Career

Pre-career

In the late 1990s, Jade bought himself a record player and started practicing at home to become a DJ and later started to produce his own music.[3] At the beginning of his production career, he uploaded his early tracks anonymously to an online column called "Music To Your Ears" where a drum and bass producer named SKC, took an interest in his work and helped Jade along his way with constructive comments and instructions.[4] In addition to the help from SKC, he has also spend a private studio session with Chris.SU which gave him another boost in producing his own music.[5][6][7]

First release

After his first release at Black Sun Empire Recordings, his career has started to take off and since then, 50 different tracks of his have been published by 15 different record labels and have been pressed on vinyl as well. It was through his early releases that Jade pioneered the emerging sound known as neurofunk.[8] In 2009, Jade released his debut album, Venom, on Citrus Recordings while his tracks like "No Cure" and the eponymous "Venom" featuring RymeTyme helped define the neurofunk genre.[9][10][11] In 2011, Jade established his own label named Eatbrain.[12][13][14]
