I wrote this IDM fusion groove in a couple of hours as a doodle.. Drummer friend Olaf Fase posted some kind of inverted groove and the notes thereof acouple of hours ago. (Check it out the original drumgroove on his FB wall...) I sampled it, got carried away and visited my fusion roots...hope you enjoy it.

Another fusionroots revisit, in honor of Chick Corea. I moved to Rotterdam South midwinter end 2010. When spring arrived, I wrote this 'Sun over South' with new inspiration and friends in Rotterdam  in mind.

Sun over South

I wrote this when I tried to find middle ground between jazzrock and dance music. Unfortunately my jazz friends were like "eeeiijw that sound like house man!" and my house friend were like "That's way too complex for me man!" This was way before Soundcloud and FB existed. So here's another try, hope you like it

Transition State - Guitar,Rhodes Jazz Dance

I did this song around 2000 when I was experimenting with some backsampling techniques that worked out pretty well..

Whales and Hats

This is a clubhouse track I produced around 1998. Back then, no social media, so now sharing this 16 years after te fact. Drop me a note if you like it!  The vocal sample was taken from a vhs recording of the documentary movie "Woodstock".

Feelings Getting Stronger

Jay is a musician with a broad and technical background. Not only does he sing and play keys and piano, he also composes and produces his owns songs. This shines through in his music. The cohesive and well thought out songs all have that characteristic Jay sound; electronic pop music with a modern synthesizer sound and a compelling present bassline.
The synthesizer sound makes sure there is a nice melodic flow to the songs, while the groovy distorted bassline and tight beat make for highly danceable music. And it is not just the music that keeps you hooked. Narrative lyrics and some witty plays on words, keep you closely listening. Everything together makes for highly engaging music.
It really shows on stage. Jay wants to do more than just play pre-recorded music. As a true front man he sings and plays keytar, bringing the heart of the songs to his audience. And whether Jay is playing solo or with a band, you always have to move to the tight rhythm of the music.
Excited? Listen to Jay his songs onlineon www.jayvanbruggen.nl or check for concert dates
