An artist boasting an impressive release archive and globetrotting performance resume, Greek electronic stalwart CJ Jeff finally lands on Solardo’s Sola Records imprint with an electrifying peak-time cut. Combining with fellow countryman and funk-soul-r&b vocalist Georges Perin, “Around” builds around a captivating vocal topline with chugging drum grooves, rippling arps, modulating analogue bass notes and expansive audioscapes. A track with endless depth and width within its production – “Around”, pushes the boundaries of aural experience and was made to be played loud.

Greek producer and DJ CJ Jeff has a wealth of experience in the electronic music world, from A&R to event promotion to co-owning clubs and owning a label. Starting as a raver at Cavo Paradiso and Ministry of Sound, CJ Jeff soon learnt he wanted to be on the other side of the booth, playing his music to large crowds.
CJ’s earliest releases have found homes on Souvenir, These Days, Supernova’s Lapsus Music and John Digweed’s influential Bedrock Records. With such a long-standing career, CJ Jeff has seen further success recently, releasing on many labels, including 8Bit, Objektivity and Kling Klong. The last two years saw him secure releases on seminal and respected brands such as Circus Recordings, Saved Record and Stereo Productions – all receiving a multitude of support from artists such as Dennis Ferrer, Oxia, Nic Fanciulli and Rafa Barrios, adding to his impressive history in music production.
