Jaye Ward has been broad mindedly programming psychedelic dance floors and back rooms since the ’80s. Through involvement in 80’s sound systems and random raves as well as classic nights out like GOLDEN in stoke, WANG and a mid 90’s monthly residency at the much missed END club in London. Her previous iteration was as a record shop counter monkey and archetypal “Berwick Street bearded disco troll” she was involved in record shops, label running and distribution and export all throughout the 90’s.
Jaye has shared controls with and organised events with the great and the good of London’s nightlife elite over the decades as well as playing in the US and Europe.She’s collected, sold and collected again, more records than she can remember.
Currently Jaye is trying to navigate between many disparate genres and scenes and can be found playing disco and sun kissed balearics one night and the next super deep electronics and chug. She is a resident at the DALSTON SUPERSTORE and the CHILL OUT controller for the legendary WORLD UNKNOWN parties and providing support to the DJ GOD that is Harve.
