Biografía
- Damon Jee started his career in the early 90′s when he discovered electronic music and turned into Djing. He has performed in many clubs and festivals worldwide. He has produced records on Labels such as Correspondant, Roam, Critical Monday..We are all the product of our influences and there is no substitute for experience. Damon Jee is the embodiment of that statement. Over the last 20 years he has carved a career in a very unassuming way, unintentionally writing an exciting new chapter for the global electronic music scene. He is the journeyman who managed to shine brighter by staying true to himself, a musical alchemist experimenting with different sounds to create a deadly new potion. Today, the producer is considered the main exponent of a fresh and exciting new scene many are calling Dark Disco. Getting his start in the studio alongside fellow Frenchman Olivier Giacomotto, the duo became main players on the then booming electro house scene with an impressive run of productions on labels like Definitive and CR2. As he started producing more solo works, Jee naturally veered towards his rebellious heritage growing up on nineties rock and industrial bands like Nine Inch Nails, The Pixies, Nirvana and more. The organic appeal of live rock seeped into his productions: distorted guitars gliding atop fat, off-beat and two-fingered picked bass, all framed within a foundation of percussion and drums that carries Damon Jee’s immaculately engineered and distinct sound. The music he released under his NOZZ moniker is especially steeped in this unique and heavy-duty sound: powerful productions which doubles up as heat seeking missiles aimed straight at the heart of any dancefloor. It was his remix of Pardon Moi’s ‘Power to the People’ that really pushed the affable Frenchman to a wider audience. It has it all: trance melodies and cosmic chords, a confidant rock stomp coiled with electronic euphoria, and robotic vocals gleefully riding a wave of energetic drums. It received support from the world’s best tastemakers including Solomun, Job Jobse and HAAi, introducing Damon Jee to a brand new audience. Today his singular sound can be heard on the underground’s most sought-after labels including Roam, Hafendisko, Suara and Sincopat to name a few. Huge support came in the form of Jennifer Cardini who signed his massive three track Chamaniac EP to her Correspondant Records. Its appeal reaching wide, the EP received support from various corners of the electronic music sphere with a diverse group of DJs from Andrew Weatherall to Solomun to Joris Voorn all getting around it. The natural evolution of Damon Jee has lead to the recent launch of his label, Critical Monday. The new imprint will explore Damon Jee’s idiosyncratic sound even further. The first release under his Holographic Planes moniker, alongside producer Alvaro Cabana, is a three track dance floor bomb featuring an equally effective remix from Jennifer Cardini. With upcoming releases from Curses, Autarkic, Fairmont, and, of course, Damon Jee, the label is set to become a go-to for those looking to ignite any dancefloor. Today Damon Jee is slotting perfectly into his role as a bona fide headliner. Years of experience ensures each set is delivered with a confidant ease and professionalism that sets him apart from the rest. Headlining clubs and events from Spain to Australia to Mexico, Damon Jee is set to spearhead a new generation of electronic music lovers who isn’t afraid to cross-pollinate their music for a thrilling new sound. If you need an antidote for a flailing dancefloor, Damon Jee has the tonic to revive your night. written by : Walter Juan van Wyk̸Soon : Damon Jee & Darlyn Vlys - Kronos ep (Rebolledo remix) - Correspondant KCPK - Atom (Damon Jee remix) - PIAS Dino Lenny - You Little Punk (Damon Jee remix) Fine Human Middle Sky Boom - Shakira feat Yani Ani (Damon Jee remix) - La Dame Noir Dave Seaman - Rodales (Damon Jee remix) - Balance Music Released : Cyence - Non Stop (Damon Jee & Darlyn Vlys remix) - Critical Monday Lewis Beck - Talk to me (Damon Jee remix) - Audiophile Deep (US) Damon Jee - Diplomatico - Correspondant VA Damon Jee & Friends - Chapter 02 - Critical Monday Fiberroot - Mussman (Damon jee remix) - Playground Darlyn Vlys - Machine (Damon Jee remix) Polymath Leonor - That Moment (Damon jee remix) - Playground Damon Jee - Chamaniac ep - Correspondant Dino Lenny - Tokyo (Damon Jee remix) - Roam Sid Le Rock - Hiraeth (Damon Jee remix) - Hafendisko Damon Jee - Ride Alone - Correspondant Damon Jee - Myst - Factor City Renato Cohen - Força (Damon Jee remix) - Suara The Magic Ray - the Enjoyment or Fear (Damon Jee remix) - Dischi Autumno Affkt - Parafernalia (Damon Jee remix) - Sincopat Roliva - Ruido Capital (Damon jee remix) - Nightnoise Damon Jee feat Snem K - Dear Humans ep - rotten City Dionigi - Dancing (Damon Jee remix) - Quantisitic Division Damon Jee - Paranoia - XXX 04 Pardon Moi - Power to the People (Damon Jee remix) Roam Force Majeure - Overawed (Damon Jee remix) - Sulk Magic Cabaret Nocturne - Western Ghost (Damon Jee remix) - Roam D.Y.O.R. - A Ground in the hole (Damon Jee remix) - Rotten City Bufi - Peaks (Damon Jee remix) - Discotexas Blowender - The Phase (Damon Jee remix) - Blindetonation Rodion & Mijo - El Futuro (Damon Jee remix) - Shara Dawad & Mokic - Mireille Dark (Damon Jee remix) Exquisite Pain Freudenthal - Sirens Crypt - Damon Jee remix) - Emerald & Doreen Mr BC - Protagonist (Damon Jee remix) - Logical Dada & Mokic - Eat Me (Damon Jee remix) - Play Pal Damon Jee - Summer No Summer ep (Hardway Bros and Il Est Vilaine remixes) - Sprechen Sebastien Tex - 1982 (Damon Jee remix) - The Exquisite Pain Squarewave - Dancing Droids (Damon Jee remix) - Melomana Two Mamarrachos - Teach Me (Damon Jee remix) - Nein Tronik Youth - Bell common Tunnel (Damon Jee remix) - Nein Damon Jee - Empire of Sun ep (Moscoman remix) - Days of Being Wild NOZZ NOZZ - Clock - Play Pal Motel 77 - Dirty Dancer (NOZZ remix) - La Dame Noir Kike am Radar - Run (Damon Jee remix) - Dogs & Vultures NOZZ - Misfits (Emperor Machine and Autarkic remixes) - Roam Skelesys - The Path (NOZZ remix) Play Pal NOZZ - Lost Memories ep - Rotten City HOLOGRAPHIC PLANES (Damon Jee & Alvaro Cabana) Holographic Planes - Chapter One ep (Jennifer Cardini remix) - Critical Monday Vox Low - Now We are Ready to Spend (Holographic Planes remix) - Rotten City Holographic Planes - Drums Across Death - Ombra International Dos Attack - Masa Madre (Holographic Planes remix) - Rotten City
