Jay Wikid's crafty basslines will turn your insides out and have you grinding before you know it. His musical recipes blend infectious hiphop rhythms with light sprinkles of glitchy fun - smothered with a topping of bassline warfare. Many years ago now, the Canadian producer was chosen by Bassnectar as his protege; their first collaborative release, "Select Frequency", was the #1 Hip Hop track on Beatport for over 3 weeks and subsequently licensed to MTV, where it continues to rack up international plays. Jay also works under the alias "Ghetto Blastaz" in collaboration with Colorado native Jantsen. Expect energetic hip hop and dancehall breaks, overdriven glitchy crunk and electrozested zipper basslines from this hard-hitting duo. Currently you can catch Jay as a Friday night co-host on Glitch.FM radio, a resident of "Whatever's Dope" at Vancouver's Shine Nightclub, and furiously locked in the studio preparing a dynamic live show for his first international tour. His enthusiasm immediately ignites any dancefloor - watch him throb and bob, energetically dancing along with his crowd, as he twists and warps his wompy style productions. Whatever genre he's playing, you can count on Jay to keep it squishy, glitchy and sexy all at the same time. Straight rowdy!
After His feverish and headrocking set at PK Village (Shambhala 2010)
Jay shows no signs of slowing down. New collaberations coming with
Bassnectar, Subvert, Illesha, and Jantsen. Look forward to non stop
releases in 2011.
Bassnectar- "my favorite Producer"
Ill Gates- "your Killin it bro"
Opiuo- " heaps of wikid at the village lastnight"
Doctor P- " Sick set man, SEND ME SOME TUNES?"
Illesha- "sickest beats in the world"
Jay Wikid + Opiuo are currently destroying the beatport breaks charts,
with the original single called PANTY SLINGSHOT from the compilation
ACIDCRUNK VOL3 on additech.
