BB maintains the Montreal-Melbourne connection with this new one from Ennio Styles’ Heard and Felt label. Also based in Melbourne, Jonny Faith has been more known for hip hop and broken beat in recent times, featuring in Gilles Peterson's Best of 2020 with music from his 'Night Lights' EP. Now Jonny takes one of the tunes from that EP and reframes US MC Lady K’s slinky soulful rap and hooks with a funky junglist groove. This new version is from 'On Lock', surprisingly Jonny’s first full jungle/D&B EP, despite having roots in the music going back to 1990s Edinburgh, and putting out a variety of beats since the early 2000s. He even shared labels with Peshay, Om Unit, Reso and Kid Drama along the way. Elsewhere on the EP 'Open My Eyes' sounds like Amerie’s '1 Thing' gone jungle, 'Create' is atmospheric drumfunk for the headz and 'Nuthin' But a Jungle Thang' is a vinyl-only flip of a G-funk era classic. The scene has emraced Jonny Faith's take on jungle/D&B, with love from Hospital Records, Rupture (Rinse FM) and René LaVice (BBC), as well as his previous supporters like Andrew Jervis (Bandcamp Weekly) and Rob Luis (Tru Thoughts).In keeping with the label’s name and ethos, a handful of the 150 vinyl copies will come with a die-cut ’Nuthin’ But a Jungle Thang’ felt cover with embroidered Heard and Felt logo tag.

Genre: drum & bass, drumfunk, modern jungle

With music from Jonny Faith's recent Night Lights EP appearing in Grand Theft Auto and best of 2020 lists including Gilles Peterson's, you might think Jonny would continue to mine his take of hip hop and broken beat. Well, all in good time. He's been ready to enter the jungle for 20 years, and he's not waiting any longer.

Now based in Melbourne, Jonny first got involved in music in Edinburgh as a DJ and turntablist in the 90s. He got hooked on jungle and drum & bass in those days from hearing DJ Hype spinning in Newcastle, seeing the Roni Size/Reprazent live show with two drummers and hanging out at cult Edinburgh club night Manga, where residents G-Mac and DJ Kid hosted the likes of Marky, Grooverider and J Majik.

Jonny was keen to start making his own sounds, signing up for an electronic music production course. But the course seemed to be more house-oriented. Sampling was not on the curriculum, and the students weren't allowed to touch the Akai S900, the sampler used in many classic early jungle/D&B tunes. When Jonny did start releasing his own productions in the mid-00s, he was starting to explore the experimental hip hop beat scene at the same time Flying Lotus and Hudson Mohawke (another Scottish turntablist) were also getting started.

Jonny continued to widen his sonic palette, adding elements of dub, jazz, funk, electronica and broken beat, and picking up fans like Radio Nova Paris, KCRW, Vice and Clash Magazine along the way. But he's never been more than one degree of separation from his jungle/D&B roots. He has continued to buy and play the music, done the odd D&B remix and snuck sonic elements and techniques into his tracks at various tempos. Over the years his releases have shared labels with the likes of Peshay, Om Unit, Drumagick, Reso, Kid Drama and Danny Scrilla.

Now, more than 20 years after those early experiences in Edinburgh, Jonny unveils his first jungle/D&B EP, On Lock. And it sounds like he's been making this music the whole time. In a way, he has.

The single 'Open My Eyes' bursts out the gate, chopping not only the breaks but also the soul for a tune that sounds like Amerie's '1 Thing' reimagined for the 174 BPM crew. We've heard hip hop maestro Just Blaze making house (and it rocks). Maybe if he made drum & bass it would sound a bit like this. Actually, the tune is the happy accident that led to the whole EP. As Jonny explains:
'I was trying to make a hip hop beat for a new live routine on my MPC, but the beats didn't sound right. So I kept the soul chops but swapped out the headnod beat for some jungle rhythms and it brought the track to life. The rest of the EP flowed really quickly from there.'

Next up, Jonny tries a similar trick on his own boom bap tune 'Stay in Your Lane' from the 'Night Lights' EP. His new Step Off Mix totally recontextualises US MC Lady K's slinky soulful rap and hooks with a tough and funky junglist groove. One for fans of the old Roni Size/Bahamadia collab. 'Create' then spaces things out just a touch, bringing atmospheric drumfunk that should find room in the crate next to Paradox, Fracture and Neptune. Vinyl bonus track 'Nuthin' But a Jungle Thang' layers cascading amen breaks, timestretched vocals and a massive double bass-line over the wah guitars and synth whistling of a G-funk era classic.

With early support for Jonny Faith's take on jungle/D&B coming from Hospital Records, Rupture (Rinse FM) and Fanu (Metalheadz), Jonny is ready to be welcomed (back) into the scene.
