The Sessions Recordings

The Sessions Recordings Recordlabel for all things Intelligent Elektronica. Owned and managed by Dutch producer / composer C-Jay.

The Sessions is a respected name in the international music industry. It is one with longevity, versatility and flexibility, managed and owned by Christian Jansen (artist name C-Jay) Despite difficult global times, The Sessions is back once again – with a new outlook for 2021 and beyond. In 2004, The Sessions started as a record label for C-Jay’s own musical productions. Top artists demanded a rel

ease on the burgeoning label, with the brand rapidly establishing itself as a high-quality music outlet, supported by the key players. Prior to the record label, The Sessions (based out of C-Jay’s record store in Holland) was a respected events brand. Events were held in Amsterdam venues such as Paradiso, Mazzo, Panama and Melkweg with the best DJ’s on the planet flying in to headline. As of 2021 the label has reverted to it's original purpose, namely being an exclusive outlet for C-Jay's own music, with a selection of other artist's releases as well, handpicked by C-Jay himself. With a brand as strong as The Sessions and Covid continuing to make the future of the music industry unclear, now is the right time for him to take full control again. The circle, which commenced back in 2004, is now complete, and ready to adapt to the future.

Up first is this stunning remix pack of C-Jay & LOM's "Dormarch" release on Darin Epsilon's "Perspectives Digital" imprint, October 2021. Where the original track was a progressive stomper, this pack turns things upside down completely.

𝐈𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐲 (πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ - sample 1) has been around since... well, since forever actually.
He's a synthologist, sound-designer and the owner of DiN music, one of the most renowned ambient recordlabels around. With numerous albums under his belt and covering a decades spanning career he's without doubt one of the founding fathers of the electronic music scene.

π€π«π£πžπ§ π’πœπ‘πšπ­ (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± - sample 2) can easily be called the "Dutch Klaus Schulze" as his style is very reminiscent to the Berlin-school sound of Klaus and Tangerine Dream. His production skills are insanely good and his live use of hardware sequencers makes one feel thrown back in time.

Dutch producer and mastering engineer 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐒𝐨𝐧 (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± - sample 3) finishes this pack in style. Marco is most commonly known for his remix work for Jean-Michel Jarre, in the late 90's.

And if this wasn't enough of a link to all things synth, let's point out once more that StΓ©phane Gervais (the featured artist on the original release) was Jean-Michel Jarre's right hand for almost a decade; both on stage as well as in the studio, being heavily involved in the production of albums like "Oxygene 3" - "Electronica 1, & 2" and "Equinoxe Infinity"

Have a great weekend ya'll :)
Any plans?

If you're looking for some music for the weekend, I can highly reccommend the new Tangerine Dream EP "Probe 6-8"

This is a taster of their new album, which will see the light of day early 2022 😎

Well, as promised: The Sessions Recordings are back in business soon. The first release will be scheduled for early 2022.

This will be an EP with ambient / downtempo remixes of my release π™³πš˜πš›πš–πšŠπš›πšŒπš‘, which came out earlier this year on Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital label. Where the original release was a dancefloor killer, this pack will be the complete opposite ;)

The first remixer we can introduce, is none other than the legend that is Ian Boddy. As a synthesist, sound-designer and owner of DiN records he has proven throughout decades he's one of the guys that always have been there and always will be...

Call it ambient, Berlin-style or synthwave.... Ian's been there and done that.

Soon we'll reveal the names of the other remixers, and samples of the whole pack.

After a very rough year, I'm happy to say I'm able to spend more and more time in the studio finishing my BackSlider album, rebranding my label The Sessions Recordings to an ambient / elektronica outlet and even finishing a ....π‘€π‘Žπ‘–π‘‘ π‘“π‘œπ‘Ÿ 𝑖𝑑....dancefloor track!

That's right, a tune aimed for dancefloors. To eat your face to. To bust a move and shake a b***y.
As you know, I don't do that many dancetracks anymore but when I do, I make sure it's a killer and not a filler ;)

π˜Ώπ™€π™§π™’π™–π™§π™˜π™
The track has a long history, going back over 2 years in time when I played first drafts during my sets. And now it's finally finished! The track is called "π·π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘šπ‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘β„Ž" and made together with my good friends LOM from Argentina and Stephane Gervais from Canada.

Not to mention my new "BackSlider 7-13" album planned for early 2022 on my label, the future finally looks bright again.

Samples of all the above soon 🎢
