Jay Kaufman Live from Rekindling - Kitchener, ON, Canada - July 27th, 2024
Here's my live set from Rekindling 2024 in my hometown of Kitchener, ON, Canada. Rekindling is an annual free outdoor party held near downtown Kitchener by Tri-City Flow Arts & Yoga https://www.instagram.com/tricityflow/. If features live music, DJs and various workshops....

Lines Of Communication - The Warning (Jay Kaufman's I Told You So remix)
A remix that's sadly remained unreleased of a Toronto indie rock band that I did. The label asked me to do it in an Anjunadeep style and I have to say I'm quite proud of what I delivered.
-
Jay Kaufman Guest Mix for Norsk Sessions - DI.fm - February 1, 2020
The first hour of this was aired on the Progressive Channel of DI.fm for the 10th Anniversary of the Old Norsk Sessions show hosted by Nitemer. However, this mix is actually just over five hours and very much the stereotypical DJ 'journey'. It is a representation of how I would play over the…

Jay Kaufman - 1991
Progressive Trance? Melodic Techno? Progressive House? Either way, I'm quite proud of this! Literally just finished it. Now to sign it somewhere!
-
Andrew Huang - Yours (Jay Kaufman & Owl's No Matter Hoot remix)
This is a combined effort in between myself and my new studio partner, Nicholas Vining - who records with me as Owl. I've spent probably 40 hours on this remix - and I feel it shows. The production is dense and there's lots of layers of various things going on - including edits of the vocals,...

Jay Kaufman - Star 69 - Star 69 E.P. - Emotional Content Recordings 063
This is a cover of Fat Boy Slim's 'Star 69' track. I've always been partial the the original mix and I had a few of the parts, but not enough to really make it a remix, so I wrote around what little I had and it tunred into this. Released through Kiwi progressive house label Emotional Content...
-
Jay Kaufman - The Number Pi - Star 69 E.P. - Emotional Content Recordings 063
Released through Kiwi progressive house label Emotional Content Recordings in February of 2019.

Jay Kaufman presents Menacing Part 2 - December 2018
Here's part two of the Menacing release I've done. Proper progressive house and melodic techno!

Jay Kaufman - Menacing
Progressive house? Progressive trance? Both?

Jay Kaufman - Voodoo Ray
Technocracy began as the first electronic music show on college radio station CFBU 103.7 FM (Brock Radio) in St. Catharines, ON, Canada in 1995. The (then) new radio station lacked any electronic music being hosted on its airwaves and Jay Kaufman was the man to carve out what went on to become...
-
Jay Kaufman - For You (Original mix) - ICONYC Noir NOIR021
I wrote this when I found out I would be having a son. There's lyrics as wel, but I never got around to including them in the mixdown before the track was signed. This track is very much dedicated to my son, Jakob Mackenzie John Kaufman. Released on ICONYC Noir on January 28th, 2019 with a...

-
Moby - Go (Jay Kaufman's Got It Going remix)
'Go' is a long time favourite that I've been wanting to remix for some number of years. Unfortunately there have been a spat of off official remixes that I was obviously not commissioned for. That said, I managed to source a good amount of the original parts and was just messing about when this...

Jay Kaufman presents Autumn 2 - September 17, 2016
Melodic techno at it's best.

Jay Kaufman presents Do What It Takes To Get More Breaks - January 28th, 2017
A sound I've been hearing a lot more of lately is the whole progressive beaks sound that was emerging in the early 2000s. This is a collection of some of the latest tracks I've heard featuring this re-emerging sound.
-
Jay Kaufman presents Day Shift - July 21st, 2013
This mix is big on Germany. A lot of the 'techno' that's coming out of Germany has been blowing my mind lately. I don't think this is really techno because it's more techno lite (TM), but it's amazing to my ears. Lots of vocals, riffs and drums tough enough to withstand a Houdini punch to the…

Jay Kaufman - Guest mix for Mr. Rain's Nite Grooves on OSradio 104.8 FM, Osnabrück, Germany
Here is the guest mix I did for Mr. Rain's NiteGrooves Radio Show on OSradio 104.8 FM in Osnabrück, Germany on March 28th, 2013. I've included the entire two hour radio show. A full 320 kps version is to come without the radio vocal spots. You can find more about Mr. Rain through here:...

