jvst breathe’s Exclusive Mix on The DJ Sessions 9/23/25

About jvst breathe –

jvst breathe is a technologist turned artist whose path to the booth runs through a lifetime of music and a deep respect for tech. Long before club nights and late studio sessions, he spoke in melodies, building a foundation on classic instruments like trombone, trumpet, and violin. That early discipline trained an ear for tone, harmony, and dynamics. Hours of scales, ensemble rehearsals, and tiny breakthroughs built a quiet confidence that would later resurface on stage and in the studio. In high school and college, practical choices edged out creative ones, and jvst breathe stepped away from music to pursue computer science. The problem solving rush and elegance of a well written algorithm became his new canvas.

Years of emotional turbulence in romantic partnerships and struggle with addiction in his adult life caused the spark to reignite, and jvst breathe once again found himself taken by the music. Toward the end of 2022, after a couple years of research and development in big tech, he realized that modern music production is not far from programming at all. It is systems thinking with sound, architecture expressed as arrangement, and algorithms disguised as grooves. Once that connection clicked, tools that used to feel opaque suddenly became expressive, and jvst breathe dove headfirst into his new passion. 

Early 2023 brought a new obsession, DJing. What began as curiosity quickly became a craft, then a calling. Mixing gives structure to the producer’s imagination and an instant feedback loop with the people in the room. Every blend taught a lesson in energy, pacing, and restraint, and every set sharpened instincts that software could only hint at. By October 2023, after months of constant practice, jvst breathe played his first show at a small club in San Francisco, dropping his very first original track known as “Feel”. That milestone transformed private study into public promise, and friends into early supporters willing to stay until the lights came up.

Six months later, that promise demanded a leap. jvst breathe moved to Los Angeles, ready to dedicate the rest of his life to the music industry. He arrived with little more than a laptop, a car full of clothes and relentless ambition, taking on ninety hour weeks as an independent contractor to keep the lights on while chasing a sound of his own. His weeks were a perpetual cycle of coding and networking, battling insomnia and long periods of illness while still fighting to delegate time to music whenever possible. The grind was brutal and clarifying. It tested his resolve, sharpened his workflows, and proved that momentum lives in daily discipline long before a breakthrough ever arrives. 

Today, jvst breathe works as a software engineer at a social media marketing company, translating day job tools directly into the artist’s toolkit. Content is not an afterthought; it is part of the instrument rack. The aim is to bridge product thinking with artistic intuition so releases and performances feel intentional, iterative, and alive. The result is EDM that aims for clarity and lift, built to move a floor and linger afterward.

Looking ahead, jvst breathe is building deliberately, song by song, set by set, and system by system, knowing that longevity comes from process as much as from inspiration. The mission is simple and ambitious at once, to make records that feel inevitable and performances that inspire.

Step into a world where signal flow meets feeling, where code becomes cadence, and where every night is an invitation to just breathe.
