The Mixes
12-2008- Techno Mix - Cabin Fever

This is my first dj mix in over a year, a techno and tech-house mix up recorded on 2 Technics turntables and a CDJ during the big snow storm here in Portland. This one features some pretty absurd funky tech, and some wacky sounds and textures and a lot of dance friendly beats. I really like it. I hope you will too! Click and save right here.

6-2007-Another Deep Techno/Tech House Mix- BadMachines

BadMachines is a funky ass mix of tech-house and minimal tech. Featuring tracks by Gui Boratto, Alexi Delano, Stephan Bozdin, Mark Romboy, Pascal feos, John Tejada, and Par Grindvik and more. 24 tracks, 74 minutes. It's not as bangin' as last months "Impact". It's a true "sub-sensory" experience. Check it! Right clicking and save right here

5 -2007- My latest bangin' techno mix- "Impact"

"Impact" is a 74 minute mix of filthy techno and electro influenced beats. Recorded may 2007 using 3 turntables and a CDj which allowed me to throw in a few of my own tracks. Enjoy!

12-05-06- Deep Techno/Tech House Mix - "Bleep You"

“Bleep You” features some of my favorite deep techno, bleepy tech-house and glitchy electro-house. This is not my typical "dance till you drop" techno set; It's for your mind, as well as your body. 68 minutes, 196k. 22 tracks. Enjoy!!! 196k Mp3

Now available, 2001 & 2003 mixes- Bass Addiction & Pleasure Shock

11-27-2006- You can now download MP3 versions of my 2001 dj mix "Bass Addiction" and my 2003 dj mix "Pleasure Shock". These mixes contain many of my favorite bangin' techno tunes blended in the signature 3 table style. If you haven't heard these before get em!

8-2006- Magnitude- Hard funky fist pumpin' techno to make you scream!

Magnitude (aka Straight Jak'n it)- If you are in to hard fast tribal techno this is my take. 73 minutes, 30 tracks, mixed on 3 decks. No fluffy stuff, just straight up funky drums and riddims. Check It!!!!

SUBSENSORY 1- My most popular mix ever! Techno mixed on 3 decks

Subsensory Mix #1 features some of the past few years best body rockin’ Techno, Electro, and Tech-House blended seamlessly on three decks. This 79 minute 28 track mix features tracks by artists both world renowned and relatively unknown. Have a listen!

JAK's Bio-

Dj Jak has been a key player in the Northwest United States’ electronic music scene for over 12 years. During his tenure he has earned a reputation as the most talented and technical mixer and most energetic techno & tech-house performer in the region. Jak’s unique sound breaks through genre boundaries by uniting Techno beats with Funk, Minimalisim, Electro, Disco, House, Tribal, Nu-Wave and more. His obsessive attention to detailed mixing and constant acquisition of new and varied music makes every Jak set a worthwhile listen.

Jak first gained notoriety during Portland Oregon’s mid-ninety's rave boom with his unique three-turntable funky techno and house sets and his energetic performances. While most DJs were playing 15 to 18 songs during a 90-minute set, Jak was known for dropping as many as 40 without sacrificing his emphasis on quality mixes and original song selection.

Within three years of his first gigs Jak was headlining in Seattle, Sacramento, Eugene and Las Vegas for crowds ranging from the hundreds to the thousands. Highlights of his dj career include his 2 x 6 sets with Japan’s Dj Kuma at Las Vegas’s biggest 2000 New Years and 2002 Halloween raves, a 2007 headliner slot at one of Seattle’s most popular annual events “Down The Rabbit Hole”, top billing at the biggest after hours event ever held in Portland, “Spiritualize”, a 2 x 4 set with NW techno legend George Holland, and recently the opportunity to play at Brian Zentz's monthly underground techno night R9. He has also recently performed at clubs across the central coastal region of Chile.

Jak is currently spending a year in Viña Del Mar on the beautiful central coast of Chile. He continues honing his production skills, working on studio collaborations with local and International artists, and Djing frequently. Recent sets at the renouned Cafe Journal, at Viña's Casa Italia and at clubs such as Scratch and Cocodrillo have quickly earned him respect in the local scene. Recent releases on SubSensory Recordings and Portland's Akashik records have received rave reviews and begun to introduce Jak's music to a wider audience. Look for these releases at digital retailers such as JunoDownload and DanceRecords.com.
