Jex Opolis

Jex Opolis (Jex Pringle) is a Canadian-born, NYC-based producer and DJ who has become a pivotal figure in the modern Balearic and 'Good Times' house scene. His career began in the early 2000s with the electro duo DVAS, but his solo work under the Jex Opolis moniker has defined his legacy.

Through his labels Good Timin' and Bad Timin', he has cultivated a specific aesthetic that bridges 80s synth-pop, Italo disco, and sophisticated house music. His sound identity is built on a foundation of vintage hardware, utilizing FM synthesis and classic drum machines to create a texture that is both nostalgic and contemporary. Critically, he is praised for his ability to inject personality into electronic music, often through his own deadpan vocals and quirky lyrical themes. He occupies a unique cultural space as a 'digger's favorite,' respected by vinyl enthusiasts for his deep knowledge of obscure dance music while remaining accessible to broader indie-electronic audiences. His influence is felt in the resurgence of melodic, sun-soaked electronic music that prioritizes groove and atmosphere over aggressive drops.
