Dj Treavor (Moontribe)

Treavor Walton a/k/a "DJ Treavor" is a composer, producer, DJ, A&R associate for a digital online label, and founding member of Moontribe. He's also a member of the famed Amani vs. Teapot, collaborator of the Desert Dwellers and a well known event promoter. Treavor was born in L.A. and began his musical career performing guitar in local bands as a teenager. By the end of high school in 1993, he discovered an underground rave scene that quickly fueled his musical talents in another creative direction: producing electronic music and experimenting with different musical tools beyond the guitar.

Being so inspired during that same year, a then very young and fresh Treavor co-founded Moontribe. Its mission was to create an alternative dance space for the then struggling L.A. underground DJ community. Today, Moontribe has become a leading name in the industry as one of LA's most recognized tribal dance-music-promotion teams, cultivating the presence of many of today's top DJs in the global underground scene with continued success of over 12 years. In the course of a twelve-year history, Moontribe and its members have been traveling the world spinning a unique sound of desert-inspired dance music with an intelligently crafted tribal blend of beats.

As Moontribe grew in stature, experience, and maturity, DJ Treavor did as well. After two years following the development of Moontribe, he became their resident DJ, performing at its Full Moon Gatherings, and continues to be a strong presence for Moontribe. This year marks his tenth year as a Moontribe artist, having built a reputation uniquely his own traveling all over North America and beyond participating in events such as The Shambhala Festival in Canada, Free Form Productions in Hamburg, Germany, and in Morocco for New Years 2001. His versatility and intelligence of music sets him apart from his fellow artists. Treavor is known for his blending of PsyTrance to chunky supercharged Breaks flowing over to a Progressive-Tribal House sound all while smoothing out even the thickest edges with grooving down-tempo ambiances. By age 20 he had 2 EP releases under his belt and had coordinated over 20 major Moontribe events.

DJ Treavor has in the past been most notably recognized as performing with music partner Amani Friend under the name "Amani vs. Teapot". The duo hand-crafted numerous EPs which were released on labels Ritual Sounds, System Recordings and Chug Records, as well as licensing music and remixing for Bedrock Records and Sunkissed Records. The project became world famous for its unique sound of Tribal Progressive House, and quickly earned the recognition of some of the world's best DJs, such as John Digweed, Chris Fortier, and John OO Flemming. As a result of the immense passion and creation of Amani vs. Teapot, the birth of "Desert Dwellers" has evolved in 2005. Desert Dwellers is a multi genre side-project introducing collaborator Jeff Steinmetz aka DJ Kepi. The three artists are making Desert Dwellers their central focus, together making this their full-time bloodline.

Treavor now resides in San Francisco after having been appointed in January 2005 as the Artist & Repertoire associate for INgrooves; a leading digital label and technology company. He has also joined forces with a team of producers / artists / engineers and event coordinators in the development of a new production company, "Sound Of Mind". With his new job, new production company, 12 years with Moontribe, nearly 20 years of making music, 250+ parties under his belt and a new project in the works, DJ Treavor is a name that is here to stay and will always be looked to for high quality music.
