Pennsylvania, United States (1999 – present)
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.
But of course Haze is also responsible for running several labels himself – TuningSpork, Futuredub, Contexterrior, Junion – sometimes with an iron fist, other times with a white diamond-studded glove and a cane. But in either instance Haze is accustomed to finding dance jams that stretch the genre beyond the limits of the beat and into the territory of lurid nightclub art. 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.
Haze’s production career began in 1999 on the house-oriented TuningSpork. In the following year he launched Futuredub as a home for downtempo electronic dub, and in 2002 he started the techno-oriented Contexterrior. In 2003, Haze had the novel idea of founding textone.org, an online electronic music magazine and internet label project. This enterprise yielded millions of downloads, long before any other labels considered giving away music for free, and before digital distribution was commonplace in the DJ community.
