Jochem Paap (owes the nickname Speedy J to his DJ skills) is unanimously considered to be one of the first techno producers to come from the Benelux. Together with people like Laurent Garnier, Aphex Twin and Richie Hawtin he helped raising the genre just after it had escaped the Detroit delivery room.
Since the early nineties, Speedy J releases on labels like Plus 8, Warp and Novamute. But while techno develops into a dominating force on many dance floors worldwide, Jochem Paap, after the albums G Spot (1993) and Ginger (1995), turns left and heads for other exciting places.
On Public Energy No. 1 (1997) and A Shocking Hobby (2000) the sound wizard exchanges flowing, harmonious techno for a much more complex sound, filled with colliding samples, crackling rhythms and tremendously thrilling turns.
After fifteen years of techno Speedy J now has come full circle. But what a wide circle it was, and how fickle the trodden path. Over the years he has collaborated with video-artists, filmmakers and advertisers, made the pioneering DVD Umfeld, an audio-visual, electronic trip, which sets the standard for many composers who want to compose for six speakers in the coming years – remarkably made available as a free download on the internet.
But not only that, Speedy J has continuously been pushing the boundaries of electronic & experimental dance music. Blurring the lines between Live performance and Digital Djing, he fuses subversive electronics and peak time Techno. Together with his partner in crime Chris Liebing he started using Traktor and other Software technology on 4 laptops with hardware such as Machine Drum and 303’s to create a fully integrated set. Again he is spearheading a way of DJing that is picked up by a lot of other forward thinking electronic artists.
Logically, the releases on his label Electric Deluxe all feature tool versions, introducing the concept of creating unique live sets from parts as a natural evolution of Djing. Not only setting the bar for peak hour Techno madness, Electric Deluxe becomes the platform for his Collabs series that started on Novamute, as well as releases by open minded artists like Chris Liebing, George Issakidis, Tommy Four Seven and Terrence Fixmer to showcase the value of creative synergy using newest technology.
Another strong part of this idea is the introduction of a new series of techno events called Electric Deluxe presents, which in a young history of just a couple of editions brought major artists like Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Radio Slave, Matthew Dear, Chris Liebing into play.
Speedy J’s musical vision is genre blurring, creative freedom at the highest level of innovation and quality, it is providing a platform for artists operating within any conceivable genre in the broad spectrum of techno to fully explore and embrace the ever-expanding technological possibilities.

Speedy J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m a knockout killer mansions and villas
My life's like a sexual thriller
This is the life God gave me
Now I′m a talk about for the love of ray j
14 ladies it's about to get crazy
I got a house on the hills overlookin LA
Man these girls are so ready, to do what I say
I′m a start with the chick with the tattoo on here face
I named her danger ′cause she might shoot up the place
She got a body of a goddess and she's from the bay
And she kind of steals my heart with the pictures she paints
Maybe this next lady, I named her caviare ′cause her body look tasty
Russian accent her face was amazing but I never understand a word she be sayin
I'm rollin′ in my lambo lookin for my wifey
I named this girl hot cocoa so I can be her iced tea
Another girl at the house she really likes me
She crazy but she sexy so I named the chick feisty
I named this other girl stacks and this other girl genuine
I'm tryin be a gentlemen tryin to get cool with all these women that I′m livivn with
The first time I ever saw a human banana split [damn! ]
I named that girl chardonnay; shawty's from the A sippin wine all day
I named this other girl stilts 'cause she′s so much taller than meeeee
I got this other girl, she makes a good drink
So I named her cocktail she so sexy
I call this other girl unique
She swears she classy but I think she′s a freak
I know she wants to dirty up my mattress
Then I met this other girl that's so attractive
I named her naturalle but there′s something I have to ask:
Is she here for love or is she here to be an actress?
I don't know!
This girl atomic bomb′s hot but she movin' too slow
Baby girl′s from Brooklyn but she shy on my show
She better step it up or she gotta go [damn]
Two more ladies:
I named this girl lil' hood 'cause her attitude′s crazy
White girl, blonde hair, she thinks she′s from the ghetto
Hoppin' out that pretty motherf**ker like "hello"
And then I named this girl cashmere ′cause she so soft and mellow
All you ladies let's get to it. I just wanna know one thing... I just wanna know one thing ladies... are you here for the love of Ray J? [yes daddy] [laughs]
Iight then... here′s your glass
The lyrics of "Pullover" by Speedy J is a rap about the artists' ostentatious lifestyle and the many women in his life. He refers to himself as a "knockout killer" and says that he lives a life like a "sexual thriller". He talks about the different ladies he has in his life who are ready to do whatever he says. He has given each of them a nickname, based on their looks and personalities. He mentions a woman with a tattoo on her face and named her Danger, another woman he named Caviare because of her body, and a Russian woman with a beautiful face but he doesn't understand what she says. He also mentions a girl who makes good drinks and named her Cocktail.
The song describes Speedy J's playboy lifestyle, objectifying women and treating them as objects to be used for his pleasure. He brags about his wealth, his mansion on the hills, and his Lamborghini. However, he seems to be questioning the intentions of one woman he calls "Naturalle", wondering if she's with him for love or to kickstart her acting career. The lyrics also suggest that one of the women is moving too slowly in his eyes and another seems to have an attitude problem. Overall, the lyrics portray a rather shallow and materialistic lifestyle.

In 1992 I bought the cd Techno Trance. #4 was a complete new sound for me; SPEEDY J. Hooked from the first time I listened to it. Saw Speedy J @ work at Mysteryland a few years ago. Still an excellent performer! This was the beginning for me.
