Norman Jay MBE (b. Notting Hill, London) is an innovative and pioneering British DJ. He first came to prominence playing unlicensed or ‘warehouse’ parties in the early 1980s, such as Shake ‘n’ Fingerpop. His diverse and deep musical knowledge and his refusal to be restricted to playing from any single genre distinguishes him from his peers. He has an ongoing radio show on regional station BBC London and present his Funk Factory series on BBC Radio 2 which goes out every 6 weeks of the year.
Norman established himself through the London pirate radio station Kiss 100, which he co-managed alongside Gordon Mac and George Power. Kiss 100 was launched in 1990 and Norman’s show became legendary, and he soon joined Gilles Peterson at his label Talkin’ Loud.
His Good Times Sound System, which he started with his brother Joey, is a major attraction to many music fans who attend the two day August bank holiday Notting Hill Carnival . Good Times now attracts an estimated 3,000 revellers a day during the carnival.
Norman describes himself as a house music DJ, but the Good Times concept includes classic 70s and 80s funk, soul and Jazz-funk, previous carnival tracks have typically included Estelle’s 1980; and tracks featured in recent radio shows have included Billy Griffin’s Hold Me Tighter In The Rain and more contemporary tracks in the form of Heavy’s track Wonderlove.
