Getting To Know Gravity

Jon FD (The Focussed Distraction) is a DJ, producer, musician and songwriter. 
For his live performances he's settled on placing himself in the unique position of a one man band with the aid of a looper, guitar and various other electronic effects modules. 
Drawing on eclectic influences like Matthew Dear, Caribou, LCD Soundsystem, Death In Vegas and Aphex Twin, helps him stand out as an utter phenomenon, creating a scenario of enchanting and unique sounds whilst looping melodic and rhythmic layers.

In the past his tracks have received airplay from Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio 2), Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1), Tom Robinson (BBC Radio 6 Introducing), Simon Raymonde (Amazing Radio UK) and Gill Mills (Best of Myspace Podcast).

"A surprisingly full sound from this one man and some pedals band – intriguing samples, solid structure and a nice line in layering vocals and effects." - GILL MILLS (BEST OF MYSPACE)

"The things this man extorts from loops and effects will inevitably give rise to the formation of the pedal protection register. With mind boggling variations of sound at his disposal and a few high profile shows now under his belt... the world needs to wake up to the talent of Jon McLeod. A rare bird indeed." - NO FICTION
