Ultra Records has announced the launch of their new Ultra.DJ digital album series with the August 28 release of Ultra.Bentley by heralded tastemaker DJ Jason Bentley. This marks the beginning of a series where the label invites groundbreaking DJs to compile their favorite songs from Ultra’s massive catalog, which encompasses over 2500 tracks.
For the inaugural offering, Bentley has chosen a fine selection of works by some of Ultra’s best artists: David Guetta, Armand Van Helden, Timo Maas, Junkie XL and many more. “It was a blast having a go at the Ultra catalog, picking some of my favorites for this special digital mix,” says Bentley. “Whether you’re out on the town, sipping cocktails poolside or hitting the gym, this mix showcases the energy and range of Ultra’s exceptional catalog.”
Jason Bentley was hand picked for the first edition by Ultra Records President Patrick Moxey. “For the 15 years that I’ve known Jason, he’s the arbiter of cool on the west coast, consistently breaking new music and educating a generation of dance fans,” states Moxey. “In his Ultra.Bentley mix, Jason’s put the perfect spin on Ultra’s artists."

He was recognized by the LA Weekly and The New Times as the Best DJ in Los Angeles.
