Jondi & Spesh - With the release of their 3rd artist
album "The
Answer" on Spundae
Records, Jondi & Spesh have established themselves not only as internationally
renowned dance music producers, but as two of the most innovative electronic
music artists from North America. The San Francisco Examiner described "The
Answer" as an "impressive collection of hook-laden pop-prog rockers
and exquisite, breaks-driven dreamscapes". The SF Chronicle chimed in
with "[an] almost lounge-sounding aural kaleidoscope ... groovy, danceable,
and eminently listenable machine pop." BPM Culture called "The Answer" "A
bona fide eye/ear opener, and a top draw one at that." Urb Magazine described
it as "minimal majesty."
Well known in the U.S. since 1994, Jondi & Spesh burst onto the international
scene in 1999, first with their massive west coast progressive anthem, “We
Are Connected”, then shortly after with a full length album of the same
name which received glowing reviews and became one of Muzik magazine’s
top 40 albums of 2000 (ahead of Madonna). The Jondi & Spesh discography
includes over forty singles and remixes on labels such as Bedrock, Renaissance,
SOG, Mechanism, and their own label Loöq Records.
Music videos from both "The Answer" and "We Are Connected" albums
have aired extensively on MTV, and have received awards at film festivals around
the world. Their music has also been featured in feature films (Groove the
Movie [Sony Pictures], On_Line [Indican]), in television shows (CSI on CBS,
Jake
2.0 on
the WB, Spark on PBS), in video games (Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2, Kaido
Battle), and in television commercials.
In addition to their production work, Jondi & Spesh run the west coast's
top progressive music label, Loöq Records (www.looq.com) as well as hosting
San Francisco's original and longest-running electronic music happy hour, Qoöl
(www.qoolsf.com) which was rated by Citysearch.com as the best happy hour in
the United States and has been featured in San Francisco magazine, Muzik, Urb,
and the SF Weekly.
While Spesh has been DJing for fifteen years and is one of the most respected
and loved DJ's in San Francisco, more recently Jondi & Spesh have been
tag-team DJ'ing and have already headlined and received massive crowd reactions
at clubs in the UK, Germany, Norway, and Holland, and well as in North America
for their Spundae/Godskitchen "The Answer" tour. Jondi & Spesh
also host a monthly show on Proton Radio, and have been guests on Thump! radio,
Aaron Axelson's show on Live 105, John Digweed's KISS FM show, as well as
on college radio stations around the country.
Jondi & Spesh are now firmly on the map as two of the world's most innovative
and risk-taking dance music producers. Dubbed “two of America’s
finest” by Muzik magazine, Jondi & Spesh continue to offer up both
top-notch underground dance music and sublime electronic-pop landscapes.
