J1 is still sorely missed by one and all having passed away in his second home of Gothenburg, Sweden on November 27th, 2011. Yours Truly were saddened but honored, to have captured the last Master Blazter session on tape with the family over at Different Fur.
J1 aka The Deer, has found time from between his tour dates with Master Blazter to step back onto the Starship 27 and put out another release. Head over to the Bandcamp to get your mits on this Jazzy member.
Computer Jay returns, fresh from his interstellar adventure aboard the Starship 27. This time, it's to curate FACT mix 231.
As is often the case, Computer Jay spreads his talent across various projects, including studio collaborations with Steve Cooper, Dam-Funk and Sa-Ra’s Shafiq Husayn, as well as various members of the magic circle of Los Angeles’ crate-digging community.
With a vast musical range that takes in boogie, G-Funk, classic computer games and everything in between, we consider him one of music’s most underrated, and when Phonica offered us the chance to host this live recording, from last year’s party they threw with Ramp Recordings, the guys at FACT jumped at it.
No tracklist for this one yet, just some fresh beats.
Computer Jay has been steady on that grind tweaking dials, enjoy the fruits of his labor ripe as they are. He put out a 12" on Ramp, started to tour with Master Blazter, was featured on Gaslamp Killer's Death Gate EP and had that outstanding release with Dam Funk on All City.
Computer Jay returns to the scene of the crime: The HVW8 podcast. The initial super session (HVW8 #2) with Dam Funk and J-1 lead to the curation of Master Blazter and in Aug 2007, he curated Live @ The BBQ podcast #18 for HVW8, along with Kutmah. Just over 3 yrs later, he returns to the West Hollywood gallery to curate once more for the famed troupe.
