About: Air Jackson
Air Jackson's first-ever release, 'Orion,' was championed by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. Since then, the Dublin based artist hasn't looked back. He has continued to serve up masterfully melodic sounds that explore the cross-section between house, techno and a multitude of electronic genres. He has played festivals and clubs across Ireland, Ibiza, France and the Netherlands. He has also established his own Ten One Records as a contemporary leader when it comes to music rich in melody. And all this has happened in just a couple of years.
As a DJ and live performer, the former Amsterdam resident knows how to traverse genres, finding exciting, unpredictable links as he goes. From d&b to house, techno to breakbeat, he roams free, but often ties his selections together with an all-important melody. "I'm genre-fluid," he says, "if I like it I'll make it." The emotions Jackson's melodies bring, whether hopeful and optimistic or tense and dark, are very much what define his signature sound. To date, the influential likes of Groove Armada, Anthony Pappa, DJ Heather,Colin Dale and DJ Caspa have all been playing and supporting the three EPs he has released on Ten One Records, with more to come.
The summer of 2022 Air Jackson served up 'Chemistry,' a thrilling debut album that showcases the breadth and depth of his sound in all its glory. Alongside this, he will continue to search out and sign the best new music from both established and emerging artists, and continue to serve up the sort of scintillating melodic grooves that take you far away from your everyday reality.

2023
Ten One Records returns with label co-founders Air Jackson and ACI TONA coming together for their very first collaborative release. ‘When We Were Younger’ is a flawless amalgamation of their melodic yet tough styles and is laced with nostalgia and good vibes born from their 25 years of exposure to the club and rave scene.
The title track ‘When We Were Younger’ is a melodic techno bomb with driving percussion and a pulsating baseline overlaid with building arps and powerful synth stabs. ‘Acid Love’ is an ode to the days of acid house and rave, the era in which both artists initially ignited their passion for electronic music. The final track ‘Whatever It Must Be’ is a deeper melancholic affair with sounds that bring you straight back to the electro house era of the mid 00's.
Esteemed Dublin record label Ten One Records begin their packed 2023 release schedule with a dreamy 2 track collaboration between label co-founder Air Jackson and long-time Ten One Records artist Soul Campbell.
From Dublin & Wicklow respectively, in this all-Irish affair the artists have flawlessly found the transition point between their differing styles. Having previously meshed ideas through means of remixing, this 2-track collaboration has been long awaited and surges beyond all expectations.
First up, ‘Float’ is a dance floor dream of percussive texture, airy pads and intense arpeggiators all layered upon a dark but energetic bassline. The second track ‘With You’ is a deeper and more melancholic breakbeat affair with an unforgettable and haunting vocal that instantly hooks you in.
