Biography
Reimx wise, Jon has worked with some of music's biggest names, from right across the musical spectrum; U2, Manic Street Preachers and the Prodigy (with whom Jon toured as a DJ). But it's probably his remixing of lesser known artists that has yielded the most satisfying results- Selectah's 'Wede Man', 'Cubik' by 808 State and last year's treatment of the Sugar Hill classic Breakdance Boogie by West St Mob. Most recently it's been tracks by the likes of Luke Slater and Felix Da Housecatt getting the Carter touch whilst his remix of a new Mekon/ Roxanne Shante tune is due out later in the year. The latter three have been linked by a fierce uptempo drive but at the other end of the scale Jon has also excelled- and nowhere more so than his delicate reworking of the Beach Boys genius 'God Only Knows' which crept out almost unnoticed as a DJ promo and has been in demand ever since. Although currently in the process of putting together a new live project, the live incarnation of Monkey Mafia, which gigged almost constantly in 1997-8, proved to be a great success, supporting first Roni Size & Reprezent and then Massive Attack on nationwide tours. 1998 also saw the release of the Monkey Mafia album 'Shoot The Boss' which was a Mixmag album of the month and universally critically acclaimed. Ranging from the almost symphonic disquiet of 'The Whore Of Babylon' through to the achingly beautiful soul of 'As Long As I Can See The Light', the album was a triumphant tour de force as well as Jon's swansong on Heavenly, whom he left for a return to Wall Of Sound and their new House music offshoot Nu Camp.
