“Do what you love and the rest will fall into place” is a way of thinking that DJ Big Jacks has built his career and life on. In his case the labour of love has always been music. His passion for it, fueled by the inspiration of his father and family upbringing helped elevate Big Jacks’ interest in the arts from a hobby he loved to his livelihood.

Before even touching the turntables young Jacks spent time going to record stores with his dad to pick up the latest calypso releases. Now in a digital age where most people don’t look passed their favourite mp3 website for music you’ll still find Big Jacks going that extra mile to uncover the latest tune or forgotten gem in your local record store, thrift shop, or even a dusty warehouse basement all over the world. To Big Jacks there are no boundaries when it comes to finding and exposing new music to share.

It’s the mentality to dig deeper than just what the surface offers that Big Jacks carries with him as an outlook on life. While his humble beginnings were as a hip hop DJ using his lunch money to buy the newest albums, today no genre is overlooked when he creates his musical landscape. Every day brings a new opportunity to learn and expand on his craft. It’s because of this that he has been able to rise and become one a premier DJ locally and abroad, able to create that perfect vibe whatever the occasion. Whether it is getting the dance floor going or simply providing an atmospheric backdrop and soundtrack, he is able to tailor the sound to compliment any mood.

Big Jacks has made quite the name for himself in recent years as the official DJ for the popular women’s clothing store Aritzia. Currently, he works with the company to create a culture and an identity with its target audience. He curates and programs playlists for all their North American store locations, and his mixes and music have surpassed the million plays mark on Soundcloud alone. Big Jacks has found an effective and refreshing way to connect and influence their massive international customer base every day. His work has also been played heavily in other notable stores around the world like H&M, Forever 21, Top Shop, and many other cool boutiques and restaurants. All of which has led to him playing all over North America for those who love the work he creates.

He's made multiple appearances where he has played and been interviewed on one of the biggest radio shows in the world, Sway In The Morning, on XM Radio’s Shade 45 channel. How Sway? Because working smart pays off. The highly regarded program is one of the most popular outlets for the world’s top musicians, actors, athletes, etc to be spotlighted as it broadcasts globally to millions of listeners worldwide each day.

Most recently, Big Jacks has forged a new lane for himself as the co-founder  and operator of GGBR Records & Tapes along with his partner Bozack. The record label is a platform for them to release not only their own music in a tangible form (with a focus on vinyl and cassette tapes), but projects from other artists they truly believe in and stand behind, with a number of their releases already sold out to customers from North America, Europe and Asia.

Everything Big Jacks achieves and every hurdle that he overcomes is because he has stuck by doing what he loves to do while working smart and hard. He consistently demonstrates finely tuned technical skills in his work, with an attention to detail, but it’s his passion for music and life that shines through to connect him to his audience and create a fan base that truly trusts, respects and supports what he does.

Hailing from provincial Italy, world class DJ & producer Benny Benassi is a name needing little introduction but always deserving of wide admiration and acclaim.  Indulging in a career spanning fifteen plus years, Benassi is renown as a humble, authentic and charming character who has grown from club DJ to festival king to multi-million selling record producer taking success in his stride. Trademarking his unique infusion of house and electro with his global smash “Satisfaction” Benny has continued to create music which is a clear evolution of this signature sound but never deviating too far. 

There is no better place to start delving into the rich history of the Benassi career than with his international blockbuster, “Satisfaction” and its game-changing music video became his launch pad into stardom. Created with his cousin and producer, Alle Benassi, and inspired by the car horns outside an open street facing window, this single catapulted into the charts with a #1 in France, #2 in the UK and Germany. Followed by his debut album Hypnotica, which reached top 20 across nearly all parts of Europe within the first month of release. 

The next few years for Benny were a culmination of successes, whether it be the major festivals he went on the play (Coachella, EDC, Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland to name a few) or his next artist album, Rock N Rave in 2008. The same year he won a Grammy Award for his ground breaking remix of Public Enemy “Bring The Noise” further catapulting the Benassi name into stardom. 

