Jason Jollins - Acute Recordings / Proton Radio / jasonjollins.com
Being considered among New York City's top progressive house dj's is
no easy feat, and Jason Jollins has accomplished this by
consistently delivering high quality sets with each given opportunity.
Jason Jollins started DJ'ing during the late 80's. Initially spinning
freestyle and house music, he continued to cultivate his DJ skills
through the early nineties, embracing his love and talent for the art.
He is now known for highly technical sets consisting of flawless
mixing and programming while displaying a great sound of diversity
through sub-genres of house.
Inspired by Sasha & Digweed's first set at Twilo, Jason decided to
take his passion to another level in 1997. Since then, he has had the
privilege of playing alongside world renowned DJs such as Sasha, Carl
Cox, Paul Van Dyk, Steve Lawler, Lee Burridge, Chris Fortier, Hybrid,
Juan Atkins, Armin Van Buuren, Marcus Schulz, Hernan Cattaneo, Nu Nrg,
Oscar G, Anthony Pappa, Darren Emerson, Ferry Corsten, Max Graham, and
many others.
For six months in 2004, Jason held a weekly residency for the
Godskitchen Events at Ikon (NYC) (formerly Exit). In the past, Jason
has held high profile residencies at venues such as Avalon (NYC),
Centro-Fly, Filter 14, Spirit (formerly Twilo), and the Roxy while
gracing the decks of many other top clubs in NYC. Currently he holds a
residency at Crobar (NYC) for the Hernan Cattaneo nights and has been
branching out in Central and South America with gigs in Mexico, Peru,
Argentina, Guatemala, and Columbia.
In an attempt to share his dj sets on a world-wide level, Jason is
entering his fourth year as a resident dj for one of the internets top
progressive house Radio Stations "Proton Radio". Through his show
called Momentum, Jason continually has guest spots for up and coming
artists who have inspired him. Some of these Proton Radio mixes are
offered for free download on his website along side dj mixes that have
placed him 1st place in dj competitions hosted by TranceAddict.com,
Global Underground's Message board dj competition, and a 1st place
progressive house mix for BPM Magazine. These opportunities have
considerably elevated Jason's status as a DJ and have allowed him to
form a tight bond with many of the future leaders in the underground
house scene.
