The largest indie label in Canada, bringing you the best Funk, Soul, Disco & R&B since '77.

Jay Valdez better known as DJ Akshen has over two decades of DJ experience. He started out by DJing his older brothers High School Dances when he was in the 7th grade and did his first club gig before he was of legal age! He has been blending multiple genres of music in his sets before the term mash-up even existed. This has proven to be the key ingredient to his unique signature and to attracting bigger, more diverse crowds. 

He continues to perform at some of the hottest nightspots across the country, overseas, and on the seas. He is a special guest DJ for Disney Cruise Lines and has played in several countries from London to the Bahamas. Through seamless mixes and an amazing sense of selection, he can transform any venue whether a club, live stage, bar, or even the deck of a cruise ship, into an all-night party!

So, if you want the complete package just ask for, lights, camera...
