JEZ PEREIRA

To say that the teenaged Jez Pereira was lucky enough to be propelled to the upper echelons of the Mumbai music scene would be a lie. It wasn’t luck. It was down to talent, determination and his unique signature freestyle sound all wrapped up in one of the nicest, most modest and insightful guys you’ll ever meet. After firmly making his presence known at home Jez turned his gaze towards global success. His journey began with a move to London in 2006 where his skills, enthusiasm and ability to source an endless supply of ear-gasmic dance floor smash hits ensured his instant success and a formidable reputation to suit. This led to a long list of main room appearances such as the Paul van Dyke 2008 album launch party, X-Press 2 at Bedrock and regular bookings for The Gallery at Ministry of Sound and with his profile growing in the UK it wasn’t long before the rest of the world came knocking... Jez is now doing insane bookings around the globe that most djs couldn’t even comprehend, such as Gumball Rally after parties, Pacha67 yacht parties, a residency at the Armani Prive Club in Dubai for Fashion overdose, Fashion TV’s anniversary party in Cannes during the Film Festival, Red Bull product launch parties in Amsterdam & Tokyo, headlining the Barbados Music Festival as well as Burning Man! Jez’s has performed with some of the most important names in a wide range of industries and he’s been seen djing along side and back to back with the likes of Will I Am at The Arts Club, Just Be (Bushwacka) at Radio Rooftop NYE, Idris Elba at The Box, Erick Morillo at the TAO nightclub in Las Vegas and he was even caught performing alongside 4 times Grammy nominated legend, Steve “Silk” Hurley and DJ Skip. By now Jez is used to looking up at his crowd and seeing the likes of F1 driver Jensen Button or HRH Harry up in the club! All of this success has gained him mass global recognition and praise including a nomination for the “best dj” category at the prestigious London Club & Bar Awards 2014. Despite touring around the world Jez has still been able to find the time to get in the studio and has firmed up a solid relationship with the mighty S&S; Records, Chicago. They asked him to remix Steve “Silk” Hurley’s global No1 smash hit, Jack Your Body, which Jez co- wrote witch Elijah Collins. As if this wasn’t enough, they even asked him to remix the late and very very great Frankie Knuckles signature track, Baby Wants To Ride! Definitely two of Jez’s biggest honor
