DJ Jason Guy Jason first starting DJing in 1989 after becoming captivated by the Hi-Energy music scene many of the UK's gay clubs were championing in the late 1980s. After the prerequisite bedroom practicing and hours spent tracking down German and Italian vinyl imports, Jason earned himself his first break covering for the holiday of the resident DJ at the now defunct Rockies in Sheffield. Over the next few years, he secured residencies at many of the North's largest gay clubs in the late 80s and early 90s, including Rockies and The Mineshaft in Manchester, Rockies & Breakers in Sheffield and Rockshots in Leeds. As Jason's musical taste moved from Hi-Energy to house (greatly influenced by the Hacienda) he secured further residencies at Curzons in Derby and Mr Bs in Bradford. He was then asked to become the main resident for the newly opening Cruz101 in Manchester, where he stayed for the first year. After traveling and DJing every weekend for 5 years, he wanted to devote more time to his personal life and retired from DJing. 12 years later and with CDs becoming the medium of choice over vinyl for DJs, Jason was bought a pair of CD decks for his birthday. Mixing is like riding a bike and within a few months, he was playing his style of funky, driving house for Fibre in Leeds. He�s since been lucky enough to play regularly for Federation around the UK at major venues including the Manchester Apollo, Flamingos in Blackpool, Area in London and Mission in Leeds. Since coming back to the DJ scene he has played at a number of big scale events, including Gaydar Radio's Main Stage at Manchester Pride 2008 to a crows 1000s strong, Queer Kandi (in conjunction with Hed Kandi) and the massive Love Leeds events.
