You might know Jay Jackson as fka.m4a. Same person, new name. Jay grew up in North West London and has lived in Berlin since 2019. He started out as a pop DJ on the Soho and East London circuit, then saw Honey Dijon play in Berlin and changed course. You can still hear the pop DJ in how he plays: big hooks, vocals, and a set that goes somewhere instead of sitting at one speed all night. The sound is house at its most euphoric and a little sexy, with Italo and hi-NRG running through it. He’s played Panorama Bar, Time Warp and Sónar, and Peggy Gou regularly has him open for her. People have been known to cry on his dancefloors, in the good way. If you want homework, his five-hour all night long set from Amsterdam is on SoundCloud.
