Bumpy Nuggets Live @ Immersejawn 7/2/2023.  Its all about the journey...

Bumpy Nuggets - A Yellow Shade of Jawn

Proximity

Step into a sonic utopia where rhythms intertwine and beats paint the canvas of a paradise dystopia.  This music mix takes you on a journey through the realms of deep house, sparking the night with its hypnotic cadence. Electro pulses add an electrifying charge to the atmosphere, while minimal tech beats create an avant-garde landscape. Soulful melodies emerge, weaving a tapestry of emotions, and funky house grooves beckon you to dance amidst the utopian chaos.  This is more than a Dj set; it's a curated voyage through the harmonious dissonance of a world where bliss and discord collide in rhythmical splendor. Welcome to the soundscapes of a paradise dystopia.

DTR - Seize The Day 2024

Last year I started my journey as a musical artist and launched YES! Records (with Jon and Jason). Creating beautiful original music to add to our collective global consciousness has filled my heart and soul in way that I previously could not imagine. I want there to be more love, more joy, more connection, more acceptance, more play, more inspiration, more hope, and more dancing in our world! That is my voice as an artist and inspiring that world to manifest is what I’m here to do.

Having a music label allows my to seek out, directly support, and uplift other artists who have the same mission and fill the world with the same flavor of beautiful, intention-filled music. Music is connecting, it is healing, it resonates within us on a deeper level. It can spark joy, open hearts, excite dance, and expand minds. So with YES! Records, in a not so small way, I can help create a more loving and compassionate world. What a blessing! What a gift!

Speaking of gifts, today I would like to share the gift of 90 incredible minutes of dance music with you. This is my set from our YES! Records label laugh party and represents the current state of my heart and soul. Four of my tracks are stinging right in with many of my favorite records of the year and some of my favorite artists of all time; this is incredible company to be in.

Thank you for allllll the love and support and encouragement you’ve given me as I’ve walked this path! We are doing this together for love can only be shared!

MAMÍxPAPÍ LIVE @ LOVE & LOUNGE MIAMI LOVE BURN 2024

A mix of remixes and mashups I put together over the last year

Velourian Memories

It's been a tough year but music helps keep me going thru it all. This mix has a darker vibe with lots of indie dance, techno, a little breaks but also balanced with lighter melodic tech, bouncy synth wave, and gorgeous remixed trance courtesy of Yotto. Hope you enjoy the tunes and thanks for listening!

\\\\////\\\\//// ~BIO~ \\\\////\\\\////

Cptn Jay has been bringing joy to dance floors in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond for over 20 years with unforgettable DJ sets, stand-out original releases, and the production of truly unique event experiences. Starting his journey in the early 90s Oakland rave scene with a handful of German techno tapes, The Captain has grown from dance music super fan to DJ to event producer to Burring Man them camp organizer to independent dance music label owner.

At his core, Cptn Jay lives to incite love and joy with his music, connect with the crowd, and take the dancefloor on a musical journey. Occupying a unique space between soaring melodies, groovey European techno, and funky deep house, Jay's music is filled with rich analog synthesis, bubbling aprs, beautiful melodies, world rhythms, wonkey baselines and good vibes; tracks that are masterfully composed and selected with a certain refinement that has gotten him noticed as one of the West Coast's top underground talents. Obsessed with putting the "dance" back into “electronic dance music" Jay’s original music and DJ sets consistently move crowds to higher places on dance floors all over the world. From the deserts of Burning Man to the island of Ibiza, Cptn Jay has shared stages many of the world's top DJ talent including Sven Vath, Carl Cox, Diplo, Claud Von Stroke, Tycho, Walker & Royce, Giome, DJ Dan, Developer,  David Hohme, Soul Button, Miyagi, and many more.

Getting his name as the one of the co-founders and captains of influential Airpusher Collective, a beloved Burning Man mutant vehicle/airship/community/sound & events collective, Jay has been able to fully realize his two decades long quest of inspiring and connecting people through art, music, and dance with Airpusher. Over the past decade his parties have become known for their perfect blend of amazing music, infectious positivity, and creative flair across the spectrum from small undergrounds to big productions like the Steampunk Masquerade.

The COVID lockdown provided Jay the time and space to dive deeply into music production through modular synthesis, learning to literally create his own sound from the ground up. The results have been incredible, with his landmark first EP “Cptn Jay - Loves You (EP)” set to come out in May. Building on this new found passion for production and bringing more beautiful music into the world, 2023 is lining up to be a landmark year for the Captain as he’s also launching the independent dance music label “YES! Records”. The label’s mission is to uplift a multiracial selection of innovative artists who set the foundation for magical experiences among dance music lovers.
