Focus on: Jason Van Wyk

Signing his first single at the age of fourteen, having his club debut as a DJ at the age of thirteen, with years of experimentation with music production and writing music, Jason has found his ground in music that works well for him and for the listeners who have praised his productions.

Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, Jason van Wyk (born 10 January 1990) is rapidly building himself a name in the worldwide Electronic Dance Music scene.

Being an all rounded musician, playing a variety of instruments and composing and producing in various genres, its no surprise he’s consistently able to provide an intense level of detail, emotion, depth and musical ability in every track he does, producing a unique sound that will rock any dance floor as well as providing an awesome listening experience, Jason’s tracks have captured the interest of listeners around the world and some of the biggest names in the dance music scene.

With support for his original productions and remixes from leading DJ’s such as Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Tiesto, Markus Schulz, Andy Moor, Cosmic Gate, First State and many more, its quite clear he’s firmly making his mark on the international circuit.

Working under aliases and pseudonyms in his early years as a producer, 2008 marked the release of his first single under his own name entitled “Imagine”, which was released on the renowned German label, Redux Recordings. A year later his collaboration with Dutch duo Vast Vision titled “Oceanblue” was released on the UK label Alter Ego Recordings, which received worldwide support and appeared on numerous compilation CD’s from DJ’s such as Aly & Fila, George Acosta and Abbot & Chambers, not to mention play listed on countless radio shows including Tiesto’s ‘Club Life’.

2009 showed his production and musical skills once again with his second single on the Redux label, “Far From Me”, a deep melodic Trancer that received rave reviews and was even licensed to Armada Music after which was seen play listed by Armin van Buuren on his ‘A State of Trance’ radio show.

2010 looks to be Jason’s busiest year yet. With two brand new tracks, “Always” & “Once Again”, signed to Tiesto’s renowned Black Hole Recordings label and a bunch of new originals, collaborations and remixes in the pipeline.

Working full time as a music producer and DJ, with his tracks being released and licensed to record labels such as Warner, Sony, Black Hole, Armada, Spinnin’, Alter Ego, Media, and Redux, not to mention an exclusive publishing deal with the prestigious Cloud 9 Music group, the future looks very bright for this rising young star, expect only quality through and through as he’s definitely on his way to the top!
