| Profile: | Jernej Graj, born in Slovenia in 1979, shoved his predisposition for music even when he was a child. By the time he was seven, he was playing guitar and drums while attending Music School. Finally, he discovered electronic music, which remains one of the greatest passions in his life. His first DJing experience in 1999 opened a whole new world to him and eventually led him to become a professional DJ persona. While performing all over Slovenia he developed a distinctive style and unique personal techniques, which in 2002 provided a ticket to first international performances. So far he performed in Macedonia and Belgium, but this list will get longer in the near future...
Being more than just a "spinner", Gray quickly recognized his love for music production. He soon succeeded in getting his work published for the first time by Finnish label Fak Records on a Various Artist EP, soon to be followed by his first single EP, released by the highly respected label, the one and only, Force Inc. Music Works from Germany in 2002. These achievements are but a proof of genuine enthusiasm for music production and his hard work. It became his growing desire to introduce techno sound with something new and completely different resulting in a cover of a traditional Serbian / Macedonian folksong "Ajde Jano", where lyrics were interpreted by Celtic singer Talitha MacKenzie (USA/Scotland). The song was released by Invasion Records from Belgium, an excellent brand owned and run by the legendary DJ & producer Zzino. "Ajde Jano" also lived to be remixed by several younger producers, such as Adam Jay, Flash Golden and Bjorn Bommersheim.
As his music evolved above techno and his electronic sound skills matured, he started to incorporate electro sound into his work and his latest productions with funky & disco house sounds. The first electro EP called "Eletronuet" was released in early 2005, published by the promising XL Recordings sub label Platinum Projects (UK) under his real name Jernej Graj. Simultaneously, his professional success continues with more releases, like "Remember" EP released by Highland Beats label from Holland, "Awakening" on Yin Yang Records (UK); and various releases by his own Audionautica and Audionautica House Recordings.
