"A full pelt wavering between tribal moments, hard-funking electro synths & more modest slabs of Detroit-inspired soul.
The crowd respond at every turn." - Steve McLay, DJ MAG
So now that the word is out, it's about time to catch up with the man himself: Vancouver-based DJ, producer, remixer and robot collector,
Jay Tripwire has come a long way since the stand out 2001 release of ''Mastakilla'' (Lunar Tunes uk/bluedaze in USA) &
his massive remix of the classic monster "Nervous Acid". Jay's productions now prove to be essential to any dancefloor!
Celebrating over 50 releases with over a hundred thousand records sold on some of the finest labels underground house music has to offer,
with his music featured on commercially released mix CD's by artists such as Slam, Nick Warren & Danny Howells,Chris Fortier,George Morel,Tyler Stadius,Onionz & Joeski, and charted by everyone from John Digweed to Terry Francis to Fred Everything, Jay's music has a vast range of appeal, crossing the boundaries between deep house and tech house, even pulling progressive DJ's into playing house.
Jay has played in numerous cities across the globe at some of the finest clubs the world has to offer such as regular apearances at Fabric, Subterrain@The End,Blond@AKA, Propoganda in Moscow, Bedrock@Heaven, The Bomb, System, OTV, Ottozutz and beyond from Moscow to Japan, and London to Barcelona.
Jay has recently joined forces with Chicago's heavyweight Mazi (Audio Soul Project, Studio Nova) to form a duo by the name of "The Clones". They have had numerous successful gigs already, and have begun production together under the Clones moniker, with their first release set to drop on Jay's Spaced Out imprint after WMC 2004.
We know there are plenty of choices out there, but when it comes to naughty basslines and dirty grooves there's only one name: Jay Tripwire.
