Jody Wisternoff

Jody Wisternoff is a Bristol-based DJ and producer well known for being one-half of veteran house and trance duo Way Out West, as well as maintaining a solo career producing deep and progressive house.

Launching his career in 1986 at the age of 13 as a finalist at the DMC World DJ Championship, Wisternoff honed his craft at the forefront of UK rave culture, playing warehouses for seminal promoters Fantazia and Universe, and hosting a residency at the iconic Lakota club in Bristol. After a chance encounter in a record store, Wisternoff joined forces with Nick Warren to form Way Out West. The luminary duo rose to fame in the 1990s with several UK-charting singles and a UK dance number one in Mindcircus, quickly followed by a 1997 album Way Out West, which saw critical and commercial success.

Wisternoff has now positioned himself as one of the UK’s finest talent-spotters and DJs as part of the Anjunadeep label family, where he co-curates the chart-topping annual compilation series and released his acclaimed studio album Nightwhisper. Released in December, Welcome To My World has amassed over 5 million streams and earned support from Gorgon City, Super Flu, Eelke Kleijn, Nick Warren, and Tim Green. The album also gained global recognition at radio, including on SiriusXM Chill, and reached the top 5 on Beatport's Dance, Breaks, Electronica, and Organic House charts.
