hailing from Washington, DC, Justin Katz is a true pioneer of tight house grooves, downtempo beats and killer song productions of all styles. From breaks to progressive or tech house, to tribal, to trip hop, to drum and bass, to straight up pop, the captain has been acclaimed in nearly every genre to date both for his original recordings and his remixing capabilities. Drawing on a love for warm ambient sounds, dope disco, funky tribal beats, epic melodies, and tweaked out human voices, there is little question why this master of the hook is probably the most talented new producer in Washington D.C. With his recent debut on 'Oakenfold Presents' and a cache of amazing pop/house tracks, JPunch, aka hook the captain (Justin Katz) is rapidly emerging as one of the brightest stars on the scene. The captain has released tracks on major dance labels all over the world, including everything from Global Underground, to Ministry of Sound, alongside artists like BT, Underworld, Sasha, Sinead O Conner, and more. Not only a force in the mainstream, the captain's music also remains pervasive throughout the underground and has been feature all over the the globe on the Kazaa, Itunes, Pressplay, and Rhapsody Netorks. With over 2 Million Downloads, Hook has not only been featured on the front page of the 35 million user Kazaa Network, but his track "Temple," was actually used for the DEMO of the entire underground artist program. Recently, interviewed by the New York Times and The Washington Post regarding his accomplishments in December, the Washington Post's own Pop Music Critic, David Segal, himself says.. "he's the pants." Historically, the captain has been featured in Just about every Press imaginable in DC including on the front page of the prestigious DC City Newspaper Arts Section. He can constantly be found schmoozing with the local DJ's, and deblousing the local ladies. The captain is involved in all aspects of the music industry from DJing, and producing to writing reviews. Historically hook has written for various dance magazines including BPM Culture Magazine/DJmixed.com. In his quest for global dominance, hook has recently acquired his own label, dPulse! dPulse presents the work of independent artists who capture the innovative essence of electronica in all its many diverse forms...untethered to the restrictions of mass consumption. d In addition to merging with dPulse, the Captain has also joined with Dean Capone and Michael Kilzer to become the third member of 3Kstatic, a group already known for its distinctive sound; a genre-bending 'found sound' montage of spookshow synths, driving percussion and haunting hooks built around vintage keyboard and guitar sounds. 3kstatic has been featured in the hollywood reporter, and is regularly played on MTV on shows like, "The Real World," and "Road Rules" Deep Background GLobal Underground - if you don't know what this is, god help you. Ministry of Sound - see above: Global Underground System Recordings (Alpha-Numeric), is perhaps best known as one of the largest American Electronic Dance Labels. System Recordings roster includes big name artists like Dave Ralph, DJ Icey, Adam F, Dieselboy, Josh Wink, Junior Sanchez, Christopher Lawrence, Danny Tenaglia, Derrick Carter, Chris Cowie, DFuse, Charles Feelgood, Bad Company, Frankie Bones, Joshua Ryan and more....Expect to see the J-punch's 'Bitch' and 'Away Your Life' on vinyl release in the near future on Alpha Numeric, a sub-label of System. Downtempo versions of these tracks will probably also find their way onto various chill compilations in the coming year courtesy of System. Climax Recordings - In a small period of time Climax has become recognized by some of the industry's finest and most respected DJs and producers worldwide, as a label that simply refuses to be pigeonholed, due to it's quality, varied releases. Climax007 will finally see the release of J-Punch's debut 'Reach' - old-skool-esque breaks in its Original version, with Paul Lancaster turning out a quality minimal house re-rub and Fretwell doing his floaty, hypnotic proggy breaks thing to great effect. Hook has worked extensively with Lancaster whose recent productions have had strong support from people like John Digweed, Sander Kleinenberg, Cass, Nick Warren, James Zabiela, Tyler Stadius, Momu, Jondi and Spesh, Chris Cargo, Greg Vickers, Mike Shawe, DJ Who, Steve 'Jawa' Parry and Brian Stillwater. Ovenready Productions - Ovenready will unleash the mammoth 'Liquid Heart' towards the end of Summer 2003. The original downtempo version has been remade and remastered by the extremely talented Dayzero from Fandango Records. Also, Chicago's finest, Grayarea, from Hope Records have done the honors on the remix front for the uptempo version. CDRs of this track have already found their way into the sets of such illustrious DJs as Paul Oakenfold (debuting on 'Oakenfold Presents'), Hernan Cattaneo and D:Fuse. This is a large one! dPulse - Hook the captain will be featured as dPulse's second release, "The Way You Like It." This slinky-yet-eerie tune is a caustic diatribe cloaked as a delicious pop confection and will be seeded throughout the UK around May 12th courtesy of prime distribution. US versions will probably be available soon via Balance Promote. The support on this one has already blown us away. we expect this to be a large tune. The sequel to the original album "BANG TO THIS", tentatively called, "bang it forward," is in the works, and is expected to be finished by early Fall.
