Biography DJ / Producer C-Jay
Born in 1976, multi talented Dutch artist C-Jay took up an early interest in electronic
and experimental music from the hands of artists like Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis and
Tangerine Dream.
At the age of 11, C-Jay started taking his first muscial educations on the ins- and
outs of both digital and analogue instruments, with the enthousiastic love and
support of his parents.
And now years later at the age of 32, C-Jay is as diverse as it gets in todays dance
music business: former recordstore owner (Sessions Recordstore), dj, producer,
label owner (The Sessions Recordings) and promoter of his own underground dance
nights, called “The Sessions”. At the moment C-Jay put a stop on promoting his
nights, to focus all his time on studiowork and performances.
As an artist / producer C-Jay got his first worldwide release in the spring of
2004.This tune (SwayWatch) got signed to the Moun10 imprint, (owned by Dutch
house legend Jaydee) and got massive support from artists like The Flash Brothers,
Chris Fortier and Fred Numf. After this first one the attention of the scene rapidly
grew.
His second release was made together with his friend Jaydee under their “Graylock”
moniker and got released on First Impression Recordings, the label of ……Jaydee.
This release got supported, played and charted by Armin Van Buuren, Ton TB, Paul
Van Dyk, The Flash Brothers, Carl Cox, Chris Fortier and many more. The release
also made it into the higher ranks of the world renowned Balance Record Pool charts.
Due to the fact that both releases were received so well by the international dance
scene, C-Jay decided to start his own recordlabel “The Sessions Recordings.” The
basic idea behind it was to have no boundaries in releasing his own material, not
having to depend on other labels in this early stage of his career and trying to draw
the attention of the big guys even more. The label soon became a fact, and the first
vinyl release hit stores worldwide in november 2004.

After 3 vinyl releases on his own label C-Jay
had the result he wanted: the attention of
both the scene as well as the people on
dancefloors worldwide. The established
labels were now interested in him as an
artist, cause he made a name for himself
and showed that his tunes were loved by
many around the globe.
Later on, in November 2005,
C-Jay’s first co-production with his friend
Mick Wilson (UK) appeared on the well
respected Dutch imprint Cyber Records.
This masterpiece called “Darkism” is a
personal favourite of none less than Anthony Pappa and Hernan Cattaneo who both
have been dropping it a lot in their sets of summer / fall 2005. Hernan Cattaneo
even closed his legendary Dance Valley Festival 2005 set with this floorfiller.... and
Dutch national radio did a live broadcast of that set.
The recordlabel C-Jay owns still exists nowadays; February 2006 C-Jay decided to
revitalise the label again and turn it into a digital imprint. Talented young guys like
Roger Martinez, Josel & Pedro, Bastian Bouma and Perry O'Neil released their stuff
through The Sessions Recordings, but early 2008 C-Jay decided to focus the label's
attention back to his own music again. The label will basically be an outlet for his
own material again, after having given young artists a chance to use his label as a
jumpstart for their careeer.
The main result of this decision is that the first full lenght artist album of C-Jay hit
stores worldwide September 2008, and is called Magnanimity. The double disc is a
statement of where C-Jay’s at right now as a producer and musician. On this album
u will find his own productions of which none have been released before the album.
So all the material is fresh and exclusive. C-Jay's trademark mixture of trance,
progressive and techno is showcased on 2 discs, with remixes included by other
artists on the second disc.
Having shared dj booths with almost every big star of the scene, C-Jay is bound to
become one himself. In the last couple of years C-Jay found himself playing gigs in
Poland, Romania, Holland, Germany, Greece, Belgium, Switzerland and the Ukraine
and the rest of the world is waiting for him.
Not doing it for the Hall Of Fame but just loving his job and the scene C-Jay is known
for his motto: “Progressive is an attitude….”

Great guy, great producer, good
friend.
Jaydee
Well done boy! I love your stuff.
Hernan Cattaneo
It's great to work on tracks
together, C-Jay is such a down to
earth guy. Great producer!
Eelke Kleijn
C-Jay's the missing link between
Psychedelic Trance and Progressive House. And above all a top geezer who's passion
and enthusiasm for Trance is inspiring.
Zen Mechanics
Since a few years now i find everything C-Jay makes is ending up in my sets..
Definetley ace productions.
Anthony Pappa
Epic and smooth music. I like alot the different storys in each track. Very deep and
atmospheric moods.

C-Jay is not only a really nice person and my mate, but also a brilliant dj / producer

DJ19 (19box recordings japan)
Great producer, i really love the music he makes. Dropping it a lot during my sets.
Sandra Collins (perfecto / usa)
C-Jay is besides our good friend, also a devoted producer who sticks with his own
sound and style. Doing the stuff he does best, making damn good tunes!
LeRon & Yves Eaux
I found C-Jay's DJ-ing style to be remarkably smooth when i played with him in a
club in Holland. His music choice is excellent. When I saw C-Jay play,
I was very impressed and I'm not easily impressed! Smooth, Flawless, and utterly
enjoyable.
He's definitely Premier league!
Chris Cowie
Really good Mixer. Good sound blends and nice long mixing. I played with him in
Poland and Holland and really enjoyed his sets and music.
