Ollie Jaye began as a club DJ many years ago in the early years of Hip Hop progressing through electro, bleeps, piano house and hardcore until 1996 when trance and hard house began to emerge. This was his true vocation. He made his first 'proper' tune "Eden" (all previous efforts were rubbish he says!) which he gave to one of his musical heroes and now best friend Jon the Dentist who released it on Bosca Beats. (Eden is available to download on this site) This began a musical partnership that fused Jon's darker edge with Ollie's knowledge of how to make a crowd throw their hands in the air and get the most out of whatever they'd taken! After a few ground breaking tunes such as 4th Kingdom & Anthem they hit the big time with "Imagination". Instantly signed by Tidy Trax it became a worldwide club monster and is still being played today by many DJ's. This was followed by "Feel so Good", once again signed by Tidy Trax and would have been a top 5 hit in the UK charts if it hadn't been for the dubious video that got instantly banned by all TV stations! These records launched Ollie as an international DJ and he enjoyed many years playing his crowdpleasing sets in pretty much every country around the globe. The records with Jon kept coming including the infamous Eminem sampling "Phat Sunshine" under the name "Friends of Stan".
All good things have to come to an end and eventually the years of rock n roll excess and a son meant it was time to retire.
3 years on and he's back. Touring a live P.A along with JTD, 2007 is set to be a big year. A tour of China, Canada & the States is set to go plus loads of UK dates. Here we go again!!!
