Jean Claude Ades Biographie

Jean Claude Ades is a global player, born and raised in Italy, residing in
Munich, and a regular in Ibiza. Even though he started as a pianist, at
heart he is a producer, DJ, remixer and songwriter. After learning the
piano from scratch, he went the way of the synthesizer, keyboards and
computers, all the way to become a producer. For the last 10 years the 32-
year old has been influencing the international Dance Scene with his
remixes, productions and with his highly energetic DJ sets. His early
productions, e.g., "Shake That Ass", "The Colour Of My Style", "Everything
I Do", and others, opened the door for him to various major companies.

Down to the present day, enthusiasts of house music around the world will
remember the melody of his 2003 hit record "I Begin To Wonder" featuring
Dannii Minogue which reached number #1 in the sales charts in Italy, #2 in
the UK, #3 in France, #2 in Australia and went top ten in several other
countries. His remix of "Nightcrawlers - Push The Feeling On" made it on to
the #1 spot of the Billboard Radio Dance Charts in the USA.

In 2005 Jean Claude Ades took the next logical step forward, he started his
own label "Swings Records", after getting back his independence, he created
the right basis for his own productions. Being his own A&R is of utmost
importance to him, since for him bending the "Jean Claude Ades Sound" for
commercial reasons is beyond all question. Under these unrestricted
circumstances, Jean Claude made a direct hit with the first release on
Swings. His track "Someday", featuring vocals by Niki Haris (formerly
"Snap" and background vocalist for Madonna), made it onto the playlists of
several renown global players like .........and became a club anthem and
fast-selling record after a very short period of time. Shortly after, his
remix of the US number 1 hit "Pussycat Dolls feat. Busta Rhymes - Don't
Cha" attracted massive attention and skyrocketed to the #2 position of the
Dance Charts in Germany. Almost simultaneously, his remix of the Electro
hit of the year 2005 "Coburn - We Interrupt This Program" was released on
"Swings Records" followed by another smasher "Fly Away" ft. Rufus Martin
which was immediately picked by Ministry of Sound and became a massive hit
in Asia & Australia.

His production and DJ style can best be described in the context of his
music philosophy: "Music must sound global, like a mix from 30 different
countries, but still harmonic". This maxim manifests in his intoxicating dj-
sets, where classic House beats meet contemporary electronic elements. Well
tried and renowned sounds with a little twist on Pioneer CDJ 1000 turn into
something progressive and absolutely new - bassful electro fuses with
uplifting House, vocals and pumping bass drums until the crowd is caught in
a breathtaking break-down, waiting for the next drumbeat that will make
them freak and go bananas. These are the moments Jean Claude loves playing
for. Gigs at the best clubs and festivals around the world e.g. Cocoon, M1,
Loveparade, Heineken Beach Festivals Taiwan and HongKong, Zima, Osen, Leto,
Fabrique Moscow, Retro Jakarta, Double Six Bali (Indonesia), MTV Battle of
the DJ´s, Designerama and the MTV Parties in the Tunesian Dessert. Sirena,
Kiwi, Housegarden.. (Brazil)

Jean Claude was also the exclusive DJ at the Giorgio Armani fashion show in
Berlin. as well as the Loveparade in Berlin proof that he is in great
demand and a truly international DJ.

In the near future the turmoil around the sympathetic DJ promises not to
cease, his debut artist album is scheduled for 2007, it will feature
several surprises on his Label Swings Rec. and of course the best versions
of his long list of already released club hits. In 2006 he did the Kontor
Top Of The Clubs Vol. 30 Compilation and the Ministry Of Sound Clubbers
Guide To Ibiza 2006. He just finished mixing the Housemusic.de Chapter IV
Compilation and will be playing the upcoming Housemusic.de Tour in major
cities in Europe like St. Petersburg, Hamburg, Cologne etc.
