Bio:

In less than year of deciding to go the production route, Jason picked up steam releasing his first tracks simultaneously on French label, 'Telegraph' and the highly touted German label 'Platzhirsch'...followed by remixes for German 'Nummer' and England's 'Clever Music' as well as on LA's label 'Droid Recordings'. Jason's 2nd solo EP on Platzhirsch (released in October) has received amazingly complimentary reviews and is being played by many of the heavy hitters.

2007 has already with a 3rd solo ep completed and forthcoming on Platzhirsch this Spring, following a month's mini-tour in Europe.

Additionally, expect to see Jason releasing his first full length artist album on the same label later in the year. Others to look out for in the first quarter are a solo ep on 'Clever Music' and remixes for Chicago's 'Siteholder'...

Finally, the end of 2007 will see the launch of Jason's own label project 'Align-Audio' featuring another side of his development as an electronic artist.
