Jason Jollins

For aspiring DJs, there are few stories as inspiring as that of Jason Jollins. One of New York's true homegrown success stories, Jason has worked his way up to become a much in-demand international headliner while running his record label Acute Recordings.

Jason has been a driving force behind New York's progressive house scene since the late 1990's, steadily building a reputation for cutting-edge dance floor selections weaved together with precision mixing. He's known for his diversity and flexibility behind the decks, a trait that's landed him gigs alongside other world renowned DJs such as Sasha, Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk, Steve Lawler, Lee Burridge, Juan Atkins, Armin Van Buuren, Marcus Schulz, Hernan Cattaneo, Above & Beyond, Gabriel & Dresden, Anthony Pappa, Darren Emerson, Ferry Corsten, Sander Van Doorn, Max Graham, and many others.

In the past, Jason has held residencies at New York City top venues Crobar, Centro Fly, Filter 14 and Avalon. Currently, Jason performs regularly for NYC's top electronic dance music production company Made Event and regularly headlines extended sets at Pacha New York.

Outside of New York, Jason has a jam-packed international touring schedule where he has earned a loyal following at some of the world's finest venues. He has also headlined and co-headlined for the biggest clubbing franchises in the world such as Ministry of Sound, Godskitchen, Ibiza Open, Pacha and recently he was the only American DJ billed for the world reknowned Creamfields Central Europe 2009 festival.

His music is a unique style he's dubbed "Tech-Prog", a skillful blending of progressive house with techno and tech-house elements. Masterfully building up energy on the dance floor then taking the room into overdrive, Jason's sets always leaves a crowd desperate for more.

In 2009, 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.
