Recorded live @ Lotus Moon Gatherings on 4/12/2025, this set took about 5 months to put together digging through about 10k tracks looking for hidden gems of the 90s. This euphoric trance set includes some of my favorites as well as some lost treasures. Good luck with Shazam ; )

Jess Van Ness Live! @ LMG 2025-04-12 - 90s Trance

Future Dates:
May 1, 2026- Lotus Full Moon Gathering - San Diego 

Son to an outlaw and raised in the undercurrents of Los Angeles, Jess Van Ness has always gravitated toward the fringes of society. After years of traveling the world and absorbing underground cultures across continents, Jess is now based in San Diego—continuing to channel that global influence into his art. 

His earliest obsessions were with music that lived in the shadows: the rebellion of punk rock, the raw edge of industrial, the haunting textures of dark wave. Even in the ‘80s, when he was breakdancing on concrete floors, rhythm was already a way of bending reality and defying the ordinary.

By the time the ‘90s rave movement erupted, Jess was immersed in it—captivated not just by the beats but by the way DJs sculpted experiences that transcended the dancefloor. In 1999 he stepped behind the decks himself, cutting his teeth under the alias Transit, channeling the fierce energy of Hard Trance, Euphoric Trance, Tech Trance, Goa, and NRG. It was never about recognition—it was about devotion to sound, movement, and the underground.

His restless creativity soon pushed further. From 2000 to 2006, Jess ran Electrofusion Radio, an internet pirate station broadcasting the pulse of the underground to whoever could find the signal. His palette expanded into progressive and organic grooves, dark techno, raw breaks, drum and bass, and psychedelic trance. Genres became tools, not boundaries. Each set unfolded like a labyrinth: dark yet hypnotic, primal yet refined, industrial yet human.

An introvert at heart, Jess lets the music speak louder than spectacle. Two decades later, he remains deeply committed to the underground, carrying that ethos forward as a founder of Lotus Moon Gatherings.

For Jess, there are no limits, no gimmicks, no ego—only the alchemy of sound, mystery, and the unspoken connection between DJ and dancer. Never bound by genre and always guided by energy and emotion, his sets are hypnotic odysseys: enigmatic, layered, and deeply human.
