American elektro-shaman, Woody McBride, aka DJ ESP, rocks the world with his unique style of tribal techno, acid house, breakbeats, elektro, ambidelics, hardtek and authentic minimal techno.

His own label Communiquecontinues to promote the underground sound and push it into the future.

Either LIVE PA or Vinyl DJ sets, ESP always delivers hard psychedelic tribal dance music in a way that only he does. “I get up there and play like I am playing at Mayday, Nature One or Further… In 1988 I saw Metallica in my small home town of Bismarck, ND and for the 100 of us that were there, they played like there were 50,000 screaming fans… I learned my lesson that night… give it your all every time…

ESP has flown over 7 million miles worldwide performing at some of the best and worst events the techno scene has ever known. “I love this life… I love the music I play… I love the people I get to party with!” His 1000’s of gigs include Mayday, Nature One, Dragon Ball, Elektromind, Rex Club, Orbit, Further, Acid Wars, Church, Eurobeat 2000, Big One, Underground Sound, Monox, Ultraschall, Tresor, Cubik, Summer Set, Bassgasm, Terriakianarkisaki and many more…

He plays weekly on several international radio stations and works tirelessly to create new music for the galactic consciousness.

Express yourself and explore yourself with the inner shamen in us all. Do it all naturally without the use of addictive drugs and food. Be stronger than the forces in the world the want to enslave you.
