Title: In My Blood
Label: Bandroom Records
SHAREM JEY still one of a few DJs/producers out there who continue to burn the light bright and keep striving to push sound forward, onward and upward and find a way to take it and relate it to the masses’ and taking it to the masses is one thing Cologne’s Sharam Jey does best.
After his early beginnings in a rock band, Sharam found himself start to get sucked into Germany’s house & techno scene. It was from this point on that Jey knew there was only one direction for him and picked up the headphones and never looked back. Since then Sharam rose high and went to the top of his class, keeping things fresh and exciting, refusing to relent to the genre-class threatening to box him in one stifling category. To his remixing credit over the years, his reworking of Café del Mar’s track ‘Energy 52’ was voted BEST DANCE TRACK OF ALL TIME and everyone from Moby to Mylo to Faithless and Faith No More have sought his unrivalled ear to take their tracks to the dancefloor.
But it’s his original material that really gets his heart racing and with his forthcoming second artist album ‘In My Blood’, he’s really taken things to the next level. Not happy to settle on mediocre, he’s worked hard and pushed things to unexpected heights, working with a host of amazing collaborators that really vary the sounds of the record and take you by surprise. The new album sees Jey team up with his first of three breath-stealing collaborations with Australia’s Nik Valentino (of Lost Valentinos) for the album’s title track, ‘In My Blood’. However it’s his ongoing collaborations with Nik Valentino that really steal our hearts back to the dancefloor, as they set temperatures soaring and pulses racing. ‘In My Blood’ shows Sharam in his very best form yet, even the levels you’d come to expect from him until now have been thrown off the Richter as he gets set to take us by the hand and lead us through 2010 with that ultimate ease only he’s capable of.
