GENESIS37 PRODUCTIONS

His talent extends as a songwriter and an aspiring producer where he has also begun establishing a production label entitled “Genesis37Productions”. Ray is always looking for new talent to work and grow with and is currently collaborating with several new artists in Melbourne. After speaking with Ray on his new projects, Ray puts it as, “Ground-Breaking!"

"Mixing music has provided me with the experience of how ‘other’ producers out there produce their work. Mixing music (or as others out there may call it music mashing, white-label mixing, etc) is not my way of disrespecting the artist’s (producer’s) work, but it’s a vehicle for how I would have made their track sound better. Having that mentality allowed me to branch out and do my own beats and tunes which I find more exciting than mixing other people’s music.”

Ray’s production roots run deep. His influences run vast from Motown to Mozart. He admires the song writing of Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, Dianne Warrick, Babyface and Stevie Wonder, just to name a few. “One of the reasons why I admire Eddie Vedder's songwriting is the careful depth that's taken to every single androgynous word and lyric - The melody he uses stands out in your mind and tells a story. I give respect to other producers out there such as Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds, Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, DeVante Swing, Chad Hugo & Pharrell from Neptunes and Timbaland”

Genesis37Productions is a music production label focusing on: 1. producing mixes for club djs; 2. producing mixes for performance dance groups; and 3. producing tracks for new upcoming local talent.

ABOUT RJ & VIKINGS

Vikings mixes are all mixed and produced by Ray Isla (also known as DJ-RJ). His break-away beats, technical vivacity and lucid imagination are the formula for his successful mixes. He recently mentions, “I’ve worked with the Viking dancers for nearly five years now. In that time, I’ve grown, made blunders and developed. But overall, I always strive to mix sounds that are punchy, vibrant, and different and crowd appealing. I would be remised to not mention the efforts of the choreographers in Vikings who always seem to inspire me to be the best I can be!” Ray also mixes for other dance groups such as 4six3 (in Sydney) and IHS (In His Steps), which he also dances in. He also mixes for several other dance groups in Melbourne.
