After developing respectable solo careers as DJs and producers, long-time friends Billy the Gent and Long Jawns officially banded together as Gent & Jawns becoming an unstoppable force in the world of club music. The release of their now classic Moombahton anthem “Vibrate” catapulted them to the top of everyone’s list of producers to work with and landed them remixes for Datsik, Bare, and Muffler, as well as collaborations with Nadastrom, Torro Torro and JWLS.

In early 2012 they worked with mega-producer Diplo on his Express Yourself EP, which topped the iTunes charts as the number one electronic album. They followed up with an absolutely stunning remix of the title track “Express Yourself,” which saw repeated plays by many of the top DJs in the world. Shortly after, they released “Holler,” their first official EP on Mad Decent’s Jeffrees label. Jeffrees went on to earn the iTunes Label of the Year honors. The duo ended the year proper when they released “TURNUP”, a party-inducing track that’s being called the biggest trap song of 2012. In two weeks the track saw 80,000 plays and held position as the top electronic song on SoundCloud.

While known for their world-class production, Gent & Jawns’ secret weapon is their ability to perform live. Long Jawns is a legend in his hometown of Richmond, VA, where he is widely known for throwing the biggest and best parties the city has seen in years. Billy The Gent began DJing with support from his friend Dave Nada (Nadastrom, creator of Moombahton) in Washington, DC and quickly became a staple at the famous U-Street Music Hall. Together, Gent & Jawns have gone on to share the stage with top notch acts like Diplo, Dillon Francis, Nadastrom, Caspa, Craze, Die Antwoord, and more.

“From sell out shows to viral releases Meaux Green’s presence in dance music over the past months have turned him into one of the most coveted players in Trap, House, Bass, beyond and he works endlessly to secure a sound unlike anything before. Using his Hip-Hop background as inspiration, and fusing in today’s modern dance sound, the Miami native now finds himself as one the leaders of the 100-bpm bass music sound. Building a name through multiple residencies and Southeastern shows, he has also become one of the fiercest DJs playing versatile sets and quickly becoming a crowd favorite.

His originals however are what pull the plays, the features and the largest widespread support. With nods from industry legends Moby and Boys Noize from the beginning, he’s been commissioned on Henry Fong’s records, and had his free releases picked up by the likes of ThisSongSlaps, EDM.com, Trap And Bass and dozens more. A regular on the mix shows of Brillz, BBC Radio 1, and Diplo & Friends, his work has gained the consistent support of industry greats like Craze, Diplo, DJ Snake, Dillon Francis, Bro Safari, UZ, Doctor P, TWRK and many others. In fact, Billboard.com recently aired Meaux Green as the “Next Big Sound” of 2013

Collaborating with the industry’s most respected, his works have also landed him features on a handful of official record releases, including heavy hitting official remixes for Flosstradamus on Ultra Records. His collaboration “Thirsty” with CAKED UP for example hits Mad Decent running, as one of the heaviest and biggest supported tracks of 2014 and has already amassed over 4.5 million plays. Other collaborations with Tropkillaz, Party Favor, D!RTY AUD!O and more have set the bar high within his niche.

Sprinting into 2014, Meaux Green has packed his bags and is flying across North America on what is turning into a endless string of show dates. Plus, with massive collaborations underway and a collection of originals aimed at dance’s best labels, Meaux Green is halfway to the main stage and has his lifetime fans right behind him.”
