Jaytech

Prior to the release of debut album 'Everything Is OK', James Cayzer (aka Jaytech) had been rapidly assembling a formidable discography of groove-driven progressive house, effortlessly synthesising elements of funk, electro and conventional house on top of some muscular and exhilaratingly powerful bottom ends.

Indeed, since his 'Touch Your DJ' reinterpretation of his own 'Starbright', which pricked the ears of Above & Beyond and prompted them to sign him to their more outward-looking sub-label Anjunadeep, Cayzer has raised the bar with some high-class productions, culminating in the recent release of said critically-acclaimed debut album. In light of this, it is particularly difficult to isolate one standout production; if you have a preference for electro-dominated atmospheres, head straight for the likes of 'Spacelift' or its more robust cousin 'Vela'. If laid back, sun-drenched vibes are more your thing, then look no further than the sublime 'Essence'. And finally, if it's full-on, abrasive grooves you're looking for check out the likes of 'Pepe's Garden' or Oliver Smith's Tech Remix of 'Groove Nova'.

The release of 'Everything Is OK' gave Cayzer a licence to explore the use of disparate influences and the opportunity to integrate them into the trademark Jaytech sound. Now sit back and listen to that sound evolve into something special.
