Jason Jenkins

With more than 30 years of DJ experience, Jason Jenkins knows what he likes and isn’t afraid to try something new – “as long as it sounds good.” His instincts are keen, and as many Austin club goers have said, he knows how to read a room. Both intuitive and innovative, this disc jockey knows how to dish out quality dance music that will stimulate any audience. Having worked at several radio stations, almost every major dance club in Austin and several around the state of Texas, there’s no disputing that Jason has his choice of venues to work. He chooses Austin for a number of reasons, but at the forefront is the genuine love he feels for the people of Austin. “I want to expose everyone to the best stuff out there, and I want to educate everyone about the different styles of dance music that is available.”Over the past decade, Jason has been intimately involved in nearly every major dance music event in Austin's colorful history. Jason has worked for countless dance music venues, including some of Austin’s most renowned – Ethics, Kingdom, Plush, Vulcan Gas Company, Lanai, Sky Lounge, Fabric, Barcelona, Eternal, Element, Twist, Paradox, Inferno just to name a few. While at Paradox in 1995, He was named “Best Club DJ” by the readers of the Austin Chronicle, and Paradox was voted “Best Nightclub” that same year. Lance Cashion invited him to become a member of Slow Motion Music in 1998, which is also when Jason worked for Alien Records, a store in Austin owned by the infamous Herb Agapetus. That was a job that came naturally to him. He was also voted “Best DJ” in the 2001 Austin Nightclub and Bar Awards.In 2001, Jason was part of the team that helped Mega 93.3 become Austin's first all-dance radio phenomenon for the first few crazy years of the new millennium.
