Jon1st - Pantone Suplex (Defrostatica Records)

Over the years, we've seen the Leicester and Copenhagen-based artists dip in and out of collaborations, exploring the hip-hop sound with a left-field approach. They make clever use of real-time music-making, vinyl scratching, and an esoteric approach to foley sound design—much of which they tie into creative performances.

Jon1st & Shield are no secret to us here at Rendah Mag, so when we hear about their latest project—we had to dive deep into this. Their latest project titled Focus is an immersive multi-genre EP which continues the exploration of their collaborative efforts over the pandemic.

Diving deep into the heart of underground sonics, Defrostatica Records, the Leipzig-based beacon of cutting-edge sound, presents a stunning fusion of genres in their latest offering. Since its inception in 2015, the label has boldly navigated the realms of Footwork, Juke, Jungle, and Ghettotech; now embarking on a soulful exploration with the "Waves EP" by powerhouse duo, Arcane & Jon1st.

Scheduled for release on May 3rd, the "Waves EP" marks an evocative journey through the soundscapes of Chicago's Juke and Footwork, juxtaposed with Bristol's signature jungle breakbeat.

Today, we're happy today to premiere a favourite from the release, and sit down with the pair for some bold Q&A.

Purchase/Stream: https://album.link/wavesep
Release Date: May 3rd, 2024
Info: Call it Footworkjungle! The hybrid bass music version of Chicago's dance music history of juke and footwork and the Bristol's jungle breakbeat has been coming to life across the globe for a decade now - and Arcane & Jon1st are contributing to it with their second EP on Defrostatica. While Bloodstone EP was an ad-lib-rich, all-out breakbeat assault, the UK duo went deeper on Waves EP, focusing on big emotions over sharp beats. Tears is the perfect floor opener, with a bouncy 808 giving way to a rumbling bassline in love with pads and amen breakbeats. Energy Drink Sponsorship Application is exactly what it says it is. Influenced by juke and tribal breakbeats, Escape Plan becomes more and more captivating. Waves is a cinematic breakbeat journey with the perfect hook.

[PREMIERE] BSN POSSE- Burnin Shoes (feat. Jon1st)

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.
