Natural Rhythm Podcast 05 - Le Jockey

Things are really heating up here at camp NR. Just under 4 weeks to go and we continue our podcast series with none other than Le Jockey. Johny Davies aka Le Jockey: Johny has been producing music for a few years now, but has been involved in music since his childhood. He is extremely competent on the violin and percussion and when he was a child was head chorister of Jesus College Chapel Choir. These days Johny mainly focuses on writing electronic music and has had releases on a string of record labels. He has featured in iDJ magazine and on the cover CD of their July issue. His productions have recieved critical acclaim from artists such as Tim Sheridan, Mark-Henning, Luke Solomon, Massimo Licari and Ed Davenport to name a few and receive regular club play across europe. 2009 looks set to be busy for John with dates confirmed already in Bristol, Bournemouth and London throughout the year and releases on Beiak records and Fullbar Digital coming up over the next months. With a new residency at Rhythm Factory along with DJ Largo and Alex Sullivan for their Beiak Records label party London is a regular fixture for Johny in 2009. The backbone of Johnys work has to be his somewhat unique approach to his Live PAs. Taking music in its component loops and using Ableton to arrange and structure them live at the same time manipulating the loops through chains of effects results in the music being constructed live in front of the audience all in real time. With a constantly maturing sound which spans from techno through to minimal there is always a sense of well structured movement throughout Johnys productions with high production values and attention to detail. http://natural-rhythm.co.uk/ https://natural-rhythm.ticketabc.com/events/festival/
