Track five off the EP "Till the End of the Earth".

TILL THE END OF THE EARTH is the result of a continuing evolution of James Halon’s approach to Melody-centric electronic/dance music. Initially starting with more minimal, darker Melodic Techno and progressing into deeper House music (Melodic, Progressive, Organic, etc. / pick a sub-sub-sub-genre). James’ influences of production aligns deeply with music he discovers and DJs during live streams, sets and shows.

Yet, even as James’ focus narrows when it comes to playing music, there is still a wide swath of influential music and sounds which continually impact the music he makes. From 80’s New Wave, 90’s Grunge, to more modern Indie Rock & Dance (AFFKT, the XX, LCD Soundsystem, Youth Lagoon, Future Islands), these all play a part in expanding and refining James’ approach to making music.

The seeds of this project started well over 2 years ago, but James couldn't figure out how to finish a collection of the tracks at the time. He parked them in his idea vault to be used for another day. Around a year later, James was working on a new track, which became “No Matter How Far”, and had a conceptual breakthrough which led him returning to the vault for further inspiration.

Fundamentally, what cracked the code was a return to his Indie Rock roots. James got this idea to add lyrics and vocals to the tracks. This isn't some revolutionary or even novel idea for the genre, but personally putting his voice out is a more vulnerable approach to creativity.

These five tracks are still firmly rooted in Progressive & Melodic sounds, but bring together Indie Rock & Dance inspirations both sonically and lyrically.

Galexis Live Set 2024 @ agrippina studios, Cologne

Madloch's Sound Avenue imprint presents the sixth installment of it's 'Correlation' series. Released in August of 2017, the inaugural edition featured a unique blend of untapped talent along with industry veterans, resulting in a cohesive fusion of artists from across the world. The label's borderless music policy was also well represented, showcasing a wide spectrum of electronica, from organic house to melodic house and deeper progressive grooves. In past editions, Sound Avenue has kept the track selection concise, with an average of just ten submissions making the final release. The continued growth of label affiliates 3rd Avenue, Crossfade Sounds, and Future Avenue have propelled the label's demo submissions exponentially across the last years. Add to that, a continually expanding music policy, and the 2024 edition of ‘Correlation' was finalized with eighteen beautiful selections.

Featured on the release in alphabetic order: ALKA, Audiofive, Ben Pierre, Christopher K, Dhany G, Ekis Ekis, Emiliano Ferrareso, Eugenio Sanchez Moreno, Exe Cruz, Fede Archdale, Federico Puentes, Fleanger, Gaspar Aguilera, Invisible Sounds, James Halon, Nick Newman, Papfay, Specifik and Stephen K Cal.

01. Jono Stephenson - Midnight Sun Feat. Haptic (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
Returning to Purified Records with a powerful and emotive cut, South African producer Jono Stephenson delivers his sought-after original Midnight Sun featuring Australian vocalist Haptic. 

Five years after hearing Haptic’s vocals on a collaboration with Fideles, Jono Stephenson unites with the Australian talent to deliver Midnight Sun. Diving into a progressive soundscape with captivating synth work and rumbling bass, this striking arrangement is juxtaposed by serene vocals, exuding a deep and poignant atmosphere. Demonstrating its commanding presence on stages around the world, Midnight Sun has already become a firm favourite with audiences in Jono Stephenson and Nora En Pure’s recent performances from ULTRA Miami to Purified Johannesburg, and has received support from industry leaders, including Cassian, Fideles, Korolova and Miss Monique. 

Speaking about the release, Jono Stephenson mentioned, 

"Midnight Sun is a project that Haptic and I have been working on to perfect for quite some time now and we are delighted to finally release it!"

PREMIERE: Jono Stephenson - Midnight Sun Feat. Haptic [Purified]

My latest set was definitely crafted and recorded live with inspiration during my recent show in Isla Mujeres, México w// RITUAL. 
It’s filled with an electric blend of house, afrobeat, indie dance, and some progressive vibes. This quite dynamic mix will take you through pulsating, partly sensual, and deep moods.

Based in Riverside CA, past residences in San Diego CA, San Francisco CA and Dallas TX.

Starting out under the moniker DJ3 circa 1996, James Halon was a resident at Record Resource and played events in Denton and Dallas TX. Moving to San Francisco in 1999, James started weekly events with For The Music & helped found the music side of False Profit.

James ran the sound system for False Profit at 43 Norfolk and put on many amazing nights at the warehouse. He has also joined forces and played with many crews and venues, including Dub Beautiful, Ambient Airlines, Space Cowboys, B-Family, Eklektic, Future Breaks, Tenderloft, Tags Trance Trip, GrooveTech Radio, Anon Salon, Trust, Wish, Mighty SF, DNA Lounge, 1015 Folsom, and many more.

2004, James co-founded Cedub Studios and moved away from DJing to focus on production and engineering for local artists. During this time he helped create and launch Fake Science as a podcast, then expanded to online digital music distribution and A&R. He produced tracks under the Cell Culture act with Chris Walcott. He also produced tracks as The Clockmakers with DJ Yap, under the moniker DJ Bespoke.

In 2009, James moved from the Bay and headed to San Diego. After taking a longer than expected break to settle into his new home, James is built out his studio and has returned to producing and DJing. Starting in 2020, James began weekly live streams, featuring new, classic and original tracks focusing on all things House x Techno. In the summer of 2021, James was invited to become a resident of the San Diego based collective Digital Cocoon.

In the summer of 2022, James once again packed up and this time moved to Riverside, CA. There he has been able to expand his music studio and streaming rig, allowing him more time to write, produce and play music. He still regularly travels to San Diego to support and participate in Digital Cocoon events and other area shows.
