In the words of a close friend (quoting the well known movie of course)…

“One of God’s own prototypes. Some kind of high-powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die”

BIO

Theo, known professionally as Captain Theo and CT, is an accomplished and passionate DJ whose vibrant performances have electrified audiences worldwide for nearly three decades. Since launching his career in 1996, Theo has brought his signature blend of Progressive Psy-Trance (as Captain Theo) and Melodic House, Techno, and Progressive (as CT) to stages across eight countries, sharing lineups with industry luminaries such as Nick Warren, John Digweed, Timo Maas, Martin Roth, and Guy J, to name but a few. His dynamic sets, marked by a knack for curating unforgettable musical journeys, have earned him a devoted following and a reputation as a trailblazer in the electronic music scene.

Beginning in the late 1990s, Theo pioneered Vancouver’s Hard House and Uplifting Trance scenes, leveraging the era’s vinyl culture to introduce cutting-edge sounds from London to North America. His technical precision, innovative mixing, and unique flair—often incorporating fire juggling into his performances—quickly established him as a standout talent, securing residencies in Vancouver and Seattle and headlining events across the continent. Theo’s global journey took him to Hong Kong, Europe, Australia, and beyond, where his ability to captivate crowds with high-energy, immersive sets solidified his place in the international DJ community.

Beyond the decks, Theo’s love for music is matched by his commitment to fostering creativity and connection. A natural leader, his moniker “Captain Theo” was organically bestowed by peers in Vancouver, reflecting his ability to guide audiences through transformative musical experiences. Today, he continues to inspire through private events, selective performances, and DJ lessons aimed at empowering aspiring artists with the technical skills and passion needed to excel. His recent performance at a local bush rave in 2025, alongside dedicated Shambhala festival-goers, reaffirmed his deep connection to the electronic music community and its evolution.

Now a proud father of two and stepfather to two others, Theo balances his musical pursuits with the joys and challenges of family life, finding profound reward in supporting and guiding the next generation. With plans to return to music production, Theo is poised to unveil the next chapter of his creative journey, promising fresh sounds that reflect his enduring passion and seasoned artistry. A true advocate for preserving the spirit of the rave, Theo invites audiences to join him in celebrating music’s power to uplift, unite, and inspire.
