Born in Quito, Ecuador, 25 year old J BOLIVAR cut his teeth as a producer and DJ in Philadelphia before heading to Denver. J Bolivar amalgamates different club sounds, creating sets that ebb and flow through various genres and BPMs. J BOLIVAR spins and produces high energy hybrids of Latin Bass, Breaks, Percussive Techno, Electro, and Minimal Techno/House — all with heartfelt melodic elements.

In the past year, J BOLIVAR has played at Spot Lite Detroit, the Underground Music Festival, Intimät Basement, the Quite Right Records Warehouse, Subcentral Boston, Larimer Lounge, 1010 Workshop, Beacon/Mockingbird, Milk Bar + many more. He has produced/spun with the likes of Sinistarr, Entrañas, Surusinghe, Coffintexts, Baalti, Cruzloma (Zunfo, Ene Ese), Shai FM, Billy Bevevino + many more. 

 J BOLIVAR is the Creative Director of Hoppers Music - a nationwide party series which hosted the Save The Aztlan Festival, and whose recent collaborative show with Sojourn Boston featuring Walrus (Basic Moves) received RA pick.

J BOLIVAR is also one half of DOSIS, a collaborative project with MIRLO that brings together an eclectic fusion of club genres — combining Breaks, Latin Bass, and Speed Garage with the emotional depth of traditional Ecuadorian “corta venas” songs. Together, they create a high-energy experience that bridges cultures, blurs boundaries, and keeps the dance floor alive. The duo delivers a dynamic live performance for stages — featuring a hardware performance from J BOLIVAR and vocals from MIRLO — as well as DJ sets built for underground club nights. Their first single, “Heavyweight” released this fall under Sinistarr & Shoebox’ record label PLUSH Recordings (Doctor Jeep, Tim Reaper, Samurai Breaks), accompanied by a premiere on Data Transmission Radio and an upcoming remix by Philadelphia’s Shai FM. Their second release “Clout Chaser” —  a collaboration with Entrañas — released in November under Berlin’s RUTA record label.
