Jason Konturas
MS Username: “Jay Fury”
His Bio:
Jason Konturas (Jay Fury) is often a name that comes to mind when you are talking about true pioneers of the progressive music scene in the New England. Since starting his actual DJ career in 1996 at the age of 19, he has spent countless hours maturing into the DJ/Producer he is today. His Seamless mixing abilities got him recognized early, and landed him his first residencies in popular local nightclubs. After some time, Jay started DJing at an AfterHours club, and quickly became the resident DJ. It was at this time that Jay widened his influences, and developed the unmatchable programming skills and his amazing ability to move a crowd- which he is still known for. Jay was voted “RI’s Best AfterHours DJ” in 2000, and quickly became a local legend throughout Hartford, CT and Providence, RI. Jay held that residency for 2 and a half years until the club finally shut down in 2003. Over the next few years things were ok, but the whole club scene was struggling to hang on due to strict State Laws, and an overall crackdown on the clubs (particularly house music venues). The whole progressive movement seemed to go back underground, and gigs became hard to come by. Refusing to conform to what club owners wanted to hear, Jay always kept true to his sound and influences including John digweed, Moshic, Yunus Guvenen and Gab oliver. Jay Still appears now and then as a guest DJ in clubs and Parties throughout the Northeast, US. Even though Jay is still actively putting out Mix CD’s, he is starting to concentrate on production. Currently in the Studio working on a new CD, Jay is trying to fine tune his Dark and Heavy Sound. The style of music Jay plays would be classified as Dark Progressive House with a Tribal Influence. Reigning from Rhode Island (USA), Jay fury hopes that 2009 will bring some global exposure to his already extensive resume.
