JON K

SOUNDCLOUD

RESIDENT ADVISOR

BANDCAMP

Labels: (MAL Recordings)

A stalwart of the underground music scene for over 20 years, Jon K has proven himself a pioneering force in contemporary British dance music with sold out mixtapes for many labels including TTT / Cav Empt / $hotta Tapes & Reel Torque.

When he’s not running MAL Recordings (alongside Elle Andrews) or pulling together his monthly 'Peking Spring' show on NTS Radio, you’re most likely to catch Jon K playing raucous DIY spots and hubs across the world, from London, Marseilles, New York and Tokyo to Manchester’s The White Hotel where he is currently a resident of the Mire parties.

In 2016 Jon moved into curation with the acclaimed Equiknoxx ‘Bird Sound Power’ LP released on DDS which he compiled with Demdike Stare alongside creating all of the artwork - the record had very vocal support from an incredibly diverse audience and (as well as it's 2017 follow up 'Colón Man') was widely recognised as being a major catalyst in the left field dancehall explosion of recent years.

Having operated somewhat under the radar since the late 90s, his wide-ranging expertise and vast array of influences makes him a highly adaptable and original DJ - we could try and tell you what to expect, but maybe that’s not the point.
