Sesh With Kesh 024 - Jay Lewis by Kesh Loi published on 2022-03-10T21:13:22Z We are back with March's edition and Loft Sessions resident Jay Lewis. This mix features a blend of all the flavours Jay's been digging old & new. I've got a tasty little Q&A which can also be read below ⬇️ Who are you? My name is Jay Lewis, an Aerospace Engineer from Stourbridge. My passions are music, work, football and fitness. Who inspires you? One of my biggest inspirations will be a surprise for most, but Ernest is at the top of my list. Easily one of the best, if not best DJ I have seen live, and yet most probably haven’t heard of him! Others are St. Germain, PINDER, Sweely & Shonky. St Germain combines the fundamentals of house and Jazz perfectly, two genres that I adore. I love that Nathan has his PINDER alias to venture into another genre, both genres are ones I love! Sweely may as-well drop on a purple wizards gown when playing because the guys ability to play live is unreal, the wizard. And as for Shonky, someone needs to show that fella the naughty step because his sets are just damn RUDE. What is your sound? Over the last year since parties returned in July, I have really managed to hone in on my sound. Minimal/Romin is my main genre, but I just can’t help buying UKG & certain house records. I feel very fortunate that I have the ability and collection to sway through these genres when I want at home. It also gives me the scope to also vary my set when playing live. When did you start your journey? 2016 I got my first serato powered plug-in decks. The reason being was I constantly listened to House/Tech House at the time, so I thought why not play? About a year later I invested in a XDJ-RX & Rokit 5’s, as I knew I wanted to start playing live music. From there, over a few years I started to buy turntables and a few records. The addiction became real and now I have around 550 records. Where are you located and where do you wanna go? I am local to Birmingham. This is where I have played the majority of my bookings. I would love to be able to establish myself in the scene, but I know there is some great talent out there so I know it is neigh impossible to ‘make-it’, but I happy with whatever happens with my music. Why is music important to you? Most people people work hard, whether that be part-time or full-time and music is an escapism from normal life, especially on the dance floor. This also applies to me. And that is just listening to music. DJing live is a mad feeling, being able to share some really under-heard records and to see the reaction from the crowd is satisfying. If I can show a room full of people at least one record they didn’t know they wanted to hear, then I am satisfied with my performance.
