Jay Haze stands out as a visionary in the world of techno and house, a true nonconformist within the blinkered scenes. But his work stands as testament to his highly revered stance, as an exceedingly prolific producer, DJ, live performer, collaborator and label owner. Jay Haze owns a variety of labels, each of which has their own characteristic sound and group of artists: the house-oriented TuningSpork; the harder hitting tech-based Contexterrior; the emotive, melody-laced sounds of the deeper end on Junion; and the downtempto dubby tones of FutureDub. Not to mention 2003™s Textone, Jay™s inventive creation of an online music magazine and internet label, which was created years before digital stores like Beatport, or the now-prevalent online magazines/blogs, had caught on. Beyond his own labels, Jay Haze™s genre-expanding, experimental productions have graced the catalogues of Playhouse, Kitty-Yo, Cocoon, Get Physical , and his remixes have been on labels far and wide, from Shikatapult to Playhouse to BPitch Control to Soma. After sharing a studio with Ricardo Villalobos in 2004, their groove-laden ˜Mellow Dee™ EP together in 2008 was a devastating hit on dancefloors around the world. In 2005, he released his debut LP on Kitty-Yo, ˜Love For a Strange World,™ an album that challenged the world of techno further by questioning genre lines and embracing all that™s unconventional and unpredictable. His more dancefloor (and humour) geared moniker Fuckpony launched his career with Get Physical, the ˜Children of Love™ album being a highly acclaimed album in 2006. 01 Intro 02 Jay Haze - Awakening - Tuningspork 03 Lil Dirty Ghetto Bastard - An Hour To Fly (Exclusive) - Tuningspork 04 Mike Dunn AKA Mr. 69 - Phreaky Motherfucker - Robsoul 05 Lump Ft.