In 2011, Benny teamed up with a star-studded album cast for his album Electroman which featured T-Pain, Kelis, Jean-Baptsiste and Apl.de.ap amongst others and most famously Gary Go with his chart-topping single “Cinema”.  The Skrillex remix of “Cinema” not only went Gold in the US and platinum in Australia and Canada but won the Benassi’s another Grammy whilst holding firm in the iTunes top 10 dance chart for over 6 months. 

Still on this exceptional career high, Benny Benassi combined talents with Chris Brown to create one of the biggest cross-over dance records of its time with “Beautiful People”. The following years have been a measure of incredible world tours and releases, most notably his record “Dance The Pain Away” with John Legend, which premiered live on stage at Coachella with John himself. 

2016 saw Benny released his first album in five years Danceaholic, an unexpected, stunning cocktail of already released tracks, two unreleased reworks of older singles and brand new songs, led by the hit summer anthem “Paradise”, once again with Chris Brown. “Paradise” stayed in the Top 50 UK charts for 10 weeks and boasts more than 65 million video views and close to 47 million Spotify streams. 

In recent years, Benny's main releases include “Everybody Needs A Kiss” featured US duo Sofi Tukker racking up over 10 millions streams online and was featured as the sound of gay pride for Musica.ly, "Lonely Nights" featuring Lil Yachty, interspersed with two great house-oriented tracks, "Inside" with Chris Nasty, performing well in clubs and on streaming platforms and "Everybody Hates Monday Mornings" with his own production outfit, BB Team, and featuring the eccentric and charismatic YouTuber, Canguro English.

Beyond his own productions he brought his sound to a wider musical audience with a flurry of high-profile remixes with the likes of Bob Marley & The Wailers, Giorgio Moroder, Madonna, Sean Paul and the Rolling Stones, to name but a few; whilst maintaining a weekly radio show on the US heavy-weight iHeart Radio broadcasting to a staggering quarter of a billion listeners monthly.

International DJ + Producer

Dancehall and Reggae music producer Notnice - With a signature style that infuses sharp-edged Hip Hop drum kicks with soulful piano rifts and Dancehall bravado, Ainsley Morris has carved a unique niche for himself among Jamaica's young Dancehall producers.
Starting out as a high school student with no musical training, the self-taught rhythm creator is a Billboard producer who was the backbone of one of Dancehall's most powerful forces.
Between 2009 and 2011, he became a household name as an integral part of Dancehall star Vybz Kartel's Portmore Empire, scoring a string of #1 singles for Kartel, including "Last Man Standing," "Cake Soap," "Mama," "Get Wild," and "Benz Punany." In addition, he produced break out hits for the Empire's then up and coming pool of deejays including Jah Vinci's " Watch Yuh Friends," Popcaan's "Gangster City," and "Dream," Shawn Storm's "My Life" which also hit #1 on the local charts, as well as Gaza Slim's "One Man." Joining forces with Corey Todd Records in 2011, he landed another local #1 single with Jah Vinci's "In My Life.
He won international acclaim with "Ramping Shop" a racy and wildly popular duet from Kartel and female Dancehall deejay Spice that became a staple on urban radio in Nort h America. In 2009, "Ramping Shop" peaked at #76 on t he Billboard Top 100. In 2011, Notnice was named 'Producer of the Year' by the Excellence in Music and Entertainment Awards.
Ainsley Morris was raised in the Waterford section of Portmore, in St. Catherine. After convincing his mother to buy him a computer in hig h school, he began to experiment with music, eventually teaching himself to create rhythms. He began his professional career at Rokus Records, establishing Notnice Records after branching out on his own in the mid 2000s.

His solo path proved just as successful, having the emerging talents of Dancehall Artiste Alkaline under his tutelage. Together, majority of the Artiste’s early success was at the hand of the prolific producer with songs like “Things mi love in 2013 and Move Mountains in 2014.
