DJ
J6
By
Ken Lin Translated by Sheng Chen
James
Jan, who founded a pioneering DJ club
during his college years at FuJen Catholic
University, is now the man behind a famous
night club--2nd Floor--and is known in
Taiwan and overseas as DJ J6. In recent
years, he has devoted himself to dance
culture, exchanging local DJs with foreign
notables such as Paul van Dyk, Josh Wink,
DJ Krush, Ishiya Takkyu and Ishii Ken,
and bringing the latest sounds to dancers.
The Loop, which consists of James Jan
and friends, has planned many events
around Taiwan, and aspires to internationalize
Taiwan's dance culture.
In
the early 1990s, J6 could be seen DJing
at Spin, Roxy, B.A.M., Room 18 and Milk
(now called Salong). Now he mainly appears
at 2nd Floor. Years of experience has
strengthened the music flow from Rock
to Electro, Tribal to House, manipulating
the atmosphere around the dance floor,
and heightening the dancers' senses.
J6
usually wines himself up when he's on stage;
it relaxes him. And that's when we'll see
his unbridled moves ravishing the crowd.
James, however, is quite a careful planner
in private. Because of his Mass Communications
background, the events he plans show great
vision in terms of marketing. Along with
his buddies, the Sundae party they planned
promoted lounge music and lounge bars in
Taiwan. On top of that, he internationalized
2nd Floor and is now training new DJs for
Taiwan with DJ @llen.
James,
DJ J6, has only one goal: To bring great
joy with the latest music from around the
world, in a club near you.
