About JaySounds :
When midnight strikes across the planet, sensory overload is unleashed in the form of
Australian wunderkind JaySounds and his hot magma take on House Music. Since his burst
onto the scene, Festival headliners like Deadmau5, Malaa, Steve Aoki, and Tiesto have turned
to Jay’s soundscapes en masse to provide dance floors with a sound that pushes low-end to the
point where hearts explode in chests from emotional euphoria. As a seasoned DJ, Jay has
taken what began as humble beginnings rocking dank backrooms in Kings Cross nightclubs to a
worldwide stage, having played across Asia and the Middle East with Europe and the US
waiting in the wings. His production sessions have carried Jay from around Australia to LA. His
single “Legacy” with Kwame skyrocketed to #1 on the ARIA Charts. Support from Triple J and
Spotify Editorial Playlists grow with every release. To cap it all off, Jay secured a placement for
his soul splitting sonics in the billion dollar grossing movie ‘Aquaman’ which has led to further
scoring opportunities in Hollywood. In 2021 things continued to skyrocket with the launch of
Jay’s label, Act7 Records, and continuously sold out Change We Need parties that have
provided Sydney with a fresh take on the nightclubbing experience. The later part of the year
will see the Change parties expand interstate to spread the vibe across the country. Trends
come and go, but with the path JaySounds has forged, his transcendent sound will live forever.
Buckle up.
About Kronic :
The breakout moment for Kronic as a solo artist came with the unassuming “Hey Ho.” Originally
released as a free download, the hip-hop & electronic hybrid took a life of its own, garnering
over 3 million plays online, scoring the Adelaide artist his first International #1, and an album
deal with dance music powerhouse Ultra. Subsequent releases like “Vamonos,” “3 Percent,”
“Beas,” and “Bullet Blowz” saw similar success, with the likes of Tiesto, David Guetta, Steve
Aoki & Hardwell championing his releases.
Moving towards a future hybrid sound mixing electronica and hip-hop, Kronic has teamed up
with rising star Raven Felix, the first female rapper signed to Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang Records,
for the heavy hitting “Feel That.” The track premiered on BBC Radio 1Xtra via Diplo’s radio
show, and held the #1 spot on the Beatport Hip-Hop charts for five consecutive months, while
the LA-filmed video became a fixture on MTV North America and Australia.
Catching the eyes and ears of Grammy Award-winning producer Paul Blair, best known as the
driving force behind Lady Gaga’s “The Edge Of Glory,” Kronic signed a deal that allowed him to
lend his production talents to many others. As his first order of business, Kronic co-produced
“Bend Ova” for Lil Jon and Tyga, which became his debut entry on the Billboard Hot 100. With
his eyes open to the world of pop-production, Kronic has been kept busy crafting records for
Pitbull, Justin Bieber, Jason Derulo, Chris Brown and more.
