Mmmmmmm

Making your debut on a label as revered as Theo Parrish's Sound Signature tends to ensure people sit up and take notice. It happened with Marcellus Pittman back in 1999, it happened with Andrew Ashong last year, and it's most certainly happened with Jay Daniel. Released back in September, the Scorpio Rising EP presented Daniel as a producer whose style was wedged somewhere between the scuffed, rawness of Kyle Hall and the underlying warmth of an Omar S track. This auspicious debut hints that Daniel has plenty more to offer and complements his growing reputation among the new generation of Detroit talents as a highly skilled DJ.

A debut set at last year’s Movement festival led the Boiler Room crew to christen Daniel "one of the most exciting new discoveries we made in Detroit," while he also presides over the Fundamentals night with Wild Oats boss Kyle Hall. This was reason enough to extend an invitation to Jay to become the first Detroit resident to contribute a Juno Plus mix this year, and we were pleasantly surprised with the results. As happy as we are when an invited producer or DJ drops a chunk of unreleased material from their contemporaries, it's also nice to see someone elect for a different approach as Daniel has done, sifting through his collection for a wonderfully blended 59 minutes of soul, jazz and hip hop.

We took the opportunity to quiz Daniel over email on his introduction to DJing, how he came to release on Sound Signature, what he has planned for the future, and the best place to go digging for records in Detroit. You can read that here: http://t.co/XyscFhl41O

Specter (Sound Signature/Tetrode) banging the loosey goosey vibe ... This mix got taken down due to shitty copyright algorithm or cosmic squirrel conspiracies... who knows ... anyway, back up now (we hope) .... enjoy!

**Please Note** There's roughly a 20-30 second silence at the start ... the only way we could get round the mix being blocked ... sorry!

Ok so I did a lil cover of the great Ty Dolla $ign's tune Straight Up (from the album Free TC) & sung it over a Charge It to Da Game from a DJ Screw mixtape I found in the dirty yet silky alleyways of the internet. I do hope the legends approve. 

Truth shall prevail! Peace!
