New Video: Sam Binga & Deft Routine

Here's the first of two new routines I've recorded recently. This one is a scratched up version of 'Steppin' by Sam Binga, Deft and Redders out now on Critical Music, filmed by Paul Phengsiri and Sami Al-Nashee!

New Mix: 2014 Megamix for Hyponik

Happy new year!
It's been a tradition of mine over the last few years to recorded a 'megamix' of some of my favourite tracks of the year. This year was no exception and Hyponik kindly hosted my mix on their website this week. Check it out below!

There’s no great mystery to what makes Jon1st a good DJ – he simply plays the records people like and he plays them quickly. The winner of last year’s prestigious DMC online title and a presence on the podium for the World title, his rapid fire blends have seen him win praise from his contemporaries and club goers alike for several years now. Incorporating up to the minute club cuts with his fast mixing style, he’s the perfect person to bring our Hyp Mix series to a close for 2014 – with his selection taking in just under 40 tracks in nearly 45 minutes. Primed to get you in the mood for whatever your New Year Eve has in store, his mix has room for the upbeat stylings of Fatima alongside world beating anthems from Hudson Mohawke and frantic halfstep from Om Unit as he rounds up the last 12 months in ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ fashion. Enjoy – we’ll see you on the other side. Tracklist here: http://hyponik.com/mixes/hyp-206-jon-1st/

New Mix: '2 Weeks' Seratocast

As the name of the mix suggests, this is a mix I put together for Serato's Seratocast series, featuring a collection of tracks I've been listening to over the last fortnight, ranging from footwork to hip hop, beats to jungle, with a sprinkling of scratching on top. Artists featured include Stray, NameBrandSound, NehruvianDoom, Machinedrum and Aphrodite. Big love to Serato for featuring the mix!
 

New Video: Pioneer PLX Routine

This summer Pioneer asked me to write a routine to showcase their new PLX-1000 turntables: this is what we got up to! The music in the video is a collaboration between EAN (Cosmic Bridge/Original Cultures/ Med School) and myself.
