Technocracy
Technocracy began as the first electronic music show on college radio station CFBU 103.7 FM (Brock Radio) in St. Catharines, ON, Canada in 1995. The (then) new radio station lacked any electronic music being hosted on its airwaves and Jay Kaufman was the man to carve out what went on to become *the* premier electronic music and culture radio show for the Niagara Region. It ran on Friday nights and later on, Saturdays as a way to kick start the weekend. Other shows soon followed, as well as a club night using the same name as the show.
Technocracy the FM radio show ran for a total of five years - 3 of which Jay was the main host. Featured guests included people like BT, Timo Maas, Mark E.G., Chris Liberator, Commander Tom, Nils Landstrumm and many more. The club night ran for three years and hosted some of the same names.
Fast forward to now. Technocracy is back in the form of a podcast doing what Jay does best - bring you the best DJ sets from himself and the world over.

Jay Kaufman presents Do What It Takes To Get More Breaks - January 28th, 2017
A sound I've been hearing a lot more of lately is the whole progressive beaks sound that was emerging in the early 2000s. This is a collection of some of the latest tracks I've heard featuring this …

Jay Kaufman presents Day Shift - July 21st, 2013
This mix is big on Germany. A lot of the 'techno' that's coming out of Germany has been blowing my mind lately. I don't think this is really techno because it's more techno lite (TM), but it's amaz…

Jay Kaufman Presents Late Night Sessions Volume 4 - November 28th, 2014
This starts off on the whole bass house/London garage sound that I'm really into at the moment and moving more into the progressive sounds that fit into that scene as well. This set is big on oomph!…

Jay Kaufman presents The Night Shift 2 - July 3rd, 2013
A trip (as cliche as that may be) from chilled out sounds to the more tough and techy. This is basically how I would warm up a club night for an opening DJ if I were given 82 minutes to do so.

Jay Kaufman Presents The Mistique Clique - August 29th, 2014
'Deep house' has become one of those dirty words to me. The stuff masquerading as deep house really isn't all that deep and possibly isn't even that house-y, but it's big on groove, vocals and sounds…

Jay Kaufman - Victoria Terrace (Original mix)
My latest track, done at the latest incarnation of my studio.

Jay Kaufman - Imperfect Ambient Noodling Jam (The Stuck MIDI Note Effect)

Jay Kaufman - Garage City
It's probably not a surprise, but I've really been digging the whole Bristol/London bass house/garage vibe that's been happening over the last couple of years. Those influences have clearly rubbed o…

There's a lot of different music out there masquerading as different genres right now. Progressive House is actually poppy dance music. Deep House isn't exactly deep or aruguably that housey. Melodic…
