JUSTIN JAY house and disco DJ set in The Lab LA
Justin Jay in The Lab LA is a guarantee of good times and great selections, a set that doesn't take itself too seriously but is dead serious about the funk. This is the sound of a DJ having genuine fun, playing with house and disco like a kid in a sandbox. The vibe is upbeat and inclusive, all bright lights and bouncing shoulders. With an average BPM of 124 and a key focus on 12A and 3B, this tracklist is a bouncing journey through feel-good house music, expertly balancing low-end groove (0.53 avg) with vibrant mid-range melodies.
Jay's mixing is energetic and precise, keeping the energy high without sacrificing flow. His own track, 'You Give Me Butterflies', is a sunny, vocal-led moment that feels perfectly at home. The pick of Giangi Cappai's 'I need u now (Eight-seven mix)' is a deep house gem with a driving bassline, while Macromism's 'The Walk' adds a touch of techy momentum. Throwing in his Halloween edit of D4L's 'Laffy Taffy' is the kind of hilarious, genre-bending risk that only works when you have the crowd in your pocket.
The extended play of BAYKER & GHEIST's 'Howl' showcases his ability to let a melodic buildup breathe. He kicks off with the disco-tinged bounce of Madness Ba's 'Anywhere', builds to a peak with the raw jack of Breach's 'Jack', and wraps it all up with the absurd joy of that 'Laffy Taffy' edit as the closing track. It's a full tracklist that proves house music can be both smart and silly.
