C-Jay

noutati

Nascut in 1976, polivalentul artist olandez C–Jay a manifestat de timpuriu interes fata de muzica electronica si experimentala, influentat fiind de artisti ca Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis sau Tangerine Dream, primele incercari artistice datand inca de la varsta de 11 ani cand a inceput sa studieze atat instrumente muzicale cat si digitale.

Acum, la varsta de 30 de ani, C-Jay este un artist complet: fost proprietar de magazin de muzica (Sessions Recordstore), dj, producator, proprietar de casa de productie si promotor al propriului eveniment "The Sessions".

De-a lungul anilor a avut drept invitati, la evenimentele proprii, dj de referinta: James Holden, Chris Fortier, Quivver, Chris Cowie, Jaydee, Anthony Pappa, Mo Shic, Andy Jarrod, Fred Numf, Jonathan Lisle, etc. De cateva ori pe an C-Jay organizeaza propriile petreceri in cluburi de top din Olanda, precum Paradiso, Club XL sau Lexion Venue.

In calitate de artist/producator, C-Jay a avut prima lansare in primavara anului 2004, cand melodia SwayWatch a fost lansata sub sigla casei de productie Moun10, primind un suport masiv din partea unor artisti ca The Flash Brothers, Chris Fortier si Fred Numf, captand astfel rapid atentia profesionistilor din domeniu.

Imediat a lansat a doua piesa, impreuna cu prietenul sau JayDee, la First Impression Recordings, fiind sustinuta, cantata si promovata de Armin Van Buuren, Ton TB, Paul Van Dyk, The Flash Brothers, Carl Cox, Chris Fortier si altii. Melodia a urcat pe cele mai inalte pozitii ale renumitului clasament mondial Balance Record Pool.

Datorita succesului repurtat cu aceste doua lansari, C-Jay decide sa deschida propria sa casa de productie "The Sessions Recordings". Ideea de la care a pornit a fost aceea de a avea libertate totala in ceea ce priveste lansarea propriilor sale materiale, fara a depinde de alti producatori, si de a atrage si mai mult atentia "barosanilor" din industrie. In foarte scurt timp C-Jay a lansat 3 vinyl-uri sub numele propriei sale case de productie ajungand la rezultatul dorit: casele de productie consacrate au devenit din ce in ce mai interesate de el ca artist, obtinand astfel recunoastere mondiala si devenind astfel un adevarat producator.

In noiembrie 2005, prima sa co-productie cu bunul sau prieten Mick Wilson (Anglia) a aparut pe compilatia renumitei casei de productie olandeze Cyber Records. Aceasta capodopera, DARKISM, este favorita renumitilor Anthony Pappa si Hernan Cattaneo care au folosit-o in seturile lor pe tot parcursul verii si toamnei 2005.

Pana in prezent C-Jay a semnat contracte de producator cu Climax Recordings (Anglia), Plastik Park (Germania), Cyber Records, Existence Recordings (Canada) si 19Box Recordings (Japonia). Pe langa acestea a fost solicitat de catre faimosul producator D-Nox sa faca un remix pentru unul dintre artistii aflati sub contract cu el.

Inca de la inceputul anului 2005 artisti precum Hernan Cattaneo, Anthony Pappa, Quivver, Shiloh, Satoshi Tomiie, Parham, D-Nox, DJ 19 si Kasey Taylor au promovat si folosit productiile sale in toata lumea, din Asia pana in SUA si Canada, faptul ca acestia sunt fani ai lui C-Jay dovedind inca o data valoarea acestuia.

In ultimii doi ani C-Jay a sustinut turnee in Polonia, Olanda, Germania, Grecia, Belgia si Ucraina demonstrand peste tot ca este un profesionist desavarsit, ramanand fidel motto-ului sau: "Progressive is an attitude...".

DJ 19 (19box Recordings Japan)

C-Jay is a guy who wants to develop, develop in every way he can.
The new generation... I know him as a serious player on the decks and as a fine producer.

If one person knows how to explain the word Progressive to you than he is.

Progressive is his thing, besides playing it he is a good producer as well. I think we can talk about a multi talented guy here. Besides of this all C-Jay is is down to earth and honest... and you can't say that from all the other talented guys these days. C-Jay... keep that name in mind...
