Berlin-based, London born DJ fka.m4a (Jay Jackson) has become a stalwart of underground music with a heady blend of Italo Disco, high NRG and leftfield techno. With several Boiler Room appearances under his belt - clocking up over half a million streams combined - plus shows everywhere from Timewarp to Awakenings, features in Mixmag and Electronic Beats, plus Peggy Gou in his corner as a mentor, his stock is firmly on the rise.

Moving to Berlin in 2019, the pandemic quickly put a stop to his burgeoning DJ career before a switch to recording streams from his apartment during covid saw his profile blow up, leading to signing with an agency and bagging his first Panorama Bar set when lockdown lifted. “Itʼs important for me to make music that works in the club,ˮ he says. ‘But most importantly, itʼs about making something that comes straight from the heart. I think Iʼve achieved that on my first EP and I canʼt wait for people to connect with it.ˮ

With an event series in the pipeline and a summer stacked with festival shows from Melt to Terminal V, fka.m4a (Jay Jackson) has firmly cemented himself as one of the leading, up-and-coming artists in the underground space.