Jay Kaufman presents The Night Shift Volume 2 - March 10th, 2013
All things deep, groovy and bassline-driven. Ramping up to the more techy end of the spectrum. Jay Kaufman presents The Night Shift Volume 2 - March 10th, 2013 ARTIST - TRACK TITLE - LABEL 1. KWIKFIKS - I Love You (TakisM Deep Edit) - Only At Night 2. Nolan featuring Amber Jolene - Go Slow...
-
Jay Kaufman Presents Late Night Sessions Volume 4 - November 28th, 2014
This starts off on the whole bass house/London garage sound that I'm really into at the moment and moving more into the progressive sounds that fit into that scene as well. This set is big on oomph! Enjoy. Jay Kaufman presents Late Night Sessions Volume 4 - November 28th, 2014 ARTIST - TRACK…

Jay Kaufman presents The Night Shift 2 - July 3rd, 2013
A trip (as cliche as that may be) from chilled out sounds to the more tough and techy. This is basically how I would warm up a club night for an opening DJ if I were given 82 minutes to do so. Jay Kaufman presents Night Shift 2 - July 3rd, 2013 ARTIST - TRACK - TITLE - CATALOGUE NUMBER 1. Else -...
-
Jay Kaufman Presents The Mistique Clique - August 29th, 2014
'Deep house' has become one of those dirty words to me. The stuff masquerading as deep house really isn't all that deep and possibly isn't even that house-y, but it's big on groove, vocals and sounds a bit nu-disco-esque too. On top of that, there's a big sound that's coming out of London and...
-
Jay Kaufman - Victoria Terrace (Original mix)
My latest track, done at the latest incarnation of my studio. Definitely a hark back to the old progressive house days of yore, but with a modern production twist with influences from the melodic techno sound coming out of Germany in 2016.
-
Jay Kaufman presents Autumn 2 - September 17, 2016
Melodic techno at its best! Jay Kaufman presents Autumn 2 - September 2, 2016 Mixed, engineered and mastered by Jay Kaufman at Intellect SoundSource Studios, Fergus, ON, Canada http://www.soundcloud.com/jaykaufman Bookings: [email protected] ARTIST - TRACK TITLE - LABEL - CATALOGUE NUMBER 1....

Jay Kaufman Presents Classics - Balaerica Session - September 5th, 2015
Here's a collection of tunes that helped shape my early teenage years. These tracks were pumping out on the radio and also on the speakers of the all-ages disco/nightclub that I frequently went to. It's largely downtempo and has a bit of an Ibiza vibe to it as I suspect it was when these tracks...
-
Jay Kaufman - Fade To Black - FullBodySoundSystem Recordings 001
This was originally released back in 2005 on a Canadian label run by an old DJ friend, Matt Lok. Matt and I frequently played together in the early 1990s and were some of the 'original' house DJs in the very small Kitchener-Waterloo rave and club scene. A long story short, this is my first and…

Jay Kaufman - Imperfect Ambient Noodling Jam (The Stuck MIDI Note Effect)
I was working on a track that was using a large chunk of my anlogue synth hardware. Upon closing my DAW, a note got stuck and all of my synths starting doing crazy things at once. This inspried me to jam away live without any form of a sequencer. This is totally improvised, live and was recorded…

Jay Kaufman - ARP - Tortoise Shell Recordings
This was licensed to the independent film 'Rolling'. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469966/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 I believe the film is available on Netflix in some parts of the world. Anyway, the film never received a wide release and pretty much went straight to DVD. In an effort to beef up the script,...

