General Release 17/08/2010
The full impact of Journey’s entrance onto Psy’s centre stage will not be known for quite a while yet but it is fair to say it will be significant, with an ever-expanding catalogue of contributions sure to ensure as much. Thus the title of his new digital EP, The Ripple Effect Part 1, is a fair encapsulation of his impact to date. For not only is Journey a musician of substance but so is the label he represents a force of nature. Free Spirit Records has not been around long but boy its influences are forever being felt farther and wider.
Enough though of the big picture, let us focus on the sound(s) of now. Just what has Journey plated up for your aural approval this time? Three booming tunes of sonic sumptuous blasting out over the sonic spectrum, grabbing and shaking you to core of your transcendental being, is just one description that could be applied. But that is only my own humble opinion, I suggest that you too tuck in, swirl and savour, then devour and see what you can sprout from the seeds of your satisfied soul. And if you are lucky there may be seconds. Watch this space!

:: JOURNEY ::
Journey is a solo project of, Milan born but now London based Jay M. Jay forged his earliest psychedelic-rock influences playing guitar in local bars in Milan. His romance with the decks beginning in the late 80's whilst working for a local radio station where he was given the opportunity to spin his first record. This love firmly in place the move to London followed in 1998. Soon thereafter he started djing professionally as Jay OM and in 2003 he studied Sound Engineering and Music Technology and began a solo production project under the name Journey and another collaborative project called Star~Trip. In 2009 he started a progressive project call Omsphere. He has been rocking the crowds at many of the biggest venues in London as well as outdoor parties and festivals in the UK, Europe, Brazil and South Africa including Universo Paralello, Fora do Tempo, Life Celebration Festival, Boom Festival, Aurora Festival, Sonica Festival, Vortex and Boomerang.
In 2004, Jay conceived the vision of a network of like-minded artists in the psy-trance and ambient genres, all working to promote themselves and each other under one banner. Thus the Free-Spirit label was born... originally intended to focus on artist management, the label's skyrocketing success combined with the enthusiasm of Jay, the artists, and fans enabled Free-Spirit to outgrow its horizons.
Following several successful compilation releases, Journey's solo album, The Man who Sold the Time was released on Free-Spirit Records in January 2009 and he is currently working on his second album.
Today, Jay's reputation as an active, involved, and hard working individual in the global trance circuit precedes him. His commitment and enthusiasm for trance music has left an indelible impression on the world scene already, and Jay's future has never looked brighter, from his burgeoningly successful record label to his organized events in the UK to his upcoming solo release. Jay works tirelessly at his art and trade and the music he brings to the masses exemplifies the fruits of his labour and energy.
