House music is life and broken down to its simplest form, life is merely a compliment of time and numbersand somewhere between the 1 and the 4 J.A.M.O.N. (a.k.a. Jamon) expanded the space to fill the manipulated gap with dimensional beats and layered bass lines. While we sleep, he makes beats.
Prepare yourself. From this point on, house music will never be the same.
Seven years ago, J.A.M.O.N.s initial promoter, Slow Motion Music mogul, and Austin, Texas, legend Lance Cashion walked into a house party and experienced J.A.M.O.N.s unique style for the first time. I immediately noticed his funky individual style. It wasnt any run-of-the-mill music, Cashion said. People just couldnt get off the dance floor.
J.A.M.O.N.s upbringing is rooted in soul music. He received his first drum set when he was eight-years-old. Soon thereafter, he joined his father and brothers on the pulpit stage playing drums, keyboard, and bass guitar. As he reached his teenage years, J.A.M.O.N. took his expanded influence from De La Soul, Das EFX, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, EPMD, and Gang Starr and discovered his affinity for the turntables. He would sneak out of the house and into clubs and house parties to feel the energy exchanged between the DJs, the music, and the dancing crowd.
While still in high school, Austin took notice of J.A.M.O.N.s new-found talent. He was asked to play at house parties and functions for black fraternities and black sororities at the University of Texas at Austin. In 1995 he began spinning records at clubs in downtown Austin, as well as started producing hip-hop tracks with the Disgruntled Seeds, a group he formed with his brothers and a friend.
While producing and spinning hip hop, J.A.M.O.N. cultivated a love for house music. Searching for a way to combine both genres, he found inspiration in Derrick Carters mix of house music, hip-hop, funk, soul, R&B, and gospel music. Carters mixing style opened the door for J.A.M.O.N. to explore new kinds of music, and he hasnt stopped creating ever since.
J.A.M.O.N.s successful two-year residency, B.L.A.K.K., continues to heat up Friday nights in Austin. His infectious blend of thick, funky, jackin beats has made this residency one of the best house-music weeklies in Texas. J.A.M.O.N.s played alongside such legendary DJs as Derrick Carter, Boo Williams, James Curd, JT Donaldson, Halo, Mark Grant, Neil Aline, Q-Burns Abstract Message,The Sound Republic,Dj Heather, Thomas Sahs, Eddie Spettro, Alexander East, and Jake Childs,K!nk,Jay West,Johnny Fiasco.
J.A.M.O.N.s music shatters the question Can you dance to my beat? and works more like a rhythmic punch-in-the-face-wake-up call commanding you to dance, move, and breathe. His studio work has been unleashed and promises to make a definitive impact on the electronic dance-music industry and all its facets. written & edited by daniel estrada

Here is the first of two mixes I'll be releasing this week. It starts
off funky, gets into some funky soul stuff, and then goes kinda old
school West Coast House at a certain point. Then it all kinda finds
it's way back home. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I
enjoyed making it!
