Biography:

-Jon1st could be best described as a 'DJ's DJ': a selector able to simultaneously capture a crowd with his upbeat selection of tracks crossing numerous tempos and styles across the alternative bass music spectrum while incorporating technical skills developed in his background as a competitive turntablist without breaking the flow of his mixes. In one of his sets you might hear a Flying Lotus record juxtaposed with a Scientist track, contemporary footwork beats blended with 90's hip hop, or scratching sprinkled over dancehall.
