RSTRCTD artist of the first hour, Leslie Jones started his musical career as a singer/mc in a cover band.
While Electronic Dance Music (EDM) started to grow more and more fame, he did not hesitate to embrace it.

In the hay days of this period Leslie came back
to his electronic dance music roots. Where old software like Fast Tracker was quickly replaced with the likes of Rebirth, Fruity Loops, Reason and Cubase.
Ending up with the DAW that suited his needs he teamed up with James Dan to their first joint venture called ProtoCult. Big beats with game like element synths were combined to create  explosive pieces such as Exiztence.

It wasn’t until 2007 when
James Dan and Leslie Jones thought about the RSTRCTD concept, on which you’re reading this page. 
While sprouting too many ideas in Ableton Live, James Dan reintroduced Leslie Jones with his love for turntabels and vinyl. 
It was quickly after this introduction that the duo went to record their first back 2 back DJset, called “Restricted Sessions – Private Minimal”.

This led to the epic four episodes
of the “Progressional Education” installment, all were based in the genre Progressive House. 
At the last episode Leslie Jones came back to his love and natural habit for selecting prime deep house/tech house and techno tunes that can be found on the Restricted Sessions podcasts elsewhere on this site.

Gig claims to fame:
