Defected Classics  - Louie Vega, Tensnake, Sandy Rivera, Sam Divine, Dennis Ferrer, KiNK. WIL142

Jason Stevens a Miami based Promoter/Dj/Producer from Boston with a 30+ year journey through the House & Hip Hop Cultures.  One part of the trio On & On (Dj Vito Ferrara & Vin Spinelli), Jason has made it a point to keep finding new ways to reinvent himself and stay relevant in todays high demand world of music.  


Born in Lowell Massachusetts, he was raised in foster care and dealt with significant losses in his life but always had music to turn too.  Spinning records at the age of 8, listening to classic rock, disco, Hip Hop, Pop, Rock, Grunge, Country and of course, House Music - he was hooked.  

Growing up with a heavy dose of Bam Bam, Frankie Knuckles, Kevin Sanderson, Nicky Siano, Dj Irene, DJ Rap, Tiesto, Dj Serg @ Bananas Record Shop are the DJ’s that help spark his passion for House Music. He also has a great deal of love for Hip Hop growing up in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s, it was the perfect storm of musical talent and will forever be marked as some of the most important and iconic eras in music.  

Influenced by artists like The Doors, Depeche Mode, U2, Marky Mark, Big L, Nas, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, KRS One, Lady of Rage, Yo Yo, Ice Cube, A Tribe Called Quest, Bustah Rhymes, Louie Vega, Madonna, George Michael, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Idol, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, The Temptations, Motown as a whole, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, EPMD, Run DMC, Fat Boys, Redman, Tiesto, Tall Paul, Danny Tenaglia, Louie Vega, Victor Calderone, New Edition, New Kids on the Block, Joey Crack, Illegal, 2Pac, Heavy D, Queen Latifah, Souls of Mischief, Moby, Bad Boy Bill, DJ Rap, NWA, Ice T, Kid Frost, Das EFX, Big Daddy Kane, Nicole Moudober, Essel, Mark Knight, Oscar G, Camelphat, Sam Devine, Deep Dish, Nervous Records, Toolroom, Defected, Strictly Rhythm, Solomon, Roger Sanchez , Armand Van Helden ….the list goes On & On :). Infinite! 

Around the age of 18, Jason’s very first after hours nightclub experience was seeing his favorite and Boston local DJ Armand Van Helden at the Loft in Bostons early House Scene. It was easy to see why his passion for the music was so strong and powerful. Bostons club scene was engulfed with an important history of House Music with clubs like Avalon, Roxy, Rise, Axis, Pulse (RI), Venu, Tilt, Bahama Beach Club, Industry (Manchester NH), Underbar, Royale, Therapy and many others.  

Jason established himself as a prominent Promoter in Boston establishing 2 of the longest running House Nights in Boston at Underbar & Bijou bringing to Boston some of the biggest names in the industry. 

During the COVID lockdowns, Jason started his transition to producing and DJing as a natural evolution to his own personal goals. Although he loves being a Promoter, it was time to start working towards his own personal ambitions rather than focusing on other artists (but always supporting).

Jason could not have done any of this without having amazing friends and having artists & DJ’s that inspired him throughout his life.  

A special thanks goes out to my friends Ace, Frankie & Sal (6one7 Productions), Dj Nailz, Manolo, Chris Angel, Rick Naples, MacGuyver, Dj Bruno, Mike Whalen, Tasty, Tallis Stormz, Tom Mello, Dana Blue Eyes, DJ Deka, Mike Ivy, Kirill V, Tyberge, Chris, Jayson, Melissa, Lynell, Veronica S, Michelle Paradise, Rich Alden, Teale, Brianna, Brienne, Alex, Jose & Junia, Manos, Christophe, Mike & Linsey, Pete, Frankie Z, Mikey G, Robbie & Kelly, Brunno Santos, Lonnie Santos, Derek the Prince, Sketch One, Jeff Leclair, Will Monotone, Richie Santana, Boris, Rob Mirage, Miss Jennifer, John Fortini, Travis, Giancarlo C, Jonpaul S, Vito, Vinny, Chris P, George Acosta, Oscar G, Donnie Lowe and many many others!  Thank you for inspiring me and letting me be a part of your journey (no matter how big or small) THANK YOU!
