JKriv, born Jason Kriveloff, is a central figure in the modern Brooklyn disco and house scene. His sound identity is defined by his background as a professional bassist, most notably with the live house outfit Tortured Soul.
This instrumental pedigree informs his production, which prioritizes live-feeling rhythms and sophisticated harmonic structures over simple loops. As the co-founder of the Razor-N-Tape label and head of Deep & Disco, he has become a tastemaker in the 're-edit' culture, specifically known for his ability to modernize global sounds, including a significant focus on MPB and Brazilian boogie. His career arc shows an evolution from a live performer to a prolific producer and DJ who bridges the gap between the 1970s loft era and contemporary club culture. Critical consensus highlights his technical proficiency and his 'musician's approach' to electronic music, making him a peer to artists like Joey Negro or Dimitri from Paris. His work is essential for collectors of nu-disco and soulful house who value analog warmth and authentic musicianship.
