Through a flock of remixes for Kitsuné, Two Door Cinema Club, Ladyhawke, RÜFÜS, Gigamesh, Punks Jump Up… and a few singles including a collaboration with Poland’s Kamp! the Franco-Italian pair has honed a musical signature that gels house, electro, disco, funk & more to an indie-pop sensibility and fondness for the human touch within electronic music. It’s all about the tune and the melody with these well trained, exigent ears. Originally created to release their JBAG productions, their imprint Continental records boasts today a talented global cast.
Parisian DJ/sound-designer Jerry Bouthier was originally involved in the burgeoning 90s French house/rave music scene, deejaying, remixing, writing and A&Ring… He’s long relocated to London and has kept building bridges between the two capitals since.
Part of the Kitsuné family since 2007, he’s released 5 mixed cds for the stylish French label http://www.kitsune.fr/journal/2014/09/wear/kitsune-trip-mode-jerry-bouthier-exclusive-interview/
Former music director at Vivienne Westwood from 2008 to 2013, has overseen 50 shows for the company and has delivered catwalk soundtracks for many more designers such as Matthew Williamson, Roksanda Ilincic, Jonathan Saunders, Peter Jensen, Sibling, Julian Macdonald etc.

A classically trained virtuoso and skilled sound-engineer/producer, Andrea Gorgerino – Jerry’s side-kick without whom there would be no JBAG - started piano at 5, studied harmony at 12, completed his SAE diploma at 24 and as such gained unparalleled musicality aptly channeled in the duo’s project.
Every first Wednesday of the month Continental records takes over the Long bar of the Sanderson hotel in central London for intimate performances half-way between live concert and P.A. from friends and artists of the label. It is a free entry event, simply RSVP on Fbk event to be added to the list
