Bio

DJ AnandaJi’s (Andy Peri) DJ’ing passion lies in creating ecstatic “waves” with fellow dancers spanning sweet, gentle ambient and downtempo melodies to rhythmic world beats, building to a crescendo of variations of house, bass, tropical house, drum and bass, trance remixes and dubstep grooves.

AnandaJi DJ’ed 2016, 2017 and 2018 in cities throughout China as part of his teaching of Contage (contact improv massage). During the 2020 & 2021 pandemic, AnandaJi hosted forest dances in central Marin County supporting the community in dancing together in a covid-safe “container”.

AnandaJi has been dancing in the conscious dance movement world for more than 30 years and is a life-long musician who plays primarily bass, saxophone and ukulele.   Despite his fondness for acoustic music, AnandaJi has fallen in love with a wide range of electronic dance music over the past decades. Some of his favorites include EDM remixes of a wide range of genres, including pop, hip hop, jazz and R&B. He began studying the art of DJ’ing while caring for his dear late wife, Deb Hubsmith beginning in 2014.
