After stepping back from nightlife in 2010, Rivers returned to DJing publicly in 2023 and has become a familiar presence across LA’s community-driven dance floors. He has shared lineups with John Tejada, Maayan Nidam, Doc Martin, Daniel Bell and other respected names across the West Coast and beyond. His sets move through house, minimal, dubwise textures, and left-field rhythms—always intentional, rooted in a deep knowledge of records and a genuine love for the music. Wolf Story has been active in the dance music scene for over 20 years. As a DJ, he has shared the stage with artists such as Josh Wink, Cosmic Gate, and Popof. As a producer he’s worked with Grammy award-winning artist Roger Sanchez and released several EPs on Get Physical Music (Berlin) and Nervous records (NYC).He has also mentored emerging DJs in Paris, Miami and now in Los Angeles.
