In todays world it can be hard to distinguish real talent among the

sea of rising stars. Head and shoulders above the competition sits

Jason Leva (aka Just Jason). Utilizing diverse flavor and smooth

stylings, Leva has the ability to bring any dancefloor to a frenzy.

Whether you have seen him live or heard on of his masterful mix cd's,

one listen leaves you begging for more. There is no doubt of an

extremely bright future for this extraordinary DJ and producer.


Jason was born in Newark, New Jersey; quite a contrast to the

sun-drenched landscape he has called home for over 20years. He has

witnessed the house music scene grow from its infancy. From his

early teenage years, Jason and friends would hit the local clubs to

listen to fresh new music and dance the night away. With the

decrease in the Florida house music scene in the mid to late 90's,

Jason found himself in the studio for the first time at age 16.


Working together with his mentor, Atmosphere, Jason quickly developed
a unique passion for creating music. Studio time enveloped him as he

polished his technique and skills as a producer. Incorporating live

instrumentation with electronic rhythms is a trademark of his

original music. Jason has a wide range of influences including Led

Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Kraftwork, Orbital, Mark Farina, Derrick

Carter, MJ Cole, and Jazzanova. Early credits include produciton on

Eight Dimensions first release"Atmosphere", Phatt Trax single,

''She's in Light", as well as productions credits on USA Records single, "Blow your Mind".


At age 17, Jason stepped behind the turntables for the first time. A

bedroom and house party DJ at first, he quickly gained the reputation

of a dancefloor mover. He swiftly make the jump to club DJ and has

been on a nonstop schedule since. Having had residencies at

Orlando's best house clubs such as Firestone, AKA Luonge,Crooked

Bayou, The Peacock Room, Alphabar, The Bank,The Social,Sky 60, Ybor's

Martini Bar,Thee Grotto,Eli's and O2 Elements. Jasons's list of experience is extensive.


A staple in the US scene, Jason has been an integral part of

Florida's recent house music movement. In a town that relies mostly

on breakbeat and radio hip-hop, he has gone against the grain by

choosing to play a wide variety of Underground House music. Most of

his mixed sets are funky and deep floor movers. He also spins the

sexiest 2-step ever heard. There are no boundaries for this

spectacular DJ as he graces the Technics, spilling his soul onto the dancefloor.


More recent credits are "the Quirk Ep" on Blockhead Recordings, "the

Housebroken EP" on Uk label Huddtrax, as well as some bits on

Greenhouse Recordings. Jason appears as Soulpatch on "the Housekeeping

Ep" on Guesthouse Records, "Pressure" on Stupendous Recordings,and

"Dirty Funk" on Odds and Ends Music.

And most recently on Detour, Tango and Icon as Latenight Society.
