New Video: Jon1st & Shield vs Sam Binga

Earlier this year Sam Binga invited Shield and myself to perform a live rework of his track, Bruton Bazaar, which has just been released on his Pineapple Records label. It was the last thing we recorded IRL together before everything went into lockdown and it’s exciting to see it online in its finished form! A big thank you to our friends Lasse Lund and Dan Hankinson for their assistance with various video production elements along the way too!

New Mix: Currents FM x The Footwork Jungle Guest Mic

New Release: Rose Point on Worst Behavior Records

It's with great pleasure that I can share my first proper signed solo production release, 'Rose Point', as part of the new Worst Behavior Vol 3 compilation, which is out on Bandcamp on Friday. Link available in comments below. Special thanks go to Anna Morgan and Bell Curve for picking the track up and for being such good people to work with!

It's our favorite time of year! NYC/LA-based Worst Behavior Recs is back with their third annual compilation, "Worst Behavior, Vol. 3" and we couldn't be more excited. With the expert guidance of producer/DJ/promoter/label bosses Anna Morgan and Bell Curve steering the ship, we watched Worst Behavior come speeding out of the gate in 2018, and that momentum has shown no signs of slowing. With three compilations and several single releases under their belt, featuring BnC favorites like DJ Madd, Sinistarr, Samurai Breaks, A. Fruit, and many more, the label's output has been consistently high-caliber. When we think of uptempo bass music imprints in North America, especially in that sweetspot between footwork and jungle with a touch of rave and soundsystem culture, Worst Behavior is undoubtedly holding the torch. Our premiere today from their third compilation offering comes from another BnC favorite: Leicester, UK's Jon1st. After originally gaining popularity for his phenomenal turntablism (see his 2013 Online DMC World Championship title or official routines for folks like Ivy Lab for credentials), Jon has been focusing more heavily on production the past several years, and it shows. His work with Copenhagen-based Shield has taken the global beat music scene by storm (if you have a chance to catch their live performance, don't miss it!) and his collaborations with folks like DJ CRAZE, EAN, and BSN Posse have been running the circuit in DJ sets and radio shows all over, too. However, today's offering comes in the form of the debut solo production from Jon1st, "Rose Point". A melodic double-time tune clocking in at 160 bpm with touches of amen breaks and footwork percussion that will be sure to get you moving in your seat, "Rose Point" was more than worth the wait for solo Jon1st material. Check it out below and be sure to pre-order the full release in the Buy link, which drops this Friday, August 7th, 2020. @worstbehaviorrecs @jon1st
