Sounds Like
Deep & propulsive with one eye on the funk & one eye to the heavens...
The J-Lab story began in 2003 when Jon Dickens, the man behind J-Lab began a live techno project based on improvisation. After 2 years of gigs home & abroad, the guys at the After-Dinner net label got him to stay out the clubs long enough to complete the Bout Time EP on www.adrecordings.com.
The J-Lab sound floats in a territory that sits between detroit, minimal and electro, informed by a deep love of dub and funk.
2006 saw a further live release on www.adrecordings.com, and the 'Ghostwalkin' track appeared on Metroline's downloadable compilation album 'Metro Buskers Vol 1' (www.metrolinerecordings.com). A live set recorded live at Run in London in January 2006 is available to download at www.runsounds.com. Jon also contributed bass guitar to some of Katzo's recordings. A winter's break in India 2006-07, saw J-Lab perform a live set in Goa. March 2007 saw the release of the 'Radiophique' EP on Brazil's up & coming Motronic netlabel & in the autumn a J-Lab track found it's way on to an alt recordings release entitled 'Not Another Netlabel Vol2', available at http://www.deletetechno.com/alt.html

I didn't end up making it to Shunt the other week and now in a bit of a cash flow situation until next payday.
Going to Sonar in a couple of weeks, but i'm gonna try and head over to Shunt sometime after I get back. Will you still be around? Would be good to catch you there for a wee boogie.
How are things with you? Any more tracks in the works? Are you gonna upload that track you've been working on with your friend from Berlin?

Also how's 'Somewhere' getting on any word from AltR?
