New Mix: 2018 Megamix for Booms & Claps

Here’s the 2018 edition of my annual megamix series where I blend all my favourite club tracks from the year into 40 minutes! This year the mix has been hosted by the lovely folks and Booms & Claps:

Jon1st is what some might refer to as a "DJ's DJ." He exists in that oh-so-rare middle ground between technical proficiency, phenomenal taste, musicality, subtlety, and flow that eludes so many DJ's who fall into the "turntablist" category. His appreciation for unique sounds and equally unique approaches to performing and sharing those sounds creates the perfect storm of quality selection and presentation. We've been following Jon for years now, through his official scratch routines for artists like Ivy Lab and Sam Binga, his 2013 Online DMC World Championship win among a multitude of other notable turntablism awards and successes, his radio podcast for Fly High Society and countless other guest mixes for outlets ranging from Ninja Tune's Solid Steel Radio to Tim Parker's NTS to Hyponik to Noisey, and of course, his ever-impressive production chops. Since 2010, he has been doing an annual year-end wrap-up megamix including all of his favorite tunes from the past year blended into an hour-long medley of Jon1st-approved stompers, and we couldn't think of a better way to end 2018 for Booms and Claps. We sat down (metaphorically) for a quick check-in with the man himself to chat about his recent releases, touring, the existential meaning of DJing (apparently it's a lot more than playing two songs at the same time), and of course, this year's wrap-up mix aka BnC Mix 036: Jon1st (2018 Year-End MegaMix). Check out the interview and tracklist in the buy link and buckle up for 365 days worth of beats neatly packaged into an explosive 60 minutes of Jon1st 2018 selections. @jon1st
