liberated
and part of something special.
Having religiously attended Burning Man since 1999, Mayjahs? became
one of the original founders of “The Philadelphia Experiment” (PEX).
Essentially, this project brings together people from all lifestyles
into one local Philadelphia-based Burning Man community. Growing in
numbers exponentially, there are now several huge Philadelphia
Experiment parties occurring throughout the year. These events are
infamous for marrying solid beat driven music with various performance
artists and specially themed attractions. Mayjahs? also spins at
various Burning Man related events throughout the country.
While Burning Man and The Philadelphia Experiment might seem like a
long journey, this is nothing new for a man out to live life to its
fullest. It all starts back in the 1980’s when Mayjahs? spent time
spinning, promoting and even working the door for parties in Maryland
(his home town) and Santa Fe, New Mexico (location of his college).
After finishing his education commitments, Mayjahs? made his way back
to the east coast and settled for a time in Philadelphia where he
started working at the legendary “Bank” nightclub (venue DJ greats
King Britt, Josh Wink and Dozia got their start.) Throughout the early
90’s Lee worked in various capacities at such venues as the Trocadero,
Theater of the Living Arts, Mann Music Center, Tower Theater, Club
Xero, Circa, Milk Bar, Revival, Space, Brazil’s, Silk City and The
Electric Factory. In 1995 Lee moved to California and lived in San
Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles until returning to Philly in 1999
(the same year he would attend Burning Man for the first time.)
Lee Mayjahs? recently aligned himself with critically acclaimed
eclectic electronic music label Playloop Records and is currently
working in the studio with Smitty, Ross D, King Britt and Playloop
Honcho Justin Paul on a full-length debut EP scheduled for release in
2009. One can only imagine what the soundtrack to this artists
exciting life will sound like!
