DJ GRAY

............................................................ ........................
Jernej Graj, born in Slovenia in 1979, shoved his predisposition for music even when he was a child. By the time he was seven, he was playing acoustic guitar and drums while attending Music School. Finally, he discovered electronic music, which remains one of the greatest passions in his life. His first DJing experience in 1999 opened a whole new world to him and eventually led him to become a professional DJ persona. While performing all over Slovenia he developed a distinctive stile and unique personal techniques, which in 2002 provided a ticket to first international performances. So far he performed in Macedonia, Belgium, France, Germany...
Being more than just a “spinner”, Gray quickly recognized his love for music production. He soon succeeded in getting his work published for the first time by Finnish label Fak Records on a Various Artist EP, soon to be followed by his first single EP, released by the highly respected label, the one and only, Force Inc. Music Works from Germany in 2002. These achievements are but a proof of genuine enthusiasm for music production and his hard work. It became his growing desire to introduce techno sound with something new and completely different resulting in a cover of a traditional Serbian/Macedonian folksong “Ajde Jano”, where lyrics were interpreted by Celtic singer Talitha MacKenzie (USA/Scotland). The song was released by Invasion records from Belgium, an excellent brand owned and run by the legendary DJ & producer Zzino. “Ajde Jano” also lived to be remixed by several younger producers, such as Adam Jay, Flash Golden and Bjorn Bommersheim.
As his music evolved above techno and his electronic sound skills matured, he started to incorporate electro and house sound into his work. His efforts were immediately complimented and praised by Billy Nasty. The first EP resulting from this spectre called “Eletronuet” was released in early 2005, published by the promising XL Recordings sub label Platinum Projects (UK) under his real name Jernej Graj. Simultaneously, his professional success continues with more releases in various genres on labels: Highland Beats (techno), Yin Yang (techno), Evolved Records (electro), *Cutz Records (techno), Evopro Recordings (breakbeat), Advanced (electro-house), Kazoo (electro-tech), Techment / Mixtape (techno), Sucasa Beats (house) and his own techno label called Audionautica and house sub-label Audionautica House Recordings.
His tracks were remixed by artists: Pedro Delgardo, Elton D, Miche & Mirzinho, Section One, Allan Banford, Greg Kobe, Psm & Kinetic Soul, Max Cooper, Adam Jay, Flash Golden, Digital Soul, Reflex and more, while one of his tracks was currently futured on new mixed CD from techno pioneer, inventor of remixing - Kevin Saunderson (May 2007) and more tracks on other compilations (Pedro Delgardo - Digital Lifestyle (Yin Yang Records), So Intense! - Volume 1 (RockitWave8) - mixed by Deekron)!
Current productions from Gray were played by artists as: John Digweed, Kevin Saunderson, Ben Long, Pedro Delgardo, Axel Karakasis, Hertz, Paul Mac, DJ Murphy, Gayle San, to name but a few.
Latelly focusing on house and electro production: recent electro-house remixes of Buckwild and Sweat tracks for U.S. pop / r’n’b group - Anything But Monday are upcoming soon on major label Universal / Motown Republic Group (USA) and another remix of Vic Palminteri’s (aka Victor Palmez) - “I Want U” track on one of the promising house labels - Ego Music Italy.
