Jay Haze has spent much of his late youth as a wanderer, a loner and a loyal vegan.
Before recently relocating from Philadelphia, USA, to Amsterdam, Holland, Haze would
change his residency frequently -- having lived in California, Washington, Colorado,
New York and upstate Pennsylvania -- constantly experiencing America (and now Europe)
to its fullest. Meanwhile, an artist by trade of glass, he was just getting into the
techno-sounds of the mid-nineties like Frankie Bones, Adam X, and, most of all, Richie
Hawtin. It wasn't long before Haze began DJing himself -- offering a deep and minimal
realm of techno and house -- and has already dropped his heady excursions in Boulder,
Rochester, New York City, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Ft. Lauderdale, as well as
internationally in Germany, France, England, Switzerland, Czech and Slovakia. During
recent years, he and the Tuning Spork crew gained much recognition in Philadelphia
through a variety of monthly and one-off Tuning Spork events where Haze hosted and
played alongside DJs like Daniel Bell (a.k.a. DBX), Jeff Milligan (a.k.a. Algorithm),
Dinky (formerly Miss Dinky), Adam Marshall, Tomas Jirku, Markus Maeta, Shawn Rudiman,
Phillip Charles (of Tigerhook and Sylk 130), Chris Udoh (of Tigerhook and Wamdue Kids)
and others. Two years after he launched his DJ-career, he was already producing his
own tracks -- and it was only a short matter of time before this prolific wonderkid
would attract attention of other minimal techno fans, producers and labels across the
globe. To this date, Haze's tracks have been spun by DJs like Richie Hawtin (a.k.a.
Plastikman), Ricardo Villalobos, Jeff Milligan, Daniel Bell, Rob Paine (of Solomonic
Sound), Sean O'Neal (a.k.a. Someone Else and Flowchart), Deep C (of Tigerhook and
Wamdue Kids), Phillip Charles, Jeff Samuel and others.
