Hi!, I'm J Smyls, a music producer from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I'm a producer and live DJ of electronic music. Most of my time is spent either behind a computer making music or at school in Rotterdam where I study Music Production, or Creative Production as they like to call it. My style is very diverse but I do like to use lots of musical elements, so a lot of my tracks have a progressive feel to them.

My music is influenced by loads of different styles. A lot of it is made for the dancefloor but I also experiment with combining different styles. Great heros are guys like Deadmau5, Gui Boratto, Trentemoller, Burial and Egbert. Have a listen!
I was part of the Final 5 for the producers competition Vinylized with my track "At the end of the tunnel". It was a great experience, we had our tracks played on Fresh FM and Radio Decibel.
I didn't win the first price (your track in Vinyl) but did get some great comments from the jury:
Terry Toner:
"Technisch hoogstaande productie waarin veel gebeurt met veel lagen en effecten"
Sasja Kooistra (De Volkskrant):
Track blijft continu spannend genoeg om nieuwsgierig te blijven naar het verdere verloop
Laidback Luke:
Creatief en prikkelend en ik vind de combinatie tussen het organische en het elektronische hierin erg verfrissend
