CamBro Conversations 334) Jezza & Jod - From Illegal Raves to Ibiza Superclubs
Today’s conversation is with Gio Vezza and Jordan O’Donnell, better known as Jezza & Jod. Two of Scotland’s fastest-rising DJs, producers, and co-founders of the PRTY collective.
From grassroots raves during lockdown to performing at Hi Ibiza, The Hydro, NRG Tenerife, and The Arches, their story is a blend of passion, persistence, and partnership. Beyond the decks, they’ve built one of the most recognisable event brands in the country, launched their own nightclub Tempo, and created a movement that’s redefining Scottish club culture.
In this episode, we go behind the music to explore how it all began, the discipline behind the madness, and what it really takes to scale from bedroom sets to international stages.
Expect to learn:
- How Jezza & Jod first started DJing together and built momentum after lockdown
- The origin story of PRTY and how the team split roles across events, branding, and performance

- How they balance the nightlife lifestyle with training, fitness, and recovery
- Behind-the-scenes stories from Hi Ibiza, The Hydro, and The Arches

- Their advice for young aspiring DJs on breaking into the scene
- The song that never fails to lift the roof (yes, we talk Innerbloom)
- Who would make the Jezza & Jod “Mount Rushmore” of DJs
