"A full pelt wavering between tribal moments,& more modest slabs of Detroit-inspired soul.
The crowd respond at every turn." - Steve McLay, DJ MAG
Always sitting slightly off-centre, Jay Tripwire is an artist that walks the line as industry staple and ever changing innovator,
releasing one standout release after another.
His signature fusion of deep Detroit textures and intricate rhythms has led a career spanning two decades,
with over 200 vinyl releases, 2 commercial mixed cd compilations, and four full length albums.
He remains one of the most prolific artists around, with an average of 15 releases per year.
He is an always an in demand remixer he averages 10-15 remixes per year.
In 2010 Jay Was honoured by being named by Future Music alongside Frankie Knuckles, Larry Heard, Charles Webster,
Atjazz, and Tom Middleton as being one of the most influentual Innovators in house music for “The thoughtful minimal stylings of Jay Tripwire.”
Most recently he’s completed a compilation mix for Steve Bug’s respected label Pokerflat –
‘Shaping Elements Vol.8’ which features a blend of deep house ranging from
Detroit inspired textures to modern European house and tech house fusions,
blurring genrefication. This follows releases on the label under his 8Channels name - a project that melds basic channel,
cosmic soul and dub into a new hybrid soundscape of techno, deep house and dub.
The moniker also appears on other highly regarded labels such as Ransom Note, Conya, NRK, Cinematic and Hallucination.
Whilst the term ‘legendary’ is often bandied about with little thought,
in Jay’s case we could say just that - his personal arsenal of re-edits and comfort in arranging extended DJ sets lasting eight hours or
more certainly demonstrates a talent that deviates from standard fare.
Jay also still supports,buys and plays vinyl, and actively seeks out records to play at gigs, when Tripwire is on the decks he plays a vinyl
and CD set.
Jay has made appearances in over 200 cities worldwide, and some of his most memorable gigs have been a decade of bookings at
Fabric London- a venue that has changed his approach to Djing, and production sound.
Jay’s work has been featured on numerous compilations, notably from Cocoon, Fabric, Renaissance, Journeys by DJ, Ultra & Bedrock,
and is supported by a diverse spectrum of dance culture from house luminaries
such as, Doc Martin and Kerri Chandler to techno legends Steve Bug and Laurent Garnier and John Digweed
With anticipated releases and remixes imminent, the Tripwire production wheel is still very much in motion,
and on its way to a turntable near you.

The OFFICIAL home of NYC's SOUP Crew!
Demos:  soupdemos@gmail.com

Resident DJs: Love & Logic (Chris Love & AB Logic), Chris Patrick, Zenbi,  Lady Cherelle, Joe Pompeo
 

NYC’s famed SOUP (Support Our Underground Properly) parties were founded by nightlife pro Chris Love (SOUP, Stuck On Earth) in the mid-90’s, and were designed to bring together dancers who wanted to hear the best in underground house and techno music. Legendary DJs Andy Smith (of Portishead fame), Detroit techno hero Juan Atkins, and NYC house pioneer Baby Hector Romero were some of the first to grace the decks in SOUP's early days, leading into a decade of top-quality House and Techno events . After a short hiatus from 2006-2009, Chris Love restarted the SOUP brand, ultimately teaming up with veteran DJ AB Logic (of the Hoodfellas production duo, and the Smoke City Music label) and forming their Love & Logic DJ/Production project. Known for thick vibes, wild dance floors, and world class DJs, SOUP quickly gained popularity in NYC among people seeking the best in underground music. In addition to playing host to top flight monthly guests like Derrick Carter, Doc Martin, The Dirtybird Crew, and more, SOUP has some of the most talented resident's the USA has to offer in Chris Love & AB Logic ( Love & Logic), Joe Pompeo, Chris Patrick, Jenia Le, and in vocalist Born I Music. After years of dance-floor destruction at various NYC venues, the SOUP crew took a regular residency at the infamous Cielo nightclub where they grace the decks monthly alongside an illustrious list of guest DJ’s. SOUP’s amazing music and crowd, combined with Cielo’s perfect dance music atmosphere and incredible Funktion One sound system, have created what’s with out a doubt one of NYC’s finest House+Techno nights. SOUP also does occasional parties at the world class Output venue and in Miami at MMW each year. See you on the dance floor!!!
