Jason Jollins Biography (updated 1/1/2008)
Since the late 1990's, Jason Jollins has been on the forefront of the progressive house movement in New York City, considered throughout the industry as New York City's top Progressive House Dj.
Due to a high demand for Jason's live sets world-wide, Jason left his full time career in Online Advertising in March of 2006 and began to tour extensively around the world.
Consistently selling out each venue he has played, he is being looked at by many as "the 2007 break through dj" and has become one of the most In-Demand dj's on the global touring circuit.
While Jason is enjoying the fruits of his success, his journey has been long and many sacrifices have been made to achieve the status that he has today.
Jason started DJ'ing during the late 1980's. Initially spinning freestyle and house music, he continued to cultivate his DJ skills through the early nineties, embracing his love and talent for the art.
Best known for highly technical and well programmed sets, Jason's sound can be best described as a dark and danceable progressive house fusion of techy, electro, tribal, melodic, sexy, bass-line driven & vocal dubbed elements.
While music has always been a passionate hobby of Jason’s since an early age, in the mid 1990’s, the demand for Jason’s live sets transformed this hobby into something much greater. Since then, he has had the privilege of playing alongside world renowned DJs such as Sasha, Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk, Steve Lawler, Lee Burridge, Chris Fortier, Hybrid, ATB, Juan Atkins, Armin Van Buuren, Marcus Schulz, Hernan Cattaneo, Above & Beyond, Seb Fontaine, Nu Nrg, Oscar G, Guy Ornadel, Gabriel & Dresden, Anthony Pappa, Tini Tun, Deep Mariano, Darren Emerson, Ferry Corsten, Max Graham, and many others.
Aside from holding down a former Godskitchen residency in NYC, Jason has continuously held high profile residencies at NYC's top venues such as Avalon (NYC), Centro-Fly, Filter 14, the Roxy, Webster Hall, Spirit (formerly Twilo), Crobar New York, Love NYC, and currently plays regularly for Made Event @ Pacha New York.
These opportunities have considerably elevated Jason's status as a DJ and have given him the platform needed to form the strong following of fans that he has today.
In the late 1990s, Jason formed an event production company called United Underground which still lives and thrives today. The idea behind United Underground is to serve as a platform for local, national, and international talent to share there passion within their craft.
While appearing on many of the top internet radio stations, Jason has held a monthly radio show on Proton Radio for over 5 years being one of the first dj's to host a live Proton Radio dj show. Jason continues to host his show on Proton Radio as well as a monthly show (Acute Sessions with Jason Jollins) on Di.Fm (Digitally Imported Radio), DLA Radio (Dance Latino America Radio), ETN.FM, Stream.fm, and the top internet radio station in Greece DanceRadio.Gr.
Jason's record label, Acute Recordings, is considered to be one of the top progressive house labels coming out of the United States. Launched in 2002, Acute releases have graced the charts of many of the worlds top talent including #1 charted releases on the prestigious balance record pool, #1 best selling tracks on beatport.com, and with releases creating buzz in several magazines and online media sources.
In 2008, Jason will continue to tour around the country and globally while releasing the quality tracks that fans have come to expect from Acute Recordings. Jason's diligent work and sacrifices have not gone unnoticed; his passion for music continues to inspire him while his profile continues to rise.
