On this weeks episode of the Space Cowboys RIPEcast, we are featuring a special guest mix from house music icon Jay Vegas. Here is a bit more about the man, myth, and legend.

There's not many in today's scene whose music you can instantly recognize, but Jay Vegas has quickly become one of them, having developed his own unique twisted disco sound.

2010 saw the beginning of Jay's solo venture after moving on from previous alias Groove Invaderz. Since conception his funky style has been well received, gaining support from some of the industry's biggest names including; Erick Morillo, Mousse T, Norman Cook, Junior Vasquez, Danny Rampling and Grant Nelson. Grant Nelson in particular has helped push his sound by regularly featuring Jay's tracks on his Housecall Radio Show.

In 2011 Jay joined San Francisco based heavyweight Jackin House label Guesthouse - settling in amongst a roster of hugely talented artists such as DJ Sneak, Gramophonedzie, Sonny Fodera, Gene Farris, DJ Dan and DJ Mes.

As well as holding down a busy DJ schedule, Jay also runs his own imprint Hot Stuff Records. It's already become a firm favourite with DJ's, having released a string of Traxsource #1's with his own tracks: Say To Ya, Luv Drug & Body & Soul.

Jay is no stranger to the music scene,he began his career in the early 90's alongside other local producers K-Klass and King Unique. Working under different aliases Jay remixed tracks for many successful pop stars like Holly Johnson (Frankie Goes To Hollywood) & East 17. His remix of East 17 - Hey Child (made with Matthew Roberts)went on to became a hit in Ibiza and Pete Tong's "Essential New Tune" as did his remix of Kaya - My God is Real which came out on Erick Morrilo's world famous label Subliminal. Jay's music has been released on all the recognized leading CD compilations: Ministry of Sound, Cream Anthems and Hed Kandi.

Jay's musical taste knows no boundaries and he has never been restricted by genre - his "If it's good, I'll play it" mentality has took him around the world playing at some of the best clubs, from Ibiza to as far as Australia.
