Jay Tripwire

“I am a DJ first and foremost”.  Jay Tripwire has proven this to the world time and time again and having played the finest clubs in some of the most exotic locations on the planet. His roots began in Vancouvers Underground party scene, where Jay played regularly at clubs and parties. Little did he know that he would be playing regularly at clubs such as Fabric London, in places like Turkey, Spain, Russia, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, so on and so forth and racking up the kind of airmiles only elite businessmen do. But Jay Tripwire is not just a DJ, today he is also a well established name as one of house music's most prolific producers.

Jay now has over 100 releases to his credit with over 100,000 records sold on some of the finest labels underground house music has to offer. His music has featured on numerous commercially-released mix CD's by many major artists and has been charted by everyone from John Digweed to Terry Francis to Fred Everything, illustrating the fact that his music has a vast range of appeal: crossing the many boundaries within underground house and even managing to pull progressive DJ's back into it. Jay's most recent achievement was the custom made track “Room 2” for Sony's Wipeout Pure for the Sony PSP handheld.

Jay's most recent project started out as a secret but word soon spread about the real identity of his mysterious alter ego, Mr. Barcode. Under that alias, Jay has explored a sound that is all things robotic - yet his unique production ability turns even the nastiest 303 into pure dancefloor funk. The Barcode sound has been gaining popularity through singles and a slew of remixes, and has appeared even on Music For Freaks for their BAD ACID compilation mixed by Chris Duckenfield of Swag.

We know there are plenty of choices out there but when it comes to naughty basslines and dirty grooves, there's only one name: Jay Tripwire.