Kweku Saunderson - Instinctx (Jay Kaufman's Deep Instincts Remix) - Sounds Of Juan 130
Kweku Saunderson is the nephew of Detroit techno legend and pioneer, Kevin 'Inner City' Saunderson of the infamous Belleville Three. The other two producers being of course the equally legendary Juan Atkins and Derrick May. Kweku has followed in his uncle's footsteps and started in the world of...
-
Jay Kaufman - Boom Bap
UNSIGNED! Please get in touch if you're a label and intersted. I'd actually forgotten I completed this track. This track focuses largely around an oscillating bassline from the rather dashing Anode Meeblip synth from Canada. Coming in a rather convincing $170 CAD, this synth - while monophonic -...
-
Jay Kaufman - Garage City
It's probably not a surprise, but I've really been digging the whole Bristol/London bass house/garage vibe that's been happening over the last couple of years. Those influences have clearly rubbed off in a production that I did for the first time ever in Logic X - or even on a Mac for that…
more -
Jay Kaufman - Skeleton Angel
I've always loved the more lush, jazzy and melodic forms of drum 'n bass on labels such as Certificate 18 (Photek's label), Hospital Recordings, Looking Good/Good Looking, Shogun Audio and artists like LTJ Bukem. As a result of that, I've always wondered if I could produce this genre. A few years...
-
Jay Kaufman presents On Par - August 18th,
There's a lot of different music out there masquerading as different genres right now. Progressive House is actually poppy dance music. Deep House isn't exactly deep or aruguably that housey. Melodic Techno is actually Progressive House trying not to be Progressive House because that genre has…

Jay Kaufman - Bump (Work In Progress)
Here's a track that is a work in progress that I'm looking for some feedback on.

Jay Kaufman presents Opus - Bedrock Board Festive Mix Swap - February 8th, 2014
Opus. The title says it all, really. This is a story of my musical upbringing from a kid to an adult.
-
Jay Kaufman presents Autumn - October 16th, 2013
Starting off on the housier end of things and moving more towards the tougher sounds of techno, this mix isn't the latest and greatest, but a collection of tunes I have been into for a while. Mixed, engineered and mastered by Jay Kaufman at Intellect SoundSource Studios - Fergus, ON, Canada....
-
Jay Kaufman presents Night Shift 4 - August 8th, 2013
While I have moved away from the progressive house sound - especially after a lot of people started to try and make the next 'Faxing Berlin' by Deadmau5 (and what that variant has become) - I have not given up my love for this genre. These tunes aren't all new. Some have been around for a while,...
-
Jay Kaufman - The Fear (Progression mix) - Sonambulist Recordings 003
This was my first ever vinyl release on Derby, UK-based Sonambulist Recordings and was released in October 2001. The track was supported and charted by a lot of the better known progressive house jocks of the time. http://www.discogs.com/label/Sonambulist+Recordings There's a bit of a back story...

Jay Kaufman presents Driven - December 19th, 2012
Lots of vocals, big on basslines. Here's some of the better vocal tunes I've heard recently mixed in with the deeper sounds of now. ARTIST - TRACK TITLE - LABEL/CATALOGUE NUMBER 1. A&1 - Midnight - Midnight E.P. - Incepto Deep 008 2. Maya Jane Coles - Run With the Wild - Easier To Hide E.P. - I…

Jay Kaufman presents Device - December 2nd, 2012
All things deep and housey, with a focus on the funkier side of the big European bassline-driven sound that's massive all over the world at the moment. Heavy on vocals, big on untz. ARTIST - TRACK TITLE - LABEL/CATALOGUE # 1. Odesza - Intro - Summer's Gone - free download via...

-
Jay Kaufman presents Bits 'N Pieces - June 4th, 2012
I'm incredibly happy with this mix. Low slung-out house music meant for smoke-filled nightclubs of the sleezy house music variety. Lots of pitched down vocals, deep techy sounds and heavy on the key mixing. If you don't rock this out on your headphones or car stereo, you're missing out. 82…

Jay Kaufman presents Boxed In - March 28th, 2012
This set starts off very techy and goes all melodic. A set for dark rooms and peak time, I'm quite proud of this and it's very representative of what I'd play in a room as a peak time set. Crank up the volume and put on your dancing shoes! Jay Kaufman presents Boxed In - March 28th, 2012 ARTIST -...

Jay Kaufman vs. Don Henley - The Boys of Summer-ish
This is my first composition in Ableton from start to finish. I have used it before for piece work and typically produce within Cubase, but Ableton's timestretching features (which Cubase 5 has, but isn't as intutive) make doing something like this rather easy. I was inspired to do this after...
