He developed an interest in Trance and Hard Dance when he was 19. After a holiday in Ibiza, he became inspired to "have a go" at DJing, and that interest developed further.

Jay Middleton (VaderMonkey) is an energetic and interactive performer. He creates a musical journey in such a way, so that listeners become part of that musical adventure. Regardless of the crowd he plays to. As times have changed his taste's and sounds have also. In his informative years playing out, he played Chunky Hard House and Hard Trance.

His ambition has always been to be involved in music, whatever the capacity, whether it be as a DJ, Studio Artist or a Label Manager (Ultratech Dance Music UK).
