There is no one quite like Jay Haze. He's a man with a heart of gold and an artist with a consistently left of centre take on electronic music. Under his own name and as Fuckpony, amongst other aliases, he has helped to redefine the contemporary sound of house and techno from the mid 00s. Haze was born in northeastern Pennsylvania, then moved to Philadelphia and later Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona before spending almost a decade south of the equator across South America. Haze has always done things his own way, with infinite different takes on house and techno on labels such as Cocoon, BPitch Control and Get Physical. He founded and continues to run his own record labels Contexterrior and Tuning Spork with Berkley Professor Bjoern Hartmann and the late Sean O'neal.
