I no longer actively monitor this page.  For bookings, please make contact via Jay's Facebook page or through Instagram.

Jay’s bio spans twenty-five plus years of DJing in dark rooms with bright lights.  Twenty or so of those years have been spent developing a hardened and very pale studio tan.  So it goes.

Jay’s early days were spent in his bedroom trying to paste together ‘pause tapes’ of new wave bands he heard on late night Toronto radio.  That would all change with the rise of house and techno music in the 1980s from the close-by cities of Detroit, Chicago and New York.

By all accounts Jay was a strange kid.  At the age of 13, Jay had already amassed a record collection envious of the most avid adult collector.  In 1987, he heard house music for the first time on the radio and it all changed.  Early acid house classics like A Guy Called Gerald’s ‘Voodoo Ray’ and LNR’s ‘Work It To The Bone’ laid down an addiction that has never been relinquished.

His early days were spent honing his skills on the job at the various events he helped throw in his native Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada area.  Dodgy raves held in loft and empty warehouse spaces, free parties down by the local river, house parties, club nights and even the odd cheesy top 40 nightclub or wedding gig helped shape his sound today.  As Jay became more involved with the thriving rave scene in his surrounding area, his love for the sounds of the underground grew.  In turn, this saw him rising up through the ranks from a local DJ to a DJ/producer with a more global outlook and reach.  

Being a DJ and producer are almost synonymous these days, but Jay's love for throbbing kick drums naturally lead to music production at a time when computers and the Internet were in their infancy.  

Jay’s tracks have been released on vinyl, CD's, mp3's and DVD/BluRay.  His tracks have been used as backing music for the movie ‘Rolling’ (2008), licenses to DJ mix compilations like UK-charting ‘Slinky Trans:Atlantik’ (2004), and even oddities like a Japanese soft-porn DVD.  His productions have had airings from many of the world's better-known DJ glitterati.  Signings and remixes for labels like Sonambulist Recordings (UK), Bellarine Recordings (Australia), L2 Music (Germany), Park Limited Muzik (Japan), Unrivaled Music (UK), Endemic Digital (UK), Stripped Digital (UK), Fullbodysoundsystem (Canada) and even his own Tortoise Shell Recordings (Canada) have helped attain recognition for Jay’s music production skills. 

His DJ mixes have aired as a featured artist all over the radio dial in places like Canada, Colombia, Germany, Panama, Northern Ireland, Russia, Peru, France, Argentina, Mexico, Australia, Aruba and as well as on various Internet radio stations and blogs.

That’s all old news though. After a lengthy hiatus from DJing, Jay Kaufman is back on the decks fusing DJing with live production.  His production has started back up as well and you should be able to find his music through all good digital download retailers like Beatport, iTunes, Amazon and many others with releases anticipated throughout the remainder of 2016 and into 2017.

I'MPULSE Radio - exclusive podcasts, mixes, track preview, news in the world of music ! 
The path to real music is like wandering in the dark: slowly, by touch, with no clues or guidelines.
We believe I'MPULSE can lead the way. We believe it so much that we are ready to become your guide. We are a powerful impulse: bright as a supernova. A beam of energy that does not blind but helps to see. We will show you the way and we will not let you get off course.
I'MPULSE does not just unite musicians and listeners: we bring together a second and eternity, a jerk and rhythm, a fleeting moment and infinity. I'MPULSE is a flash without which the light is impossible. The pulse is the life itself. Together they give a start to a chain reaction.
I'MPULSE is the music like the first breath of fresh air. Music that does not hide in the dark.

Путь к настоящей музыке похож на поиск в темноте: медленно, наощупь, без подсказок и ориентиров. 
Мы верим, что I’MPULSE может подсказать путь. Верим настолько, что готовы стать проводником. Мы - мощный импульс: яркий, как вспышка сверхновой. Луч энергии, который не ослепляет, а помогает увидеть. Мы покажем дорогу и не дадим сбиться с курса.
I’MPULSE не просто объединяет музыкантов и слушателей: мы сводим секунду и вечность, рывок и ритм, мимолетное с бесконечным. I’MPULSE – вспышка, без которой невозможен свет. Пульс – сама жизнь. Вместе они дают начало цепной реакции.
I’MPULSE – это музыка, похожая на первый глоток свежего воздуха. Музыка, которая не прячется в темноте.
