The first hour of this was aired on the Progressive Channel of DI.fm for the 10th Anniversary of the Old Norsk Sessions show hosted by Nitemer. However, this mix is actually just over five hours and very much the stereotypical DJ 'journey'. It is a representation of how I would play over the course of an entire night... Starting out with progressive breaks, moving into some progressive house and then landing upon melodic techno with a few classics and also exclusive unreleased Jay Kaufman productions thrown in for good measure.. Turn this up loud and dance away! ARTIST - TRACK TITLE - ALBUM/E.P. NAME - LABEL - CATALOGUE NUMBER 1. Nick Devon - The Ghost In My Head - Monochromatic World - Steyoyoke Recordings 105 2.

Progressive house? Progressive trance? Both?

I wrote this when I found out I would be having a son. There's lyrics as wel, but I never got around to including them in the mixdown before the track was signed. This track is very much dedicated to my son, Jakob Mackenzie John Kaufman.

Melodic techno at it's best.

A sound I've been hearing a lot more of lately is the whole progressive beaks sound that was emerging in the early 2000s. This is a collection of some of the latest tracks I've heard featuring this re-emerging sound.

This mix is big on Germany. A lot of the 'techno' that's coming out of Germany has been blowing my mind lately. I don't think this is really techno because it's more techno lite (TM), but it's amazing to my ears. Lots of vocals, riffs and drums tough enough to withstand a Houdini punch to the gut. As always, this is 82 minutes long for those of you who don't have an mp3 connection in your car and choose to burn CDs. This is also mastered too. I dare say it sounds quite good.

This starts off on the whole bass house/London garage sound that I'm really into at the moment and moving more into the progressive sounds that fit into that scene as well. This set is big on oomph!

'Deep house' has become one of those dirty words to me. The stuff masquerading as deep house really isn't all that deep and possibly isn't even that house-y, but it's big on groove, vocals and sounds a bit nu-disco-esque too. On top of that, there's a big sound that's coming out of London and Bristol that's very bass driven that also seems to get classed into this 'deep house' banner, when really it's more influenced by 2 Step, UK Garage, Dubstep and Speed Garage. I didn't like speed garage the first time around in the mid-1990s, but for some reason I love the modern incarnation of it. This is a combination of those two sounds together - because they fit quite well! Jay Kaufman presents The Mistique Clique - August 29th, 2014 ARTIST - TRACK TITLE - LABEL - CATALOGUE NUMBER 1.

My latest track, done at the latest incarnation of my studio. Definitely a hark back to the old progressive house days of yore, but with a modern production twist with influences from the melodic techno sound coming out of Germany in 2016.

Here's a collection of tunes that helped shape my early teenage years. These tracks were pumping out on the radio and also on the speakers of the all-ages disco/nightclub that I frequently went to. It's largely downtempo and has a bit of an Ibiza vibe to it as I suspect it was when these tracks were out.

This was originally released back in 2005 on a Canadian label run by an old DJ friend, Matt Lok. Matt and I frequently played together in the early 1990s and were some of the 'original' house DJs in the very small Kitchener-Waterloo rave and club scene. A long story short, this is my first and last released track featuring me singing. I wanted to prove I could do it. I did. I don't think I'll go down that road again, but I know better to say never. Sadly, this was also the last thing I released on vinyl before the bottom end of the vinyl market fell out. I believe 1000 copies of this were pressed. Now you're lucky to see 200-300 copies of house tracks being pressed. Such is the state of things. Word on the street is that this will be seeing a re-release in 2015 to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of it's release that will include a remastered original mix and new remixes from myself and others. Stay tuned!

I was working on a track that was using a large chunk of my anlogue synth hardware. Upon closing my DAW, a note got stuck and all of my synths starting doing crazy things at once. This inspried me to jam away live without any form of a sequencer. This is totally improvised, live and was recorded as you hear it. It's entirely imperfect, but perhaps that's the beauty of it? The pads and bell sounds are all provided by my Roland JX-8P. The bass sounds are my Korg MS-20 Mini. The oscillating synth sound is the Arturia MiniBrute and finally, the whine sound is my Oberheim SEM-Pro. They're all going through a Spirit FX-16 mixing desk that has an amazing built-in Lexicon reverb on it. Sadly, my MS-20 kept cutting out, so you get to hear that too!

This was licensed to the independent film 'Rolling'. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469966/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 I believe the film is available on Netflix in some parts of the world. Anyway, the film never received a wide release and pretty much went straight to DVD. In an effort to beef up the script, content and so forth, the soundtrack was recut and my friend Kevin Bazell (AKA Kazell) happened to be the music supervisor of the film. He also starred in it too. ARP is from the scene in which he stars. That can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFxfbIeYP0I When I saw this for the first time I literally lost my mind as it's pretty much the pivotal moment in the movie. Totally an ego moment! I also licensed another track to the movie called 'New Flava' that is forthcoming on Soundcloud.
