Jay Walker

Real Name:
John Stembridge
Profile:
John began his musical interests at the age 11 after hearing the song "Unfinished Sympathy" by Massive Attack, also around the same time as the KLF. At the age of thirteen he began creating music with an old amiga 500 using a crude tracker program.

Eventually he and studio partner Mark "Marcos" Dearden began accumulating hardware and a friend (Steve Knight) was so impressed that he passed the tracks onto his record company (Alpha Magic) who then proceeded to enlist John and Mark onto their Artist rosta. Over the next three years they built up a large collection of remix and original productions and with them a solid fan base. As time passed John has been asked to play all over the UK and abroad including recently a successful tour of Australia.

JK Walker has often been described as "The UK's answer to the might Scot Project" and has received accolade from the scene's leading artists and producers.

Formerly known as Jay Walker. He apparently changed his artist name at the end of 2003.

Reviews & Discussion

Review by chinomoreno Feb 28, 2009
Whatever name you have this guy under, or know him as, he has definitely left his mark on the hard trance genre forever. This guy has stamped his own sound all over the place the past 8-9 years. People may compare him to the likes of the godfather of hard trance, Scot Project, but, I see it differently. This guy has put forth some insane originals, and some even crazier remixes. Due to my own self ignorance, I just discovered these gems within the past 2-3 years, but, timeless classics for sure. If you like hard trance, you need to listen to this guy's releases. Hair raising, chills down your neck, and smiles for miles. Epic breakdowns, buildups, bass lines, and an unforgetable impression left on you by this genius. If you're lucky, you might be able to still find some of his releases for sale on vinyl. A+
