You guys dropped some of my favorite tracks ever. Glad this had CoMa on it. Best of luck with your future endeavors!

Its sad to watch you go, but I look forward to your new Matchbox Orchestra tunes! The 2 current ones are in my top 5 favorite songs at the moment.

i'll miss you :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

im so late on this lol. you were one of the first dubstep producers that i heard and loved. you are among kings in my book. thank you. 

This may come as a surprise to most of you (even though i havent even posted in nearly 3 months now!) but I've thought long and hard about this over the last couple years and I'm in a place right now where it just doesn't make sense to continue with Dubba Jonny as a project anymore.

This project has been a lot of fun and I've got to do a whole lot of crazy shit I never ever thought would be possible, I've played around the world as a headline act, released with some awesome labels, been on TV and the radio across the world, got several million views on youtube, remixed and worked with some crazy artists, and that's genuinely amazing but things kind of got to a point creatively about a year or 2 ago where what I wanted to write/release and what my fan base/labels etc wanted from me were completely different things. 

I'm now at a point where creatively speaking I feel there's nothing left for Dubba Jonny. I've even tried over the last few months to write one last track to go out with but I honestly can't even find the inspiration to do that, everything I've done over the past couple years has been a compromise between doing something super dark and weird and miserable (as per my general taste in music) and something more commercial or club friendly and it's just become an increasingly unsatisfying experience for me as a whole. 

As well as this, the whole lifestyle that comes with being a DJ doesn't resonate with me anymore. My life used to be about partying as hard as I possibly could and it all fit with that perfectly, these days I dunno if im getting old before my time or its just that I over did it and have lost interest, but it's not for me. The stress of making a living from music has been a bit much for me too, there are people everywhere ready and willing to fuck you at the first opportunity and it can and will happen to anyone, and has happened to me a couple times. I've actually decided to start working again recently and just start making music as a hobby without even giving 2 shits if anyone will ever hear/like/buy/release it and I'm honestly the happiest I've been in years as a result.

At the risk of sounding super cheesy I want to sincerely thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for everything, any fans who've checked out my shit, come to a show or bought my music, any promoters who've booked me, any labels who've released my stuff, any DJ's who've played my stuff out etc etc. without you guys none of this would have happened and I'm so massively grateful I've been able to have this experience. 

This is absolutely 100% NOT the end of the line for me musically, I'm writing a shit tonne of material right now, both as Matchbox Orchestra​ (new single should be coming in the next 2/3 months) that I am really excited about and literally itching to get out there. With a bit of luck I should have some free bits coming out really really soon. As well as that I have Glass Cobra​, a DNB project I am one half of with my good friend Russla. We're currently working out our first release, and have a ridiculous amount of material for this too! I'm even working on a 3rd super weird project as more of a hobby that i'll be sure to post soon, I honestly don't know wether anyone will like it or not though lol! 

Anyway, thanks so much for everything and I really hope you'll follow my new projects, I genuinely believe I'm now writing the best stuff of my life. I also have a fat back log of unreleased dubba jonny tunes I'll give out for free soon once I've sorted through them. 

For now, here's a track that didn't make the album i did with CoMa​ I really liked.
