Our Play Irish Artist of the Week with IASCA is Dublin producer Jay Pryor and his new tune "Make Luv".
Jay Pryor is the young DJ and producer from Dublin who has fast made a name for himself on the international stage with his high-octane DJ sets and breezy, catchy crossover pop dance releases. First brought to the world’s attention after co-producing Louis Tomlinson and Steve Aoki’s’ biggest release ‘Just Hold On’.
He now releases his brand-new EP, ‘Finding Our Way’, a unique partnership and joint venture that brings together for the first time, artist, influencer and label. Respected imprint Positiva Records joins forces with Selected, the cutting-edge YouTube channel, digital first label and community, and of course Jay Pryor himself.
Having always been influenced by classic records, Jay has constantly drawn inspiration in many of his previous releases. Now he is invited to rework one of the best-known moments from Positiva’s illustrious 25-year history. The track in question is Room 5’s ‘Make Luv’, a previous UK No. 1 sampling the unmistakable Oliver Cheatham’s ‘Get Down Saturday Night’. On his rework, Jay delivers his own spin with a contemporary makeover, priming it for today’s dancefloors.
2018 has been a year to remember for Jay, with his pop debut ‘Rich Kid$’ instantly added to key influential streaming playlists, taking Jay's catalogue past the 25 million milestone on Spotify alone. Not stopping there, he went on to remix Anne Marie’s smash release ‘2002’ to critical acclaim.
