About JKriv B2B DJ Bruce, plus Adeline Michele
JKriv is a man of many musical hats, whether as a producer, DJ, songwriter,
instrumentalist, or label-owner.
Having amassed a formidable SoundCloud following for his masterfully crafted disco
reworks, JKriv formed Deep&Disco Recordings in 2011 as a home for his own original
productions. The label soon grew to include a dazzling roster of artists and remixers
such as Moon Boots, Hot Toddy, Satin Jackets, Social Disco Club and more. JKriv
is also co-owner of the eminently respected label Razor-N-Tape, which has seen
releases by Late Nite Tuff Guy, Frank Booker, Ron Basejam, JKriv himself and many
others. Keeping up a dizzyingly prolific production schedule, JKriv's original
productions, reworks, and remixes have appeared on numerous labels such as Disco
Deviance, Editorial, Tigers On A Leash, Get Down Edits, Harmless, and his own
labels, showing his versatility in crafting both disco and house style productions.
His edits, reworks and remixes have found their way into the live sets of many luminary
DJs, such as Derrick Carter, Andrew Weatherall, Greg Wilson, Rahaan and many
more. The Idjut Boys remix of JKriv's instant-classic disco tune "Make It Hot" was
picked by Errol Alkan for his upcoming Fabric mix compilation. Lately J has been
focusing on releases between his two labels as well as a number of high-profile remixes
for Dimitri From Paris, DJ Rocca, Greg Wilson and more.
With a load of releases and remixes under his belt, the world has begun to take notice.
Recently tapped to be a resident DJ at the newly opened Sankeys NYC, he also plays
regularly at other high profile NYC venues like Output, Verboten, and Le Bain where
he has shared bills with such legendary acts as Chromeo, Dimitri From Paris, DJ
Sneak, Mark Farina, Joey Negro, and many more.
But in addition to his DJ and studio skills, JKriv is a multi-instrumentalist with a deep
musical background. Performing in bands since the age of 12, he studied jazz
throughout college, and is equally comfortable laying down some heavy bass, ripping
some Nile Rodgers-esque guitar rhythms, or banging out some chords on a keyboard or
synth. His performing career in the world of dance music began as a founding member
of the live-house band Tortured Soul, who he toured and recorded with for nearly a
decade. He also has toured with pop act Brazilian Girls and is currently the
bassist/guitarist for disco ensemble extraordinaire Escort. Naturally, Escort has also
recruited J for remix duties, and he is also working with the band on writing/producing
songs for their next album.
JKriv is known to bring a distinct musicality to everything he touches, and his latest
project JKriv & The Disco Machine is no exception. 'The High Fidelity Sound EP,'
a 6-track EP released in summer 2013 on File Under Disco, is a sprawling and
ambitious set of all-original disco tunes, showcasing JKriv's production, songwriting and
instrumental skills. The record runs the gamut of disco and funk sounds, from the
utterly cheeky to smooth and sultry, and employs the talents of a wonderful cast of vocalists, percussionists, string players and more, blurring the lines between the
electronic and organic to create a blissful listening and dancing experience.
2014 has already been a huge year for J with gigs around the US, Canada, Colombia
and Mexico and promises to be even more with a late summer Europe/ UK tour and a
continually relentless release schedule!
