VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA– Known for his progressive house rhythms and versatile turntablism, underground Canadian DJ and producer DJ JASPA has released his debut CD, A Long Time Coming. The artist took a brief pause from his previously busy club and party schedule, which included such notables as LA hot spot the Standard and the wrap party for Cirque du Soleil’s Varekai, to work on his album. The full-length CD is self-produced, being released through disBEAT Entertainment, and will be for sale on DJ JASPA’s website,
www.djjaspa.com. A Long Time Coming blends genre and sound: ambient, trance-infused tracks are juxtaposed against hip hop,
rock, and progressive house. DJ JASPA also utilizes melodic, feminine, sometimes breathy vocals, such as those of French-speaking chanteuse Solenne Posson, to add live elements to many of the tracks.
Additionally, there are pulsing guitar riffs and DJ JASPA’s own rap vocals on one track, “Wonderful World.” For many fans, this is a nostalgic treat looking back to the DJ’s days prior to progressive house, when he was a hip hop artist with the well-known Canadian group Plaiskool.
With A Long Time Coming, the DJ/producer has created a moving eclecticism, as JASPA describes it, “music that speaks to your soul and gets into your bones.”
A Long Time Coming can also be found on Amazon.com, at i-Tunes, and in other ...online stores.
