Not only is Jason Nevins one of the crowned kings of the remix & production game- he is one of the early pioneers of the DanceRock sound. Just listen to his mixes of Duran Duran, Rob Thomas, Kelly Clarkson, Amber, N.E.R.D. or Anastacia.
If you listen to any sort of dance or pop music then its a sure bet you have heard of some of Jason's productions. A talented producer and remixer, Jasons name became ubiquitous with the release of the now classic multi-platinum track: Jason Nevins vs. RUN-DMC "Its Like That"
Jason picked up on dance music back in the day when he heard dj mixed tapes circulating around. While attending college (originally a graphic design major), Jason eventually changed his major to Telecommunication and embarked in the exciting field of television and radio as well as landing a slot on a major market radio station. There, Jason played a diverse mix of underground New York house and more mainstream dance on the radio as well as in the clubs. After graduating, Jason jumped right into the world of music production, initially traveling on the underground, making cut & paste tracks for a wealth of dance labels. Over time, Jasons musical passion and knocking down the doors business tactics gave him the edge that he needed to gradually move to the next level.
Though remixes initially never really paid much financially, Jason enjoyed doing them and maintained a habit of taking tracks that he liked and working them into something different, then presenting them to different labels as new products. A slightly backwards procedure to some, but one that firmly underlines his commitment to music. As his commercial success continued, he began to receive commissions to remix the likes of Lil Kim, Janet Jackson, Missy Elliot and Madonna, but in 1998 his unorthodox approach to mixing other peoples tunes finally paid off when his own creation of "Its Like That" combining hip hop legends- RUN-DMCs elements of thier "Its Like That" with his own signature sound was released.
The massive tune that started off on 50 white label copies sent out by Profile Records- went on to sell close to a staggering 5 MILLION copies, hitting number ONE in over 30 countries and making Jason technically the biggest dance star America has ever had. Everyone from Ricky Martin and Robbie Williams to Prince, Britney and even Courtney Love were soon receiving his "Midas touch". 'Its Like That' blew my mind as well as many other peoples says Jason I started in the underground and moved extremely fast into the mainstream- and that type of stardom can shake anybody up pretty good... it also puts a huge amount of pressure on you to come up with the next hit.
For the past 4 years, Ive been doing all rock/dance and rock/hip hop fusions . I did a track called "Git Money" which features the The Young Gunz and legendary rocker Billy Squier. Jason says. Since I've been working on this fusion rock sound - it's doing really well for me. Because of incorporating rock elements into dance and hip hop- Im getting calls for artists like Duran Duran, Anastacia and Kelly Clarkson who want me to use my unique mixture of different styles into their songs. I worked with Duran Duran on "(Reach Up For The) Sunrise" for their new Sony album and it did extremely well all over the World. They even used elements of my production in their live shows. I remixed 2 other songs from that album and they were kind enough to work with me on Alive", a new Jason Nevins track featuring Duran Duran.
"I have currently been working on rock stuff as well as hip hop and building an arsenal of new songs. Im exploring a new side of production and writing and its getting a huge response." "Dance music has been very good to me but its time I spread my wings a bit more and venture more into new territories." Be on the look out for the new JN productions & songs !
Keans Changed E.P. Feedback!!!! MUM019 - Tempered DJs - Kean's Changed EP Another hectic month behind us, following on from ADE and with the release of the fantastic Rulers Of The Deep album 'Untitled Secret' on Digital, CD and the release of the classic ROTD 'Last Surivor' on 12" Vinyl...
But we're not slowing down!
In fact we're turning up the heat for the winter months ahead starting right now, with the long awaited debut ep on MUM from Tempered DJ's. We've seen some top notch collaborations and blinding remixes from Tempered this year. Their recent remix of H2 'The Bus To Mexico City' has picked up huge support including from Eddie Haliwell and their amazing re-work of Age Of Love has started a bit of a revival being hammered by everyone since the summer from Lucien Foort to Carl Cox who has been playing this at Space, Ibiza as well as on his radio show..
So here it is - entitled 'Kean's Changed' the EP delivers in true Tempered style - We believe some of their finest work to date!
