This vinyl enthusiast discloses his « Universal Mix » in Europe and those who met him still remember him.
More than a simple DJ, Freddy Jay is a jack of all trades.
Author, composer and sometimes singer, he above all became famous to the audience behind his turntables. A micro always easy to reach, full of energy he scratches his electro black LP to brilliantly marry them to funk and disco. He remixes under our stunned eyes soul standards into house music, hip hop or broken beat with an unashamed flowing style. 
His perfect technique, his charisma and naturally his musical selection allowed him to perform beside the biggest: Eric Morillo, Bob Sinclar, Laurent Wolf or Kenny Dope Gonzales and in prestigious French venues such as the Queen, the Élysée Montmartre, the Étoile, Bercy etc…
Freddy Jay released his 1st solo album in 2003 and the famous RADIO NOVA made an underground hit of, “I wanna dance”, giving to the only song he’s singing a special rank in its playlist.
Prestigious brands requested him as much for his DJ talents as for his composer abilities…
DOCKERS or REEF clothing brands, cable CUISINE TV (Cooking TV), or DESPERADOS beer brand will also need his composer talents. He created as well the advertising soundtrack of “La Carte illimitée” (unlimited mobile card) heard before the film in all UGC cinemas…
His collaboration with DESPERADOS together with his friends from the artists’ collective “9ème concept” continues since 10 years now.
The SOLIDAYS Festival, the F.I.S.E., the MIX’N FLY, the FABULOUS TOURNAMENT, the O’NEIL SURF CONTEST of Anglet or the SFR TOUR are such events linked to sliding sports or to music that trusted him.
He was the one who opens for the soul-jazz diva Marlena Shaw at the Paris New Morning and was chosen to delight the ears of the legendary Stevie Wonder during his after show at the Paris Comedy Club.
He remains since five year resident of the leading Parisian parties “CAR WASH” and “IN FUNK WE TRUST” and organizes since a little time his own parties at the Jamel Debbouze Comedy Club he’s also resident of.
The word of mouth and internet videos allows him to be known by foreign organizers. He was then invited to perform in Iceland, Guyana, Austria, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Portugal, etc…
With a wealth of these stage experiences, Freddy Jay is undeniably more than a simple DJ.
He’s first and foremost a charismatic man with rich and eclectic musical culture, a musical gold-digger of any kind, a turntable virtuoso and above all a formidable showman.
But above all these talents, it’s definitively his love for the audience and the stage that indisputably made out of him one of the best of France.

Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Vic rose to public awareness as a member of the eclectic hip-hop band Kids These Days and founder of the Chicago collective SAVEMONEY alongside Chance The Rapper and other local upstarts Joey Purp and Peter CottonTale. His solo debut mixtape INNANETAPE dropped in 2013, igniting immediate accolades (including a spot on the XXL Freshman cover in 2014), and a fortuitous introduction to Jay Z that led to a record deal with Roc Nation. Mensa went on to help Kanye West pen his esoteric song “Wolves” from The Life of Pablo, drop three critically acclaimed EPs (2016’s There’s A Lot Going On, 2018’s Hooligans, and 2020’s V TAPE) and his debut full length The Autobiography (2017), as well as furthering social causes in his hometown through his nonprofit SAVEMONEYSAVELIFE. In both music and his social activism, Vic challenges the American system responsible for a history of overcriminalization, racial injustice, and issues that affect the lives of people in underserved communities, while showcasing profound levels of consciousness and self-reflection.

De La Soul is back—but did they ever really leave? After delivering their seminal debut 3 Feet High and Rising in 1989 with the production genius of Prince Paul, the New York City-bred trio of Posdnuos (Pos), Dave and Maseo went on to further impact Hip Hop culture with five more groundbreaking albums: De La Soul Is Dead (1991), Buhloone Mindstate (1993), Stakes Is High (1996), Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump (2000) and AOI: Bionix (2001). But once the digital age exploded in the late ‘90s, De La Soul’s celebrated catalog was unavailable to stream. As the decades passed, the tight-knit group forged ahead anyway—touring the world, connecting with their adoring fanbase and making music on their own terms. Following 2004’s The Grind Date, De La Soul took a hiatus from making albums, but joined The Gorillaz on the track “Feel Good Inc” which won them a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Collaboration.  In 2015, the group raised over $600,000 on Kickstarter from fans to independently release their album and the Anonymous Nobody, which was their first #1 on the Rap Albums chart, and was also nominated for a Best Rap Album Grammy.   

However, the demand for unreleased De La Soul music was palpable and the cry for access to the first six albums grew louder. Unfortunately, De La Soul was stuck riding a roller coaster of stalled negotiations, dashed hopes and dead-end conversations with their old label, and the group nearly gave up. 

"We have lived without the music up for long, these six albums haven’t been up—ever,” Pos says. “We got used to knowing they weren’t up.” In June of 2021, Tommy Boy Music was acquired by Reservoir, giving De La Soul’s catalog a new home.  In March of 2023, the six missing albums were finally available to stream.  But sadly, right before the catalog release, Dave, the beloved member of De La Soul, passed away. Though bittersweet, De La Soul preserves his legacy and the ongoing impact of their music. 

As iconic songs such as “The Magic Number”, found new life in the film Spiderman: No Way Home in 2021, De La Soul continues to resonate with a diverse population of people. 

As Pos notes, “We’ve noticed over the past several years of tour like, ‘Wow, there’s a father here with his child who also is here with their child. ‘We’re generational. To me, there’s nothing more gratifying than that. That means something. That’s telling about a group. What we were doing wasn’t just stuck to that time.”

“We really naturally been that group for everyone,” Pos says. “It was never about we’re just here for this community, that community, this set of people or these certain fans of Hip Hop culture. We see music as music. We’ve been very resilient, even being a group that didn’t have our music up [on streaming platforms]. We still had these beautiful opportunities through young people finding out about us through a commercial or Spider-Man. Now that it can all be there for people to gravitate to, I’m really happy about that.” 

De La Soul's impact on the musical landscape is immeasurable, with 3 Feet High and Rising widely regarded as one of the most influential albums of its era. Pioneering inventive sampling, playful lyrics, and eclectic beats, the album broke new ground and set a standard for creativity in the genre. Recognizing its cultural significance, the album was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress.
