The French/German is a staple of the international party scene, but it is his contributions to the white isle of Ibiza that really embody his influence on dance music culture. A staple of international stages and a key fixture on the white isle for the last few years[4] – his B!CRAZY night[5] established him as one of the most sought-after names in the global house music scene.[6] Jean Claude Ades is a unique and well-versed music producer with many Beatport #1s [7] under his belt.

He combines influences from around the world to finely craft the perfect track – sending dancefloors on a musical journey that transcends genre boundaries.

But the studio is only one element of Ades’ career. His DJing prowess saw him touring throughout Europe, Asia and South America, until finally, he decided to make a home base in Ibiza in 2012,[8] where he really began to leave his mark on the magical Mediterranean White Isle. The birth of his B!CRAZY party has propelled Ades into the top tier of movers and shakers on the island - as it was all done through realizing a vision of musical excellence few can match.

With a deep and intrinsic love of music that favors deep bass, crisp drums and a constant stride for authenticity, Ades started his own night – B!CRAZY. A pursuit of evolving, expansive sets is echoed in his parties – it's not about providing a quick rush for audiences but developing a feeling that will stay with dancers for long after the night, weaving progressive and tribal elements into his musical journeys that transcend genre boundaries.

Ades has left his mark on some of the most iconic venues on the island and toured the concept worldwide.[9] Residencies and events at Pacha, BMI, Beachouse, Ushuaia Antz and Amnesia solidified his reputation, and saw him bring his unique clubbing experience to London, Dubai, Miami and many more. Now firmly ensconced every Friday at Heart Ibiza, a club he describes as having a “philosophy (that) is a lot more about giving than taking” where artists can let loose and take things to the next level.[10]

Charmed by the beauty of the Mediterranean, Ades took up a second residency at the gorgeous Scorpios in Mykonos[11] – a hot spot for international DJs and one of the most beautiful beach clubs in the world - offering a piece of his unique brand of deep and slick melodic techno on their Sunday nights on a weekly basis.[12]

Particularly noted for his work with pop and dance vocalist, Dannii Minogue, Jean Claude Ades co-wrote and produced Minogue's biggest hit "I Begin to Wonder" under the pseudonym J.C.A. and three further tracks, "Come and Get It", "Feel Like I Do" and "Free Falling". He also helped produce the song "Lovers Till the End" with Christian Burns for the album Simple Modern Answers.

His better known remixes include that of The Nightcrawlers' "Push The Feeling On", Coburn's "We Interrupt this Programme", Tomcraft's "Da Disco", The Roc Project's "Never (Past Tense)" and iiO's "At the End". Ades' hit singles include "Some Day", "Fly Away", and "Nite Time" and Angel City's "Love Me Right (Oh Sheila)" [13]

Under the alias Krystal K while residing in Munich, Germany, he produced a major hit on the Billboard Dance Top 40 chart in 2004 with "Let's Get It Right",[14]
