There are few artists carving out a legacy for themselves like Dax J is right now. The British DJ and producer from London has gone from pirate radio to magazine covers; from the backroom parties to headlining raves at every major techno institution the world over, all whilst staying true to the underground with an individual style all of his own. His technical skill, pure selection as a DJ and attention to high-end sound production has placed him at the forefront of a global scene, and established him as a singular presence within modern dance music.
Recent accolades for his unswerving devotion have included placements in the top 100 DJs polls published by Resident Advisor, DJ Mag and Groove Magazine. Over the years, he’s also received nominations as Best Techno DJ, Best Breakthrough DJ and Best British DJ from Mixmag, DJ Mag and the DJ Awards. He's renowned for performing mammoth closings at monumental parties including two 10-hour marathon sets at the world’s most notorious techno clubs, Berghain and Bassiani.
Also known as a prolific producer and successful record label boss, his trademark sound remains in constant rotation among the most respected DJs in dance music. It’s a style that has evolved over many years, but which was first fully recognised on his highly acclaimed 2015 album, "Shades of Black". Upon its initial release on his own Monnom Black label, Mixmag named it "Album of the Month", Hardwax described it as “brilliantly banging” and it also took the coveted No.1 spot on Juno Records. 2018 saw Dax release his multi-faceted second solo album “Offending Public Morality”. The record won support across the board, including that of BBC Radio 1 who picked it as their “Biggest Record of the Week”. By the end of 2018, “Offending Public Morality” also featured in the “Top 50 Albums of the Year” lists for DJ Mag, Tsugi and Apocalypse Mag. Two more events that crowned a year of great success were his enrolment into the BBC hall of fame with the release of his debut Radio 1 Essential Mix, and Be.At.TV’s choice of his 4-hour closing set at NeoPop Festival for their “Best DJ set of the year”. In 2021 Dax released his third studio album “Utopian Surrealism”, it was picked by Groove Magazine as their “top 5 albums of the year” with the track "Simulated Reality" being featured at the Beijing Contemporary Art Expo 2021.
The following year 2022 saw Dax release his fourth album, a response to the war in Ukraine. Residents Advisor described the album as a “highlight showing of Dax’s range” as an artist. 2024 Dax released a new album entitled “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength” to critical acclaim, the album referenced Orwell with Juno describing it as “Basic Channel on steriods,” the initial pressing sold out in it’s 1st week of release.
