Phew, what a year!

What a year it's been! I thought it might be interesting to look back and see what went down
(Btw leave a comment and let me know where you’re from and how year went...I wanna know and hear from you!)

🎚Non-stop mixing and mastering music. Over 450 songs incl. full mixes, stem masters and stereo masters.
Full-time affair, clients varying from superstar DJs to hobbyists to major record labels.
RIAA award + Billboard nomination.
Ended the work year on a high note: another major mix (Warner/Atlantic).

🎛 My Patreon page kept growing, hitting all-time high member count (800+ as we speak). Been doing exclusive production and mixing content non-stop.
New series “Breakbeat Of The Month” has been a highlight.
Trust me, ain't slowing down! Will continue to create content for paid members.

🎧 Doing mix/production feedback/tuition on the side.


🎹 I managed to finish a 10-track album for Straight Up Breakbeat that I love dearly. It comes out in March 2025. Phew, I am so proud of it…watch out next year!


🎶 “Balcony Acid” EP came out on Metalheadz sister imprint, HeadzState…My 4th Headz affair.

🎶🎶 My “Stars” remix vinyl for absolute DNB legends Source Direct came out on Odysee.

🎶🎶🎶 Was honored to have a track “Piscean” on Laurent Garnier COD3 QR 016 vinyl compilation.

🎶🎶🎶🎶 I curated and released a DNB compilation “Breakbeat Brigade” by lesser heard artists on my own dear Lightless label. I’d love to do way more of this if I had more time.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 A jungle single, “Green Fields Forever”, came out nicely before end of year. Thanks ODJ Dizzy for believing in my music: you’ve been inspirational since mid-90s.

😎🎹 Involved in NDA hardware testing for various devices


I am extremely grateful for all the demand and the fact that I do all this 100% as my living, from my work chair at home.

Hasn’t come easy and has taken (and does take) years and mountains of work, but it’s so worth it.

I couldn’t have it any other way: a decade of doing all this full-time and official now.

Now, a little break to work on more music.

Thanks to everyone supporting me ✊🏻 ❤️

Phew, what a year! Phew, what a year!

Ray Dius

Thanks Jurgen! I appreciate you :)

Janne Hatula

Well, you've been inspirational for me, and i guess a lot of others. I love using your drumsamples, playing your tunes and watching your videos.

Jurgen

Yo Jess! Thanks! Would love to hear your music :)

Janne Hatula

Thanks dude! It's by Finnish brand, R-Collection. They have really good parkas and anoraks...hard-wearing! The 808 patch I have added myself.

Congrats on a great year! We were listening to "Green Fields Forever" last night and I knew it was yours before my husband even told me what he was playing! Great track! 🙌🏻 I had a really good year. Made a number of connections, shared my music with people who have helped me get it ready to release, and I added being a vocalist to my repertoire. I don't hate the sound of my own singing voice anymore. All in all, a fantastic year where my hard work is starting to become evident. Still not paying off, but hopefully soon! 🤞🏻
