Jay Haze is the name behind a number of aliases and projects – Fuckpony, Sub Version, The Architect – these are just a few of the guises he uses when fighting his guerilla war against mediocrity on a daily basis. Born in Pennsylvania, Haze has been living in Berlin since the early 00s, in which time he has released records and remixes on some of the hottest dance music labels of the decade: Get Physical Music, BPitch Control, Cocoon, Playhouse, Soma, and numerous others.

An A&R mastermind, Jay has discovered and released names now commonplace in the dance world, such as Troy Pierce, Samim, The Vivianne Project (AKA Hearttthrob), and Matt John. As a DJ, he has established residencies at London's world-famous Fabric, Tenax in Florence, and Monza in Ibiza. His tracks (and those from others on his labels) are a constant feature in the sets of his former studio-mate, Ricardo Villalobos, as well as Ivan Smagghe, Anja Schneider, and all DJs who know, the world over. His productions have appeared on countless compilations and mixes from the likes of Richie Hawtin, M.A.N.D.Y., and Miss Kittin. Haze's fourth full-length album, Love and Beyond, was recently released on his own imprint, Tuning Spork. Don't miss out on his very first Vancouver appearance!
