B3 / DIGITAL BUDDHIST

Based in Staffordshire, Jay is a distinguished DJ, producer, and live performer whose electrifying presence lights up raves and club nights across the UK and beyond. A true master of both trance and its harder, progressive offshoots, Jay brings an unparalleled sense of energy to every dancefloor.

Renowned for his creative versatility and party-starting instincts, he performs under the aliases B3 and Digital Buddhist—each representing a distinct musical persona but sharing the same unyielding commitment to igniting the crowd.

Jay’s journey into electronic music began with an early fascination for the genre’s high-octane energy and story-driven soundscapes.

Drawn to trance for its emotional intensity and pulse-raising beats, he quickly became obsessed with creating the kind of euphoric, hands-in-the-air moments that define unforgettable nights out. A pivotal turning point was his first clubbing experience at Godskitchen (CODE, Birmingham), headlined by John 00 Fleming—a night that supercharged his passion and set him on a mission to create his own dancefloor magic.

From those beginnings, Jay’s live performance career took off with high-voltage sets as Digital Buddhist at Grassroots UK events like Leofest and LOAD in Stoke-on-Trent. Bringing together live hardware, hypnotic trance, and a relentless drive, his sets quickly became the talk of the scene, earning him a reputation for mind-bending soundscapes and technical wizardry that keep crowds moving until the early hours.

The evolution continued with a breakthrough under his B3 alias at the renowned Midlands brand, Anomaly. Jay’s now-legendary surprise two-hour after-party set unleashed an explosive blend of genres, showcasing his ability to read the room and take ravers on a journey from deep, atmospheric grooves through to peak-time, high-energy anthems. The set not only won him a regular spot on the roster but also a coveted place within the Psychonauts collective—a name that resonates with the UK’s most dedicated trance and psytrance enthusiasts.

As his influence has grown, Jay has become a fixture on the UK club scene, setting dancefloors alight at venues such as The Tunnel Club (Birmingham), The Grey Lantern, and The Engine Room (Digbeth). His relentless energy and feel for the crowd have also earned him bookings in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and on the European circuit.

Whether opening with an atmospheric warm-up or closing with an all-out sonic assault, Jay is in demand with promoters seeking a DJ who can send crowds into a frenzy and leave them begging for one more track.

Internationally, Jay’s reputation for rave-ready performances has soared. A high-impact B3 debut at Euphoria Weekender in Malta introduced his arsenal of club bangers to a new audience, while his return as Digital Buddhist for a psytrance closing set at Malta’s Beach Haven Complex delivered a masterclass in late-night euphoria, cementing his status as a global dancefloor catalyst.

Beyond the main stage, Jay channels the same infectious energy into his studio productions and radio shows. His mixes have featured on major platforms including Trance Energy Radio (Vivida Sessions) and Deadstream’s Kon:strukt Takeover, broadcasting his signature blend of adrenaline and emotion to clubbers and ravers worldwide.

Today, whether turning up the heat as B3 or taking crowds on a psychedelic journey as Digital Buddhist, Jay is dedicated to uniting the heart and soul of classic trance with the untamed spirit of modern rave culture. His mission is simple: to ignite dancefloors, build anticipation, and keep the party going until the very last beat drop.
