NIGHTWALKERS (10.04.25)

Jay Function weaves sound into space, crafting unique sets and productions that challenge convention and explore rhythm, energy, and emotion. His work, shaped by a dynamic mix of influences and interactions with people and places, bridges the pulse of dance culture with a forward-thinking approach that pushes boundaries and discovers new textures.

Having honed his craft in DIY venues, as a resident in club spaces, festivals, and community radio, Jay brings a depth of understanding to every performance. Inspired by pioneers like David Mancuso and Larry Levan, he sees music as more than just sound—it's an experience, a connection, and a powerful force that transcends the moment.

As he shifts focus toward releasing bold and original work, his journey remains unpredictable, shaped by instinct rather than expectation. The destination? Only time will tell.

Alex Jimenez’s journey into DJing began at 17, when he was snuck into a Deep Therapy event—a night that left a lasting impression. More than just a party, Deep Therapy was one of Ottawa’s most respected underground gatherings: the kind of experience where music, production, and atmosphere all align. That night opened his ears to the deeper, groovier, and more soulful side of electronic music—and quietly sparked an obsession to understand it, then share it.

After years of digging and refining his ear, he stepped into the booth at 22 during Beyond City Beats, the open decks and networking night at City At Night. It was there that he found community, built confidence on pro gear, and began shaping his voice as a DJ.

His first real break came not at home, but abroad—landing a month-long residency at Raindance, a party hostel on Ometepe Island, Nicaragua. Playing Wet Wednesdays and most nights of the week, he learned to read a room, adapt, and build energy from scratch. That experience shaped the way he approaches every set: with patience, intention, and a desire to connect.

Since returning to Ottawa, Alex has played steadily across the city, including a standout opening set for Mustafa Ismaeel at Undercurrent, and slots alongside Mitch Oliver and Tyler Mesa—key voices in Canada’s underground scene.

His sets reflect that same honesty. Deeply tuned into the ever-evolving sounds of the underground, He-Menace blends raw, soulful, genre-blurring selections—always searching for the records you didn’t know you needed to hear. For him, DJing is about curation, storytelling, and staying connected to the pulse of the culture.

A seasoned selector in Ottawa’s underground dance music scene, with close to 15 years of experience rocking dance floors and curating unforgettable nights.

He’s held respected residencies at venues like Sotto, BPM After Hours, Waverly, Buddha Bar (Thursdays), the Floorplay Group, and currently holds down Saturday nights at City at Night, one of Ottawa’s premier clubs. His presence has also been felt at major events and venues including Escapade, Circus Afterhours, Newspeak, Wiggle Room, DNA, FMG, and Mercury Lounge, solidifying his rep as a trusted selector and dedicated promoter.

With a deep musical background and an instinct for reading rooms, Tone A’s sets are known to shake foundations and elevate crowds. He’s shared the stage with international heavyweights like Claptone, Roger Sanchez, Victor Calderone, Matador, Carlo Lio, Mark Knight, Weiss, Eli & Fur, Max Chapman, Harvey McKay, Walker & Royce, Miss Melera, The Cube Guys, Nathan Barato, John Acquaviva, and more.
