Biography // Jontey

Jontey — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 15:00:52 +0000

From the beginning of 90’s rave stuff till todays club culture, electronic music has always influenced my life somehow. I really got into electronic music after hearing some artists like Prodigy, Dj Shadow, Amon Tobin and realised it was the breakbeat that combined those artists. Between all commercial and non-commercial music cultures, I found Drum&Bass. This was the beginning of my search in music and art.

Producer ‘career’ Jontey (original name – Joonas Ylitalo, 22) started at 2002, when I first time tried to arrange a simple 2-step beat together. Passionate producing came few years after I had learned how EQ’ing works and how important sonic balance is in a mixdown. My musical background consists few years of playing piano and learning music theory. Music production is so far only a hobby for me, releasing material has never been my goal.

My music is mainly based on soulful melodies, rolling ravedrums and mellow atmospheres. The main idea I usually try to achieve in a tune is that it sounds groovy and tries to catch the listener with something emotional and comforting in it. Tune has to sound good no matter where you are listening to it from. Drum’n'bass has always been the bullet in my head though many other genres are likely too. I am constantly widening my view’s to other genres aswell. Good example is the latest project, a house collaboration with DJ Flight.

Currently I am collecting improvisation out of everything. Having fun in the studio and diggin breathtaking samplebits still keep me passionate to what I’m doing.
