About
When Jerry Jay was a teenager he listened to electronic music such as Art of noise, Afrika Bambaata and Kraftwerk. At this moment he discovered his love for electronic music.
After a trip to Miami in 1989 Jerry Jay was heavily influenced by dance music that was played on the local radio stations, and his interest for electro music started to grow.
It wasn't long after this that he visited his first house party that was organized by english students in Paramaribo where he was amazed by the music and the atmosphere. Jerry Jay visited a lot of raves and clubs where he picked up his musical idea's.
In 1994 he visited the well know Club Cartouche in Paramaribo and then he knew what he wanted: spin records and share his love for dance music with others! It gave me a complete buzz, to play records and create my own sound.
In the meantime Jerry Jay played at various clubs where he learned to play in front of a crowd. He was picked up by promoters and this resulted in a weekly residency in club Cartouche. Unfortunately the club had to close its doors in 1998. But he was already called out the best DJ in 1997 en 1998
Jerry Jay doesn't take anything for granted in terms of musical direction. ' If it rocks, it might be dropped' seems to be his current outlook on dance music. So you can expect various rhytms and styles in his sets. From dance music to classics, from house to breakbeats.
So, what does the future hold for Jerry Jay? Well says the dj: ' produce my own music and just play out my tunes and have fun with music!
