JAAW
Deep, groovy and unmistakably sharp – straight from Mexico City.
JAAW is a DJ, producer and label head whose sound effortlessly blends '90s-tinged house, soul textures and subtle intensity, creating sets that are deep, groovy, and always dialed in. From underground clubs to major stages, his presence is marked by consistency, boldness and a flair for the unexpected.
Founder of Olde Tapes, JAAW has released on respected imprints such as Disco Halal, Boyanza, D Records and Creatures of the Night, building a catalog that spans acid, trance and stripped-back house—all with his signature warmth and edge.
On stage, JAAW delivers journeys—not just sets. His performances balance instinct and precision, avoiding predictable builds in favor of emotional flow and groove-driven impact.
He’s played at flagship events like OFF Sónar CDMX, EDC México and Sunday Sunday, and regularly performs at some of Mexico’s most iconic venues, including Bar Américas (Guadalajara), Fünk Club and Departamento (CDMX). He’s also shared lineups with artists like DJ Seinfeld, Marie Davidson, Adana Twins, Moscoman, Oliver Koletzki, Zombies in Miami, and many more.
Now, with a growing discography and a distinct sonic identity, JAAW is part of the new Latin American wave reshaping global dance music—authentic, fearless, and always fun. For him, it’s not just about the drop. It’s about building a legacy, one groove at a time.
