Guy J

Guy J began DJing at 15 years, He released his third LP The Trees, The Sea & The Sun in November 2015. Like a number of his earlier EPs, it comprises two separate parts, beginning with an up-tempo techno record side, followed by a series of down-tempo tracks. He has said that the reason for this division is that he writes for the dance floor as well as creating tracks suited to closer listening. ==Style==

Guy J is known for his diverse musical influences and styles. He cites the mixing techniques of Israeli underground techno Guy Gerber and Canadian minimal techno DJ Richie Hawtin as influences, saying "both take you on journey. There are changes, but when you remember it, it feels like one track." Reviewing his 2013 double EP "Seven / Milestone" for Dancing Astronaut, Dan Roy Carter wrote that the release "epitomizes the journey-like stamina of his wide-ranging bodies of musical work". ==Equipment==

His first synthesizer was a Virus TI, an early virtual analog synthesizer. He still favors, where possible, using analogue equipment over software, describing the sound from analogue as "a bit dirty and warm". He began his career using the Ableton digital audio workstation, and later switched to Traktor. He says that both programs allow him "to loop a lot and [have] some kind of flow in the set." His live sets tend to contain a large number of his own recorded tracks, as he sees himself primarily as a record producer, rather than a DJ. ==Discography==
