Jason Michael "Stillwind" Borenstein was a KONAMI employee, best known for working on the DanceDanceRevolution series. He first worked as an audio designer on [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX|DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX]] and [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX2|its sequel]] under the aliases of Stillwind and SuperStillwind respectively. He was then promoted to lead music director in [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX3|ULTRAMIX3]], and fulfilled that position as well in [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX4|ULTRAMIX4]].
* The name literally translates to ''Michael with ice cream''.
* He is seen in tutorial mode starting in [[AC DJ TROOPERS]] helping to explain how to play the game.
* The "engrish" in his songs can be seen as an inside joke.

After the ULTRAMIX series ended, Jason became the sound director of the first DanceDanceRevolution title on the Nintendo Wii, [[CS DDR HOTTEST PARTY|DanceDanceRevoltution HOTTEST PARTY]], which was a huge hit for the system. Jason then became the sound director of [[AC DDR X|DanceDanceRevolution X]], making him the first - and so far ''only'' - non-Japanese person to sound direct an arcade BEMANI title. Jason would also work on [[CS DDR HOTTEST PARTY2|DanceDanceRevoltution HOTTEST PARTY2]] and [[CS DDR Disney Grooves|DanceDanceRevolution Disney Grooves]] around this time as well.

Sadly, Jason Borenstein died on February 7th, 2009 from an aortic aneurysm at just 36 years old. The final video game project he worked on, [[CS DDR HOTTEST PARTY3|DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY3]], was released eight months after his death.

* Jason, under his Michael a la Mode persona, was seen in the tutorial mode in [[AC DJ TROOPERS|beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS]], helping to explain how to play the game as Michael a la Mode. His voice was dubbed over by [[Yoshitaka Nishimura|DJ Yoshitaka]].
* [[AC jb ripples|jubeat ripples]] song [[STARLIT DUST/Still ni sasagu|STARLIT DUST/スティルに捧ぐ]] is named after Jason. The English title in [[CS jukebeat|jukebeat]], STARLIT DUST/For The Late Stillwind, confirms this.
** Another song dedicated to him, titled [[On the Night of a Still Wind]], appears in [[CS DDR 2010|DanceDanceRevolution (2010)]].
* According to [[Richard Lane|DJ Silver]], Jason was very likely behind the SLOTH MUSIC PROJECT alias, as DJ Silver produced all of Jason's covers for [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2]] at the same time.
