Juan José "Jay" Montes started DJ'ing in 1990. He quickly became a hugely popular resident in various clubs of his neighbourhood, and this led to guest appearances on one of the biggest radio stations in Mexico, Stereo 100.1 fm.

In 1998 Jay has the opportunity to be head producer in a big production studio of Mexico, during this time he maintains his spinning skills with regular guest appearances at some of the most important clubs in the country. But in 2000, he decides to come back to his first love: DJ'ing, playing around Mexico in different electronic music parties and gaining a residency at El Acanto club. His unique style and great sounds helped him capture a residency at the biggest and most famous club in Mexico : La Boom, and guest appearances at some of the coolest parties in town: Boom Lounge, Mezzanotte ristorante, Danzoo club, Colmillo club and the Palace club.

In November 2002 he was introduced to the Tascam DJ Team México as DJ performer and Tascam product specialist and went on the Tascam DJ tour around Mexico with the team, playing in clubs like: El Gallo lounge, Club Living and many more parties around the country.

In 2005, Jay was the resident of one of the biggest club in Mexico City, the Stereo Club, playing for 2500 souls every night. At same time, he became the main producer of the best electronic music radio station, Beat 100.9 fm. Jay joins the first record label for DJ/producers in Mexico City, Chilango Drums Records, for whom he's the main producer. Chilango Drums tied up with the legendary DJ/producer Jerry Ropero and his record company, Inter Laber, in Germany.

On the DJ side, Jay is part of the line-up in the monthly residencies with Mean-Dream that see him perform, amongst other places, all around South Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia. On top of it, Jay was resident in Continetal Dj Club, the most important club in Mexico City, together with G-mind, Carlos G, Alain & Gudiño.
