Jason Randolph finds his success in the realm of dance music a bit unbelievable.
“I began playing the guitar as a kid and ended up with a minor
in jazz performance at Clark University. When I met B.B. King, I told
him I was meant to be the next great guitar player.” Jason laughs.
However, he found his musical interests moving in a different direction
while playing with some local jazz bands in the Boston area. He came
in contact with dance music while working in some of Boston’s
best clubs. "I could not get over the feeling of being in a room
while this music pumpin’ at 12,000 watts. It was magical. I needed
to be a part of that.”
Jason made the switch in 1996. He was offered his first remix, Caesar
and Monolo’s Billboard charting “Bolero.”
Shortly after this initial success Jason made the move to Los Angeles
and became part of the Hot Tracks remix team, doing remixes for popular
artists such as Alanis Morisette and Tori Amos. Word was out and Jason
was asked to be programmer for the likes of Rick Nowels, Felix da Housecat
and the superstar remix team, Thunderpuss. His work with Grammy winning
songwriters Danny and Michael Sembello, helped sign songs to artists
such as Celine Dion and Tatiana Ali. His list of production/remix credits
is pages long (Lolleta Holloway, Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, N-Sync, Ricky Martin,
etc…). But it is his progressive house sound that made us sit
up and take notice. Melodic basslines, banging rhythms, and unique filtering
techniques are order of the day when it comes to his production work
and he manages to bring all of this plus unbridled energy into his DJ
and live sets.
