| News | Producer Spotlight: Jaytech, Part 1 Posted: 02 Jul 2008 08:00 PM CDT James Cayzer aka Jaytech is one of the hottest producers in the current progressive scene. In the past year, his tracks have become a staple on the Beatport charts, thanks to his unique approach to melding prog and trance, with touches of electro and tech thrown in for good measure. In the past week, he’s had thirteen tracks in the Beatport Progressive Top 100. It’s no wonder he’s a favorite of the Anjunabeats family. With his new album, 'Everything Is OK' blowing up the Beatport servers, we figured now would be a good time to hit him up for his production secrets. Prepare to be amazed by his studio rig, it’s not what you’re expecting. |

| News | Fairmont Plays Killer Live Set at Cielo Posted: 02 Jul 2008 02:31 PM CDT Around six years ago Jake Fairley aka Fairmont was part of the rock outfit, 'Uncut' in Toronto. Surprisingly, and quite uniquely apart from many of his indie rock contemporaries, he was concurrently working on his own solo electronic music project. Jake was in his home studio with drum machines and analogue gear, making beats of his own kind -- an amazing hybrid somewhere between rock and techno. His shoegazer-style vocals would at the time blend well with electronic drum machine and synthesizer sounds, while his groundbreaking sound would impress Toronto's techno elite. During the late '90s and early 2000s Jake was able to make friends with other Toronto techno producers before many of them -- such as Mike Shannon, Jeff Milligan, Pan/Tone, Jeremy P. Caulfield, Adam Marhsall, and Fairley, himself -- eventually moved to Berlin. Fast forward to Friday night in New York City at Cielo nightclub -- Fairmont is playing the mainstream club circuit and he performs a wonderful but too-short set. |
