techno fans in new york and chicago should be pretty aware of jeff derringer by now. since launching oktave in october 2009 with partner kevin gregor, the former indie rocker has turned a passion for deeper electronic music into a respected dj and promoter career. but it is as a producer that jeff has begun to earn rising recognition elsewhere-throughout the us and beyond-with his records infiltrating europe via support from the likes of silent servent, chris leibing and peter van hoesen, along with many others that have graced oktave over the years.
