Jens Bond is a master of finely balanced rhythms. In
his percussion †tracks he brings beats to life like no
other – every beat is in place, even the background
sounds are carefully arranged to brings the track
forward. He brings percussion to perfection. In his
youth he was a †drummer and toured with several bands
before he got sucked into the †melting-pot Berlin. The
solid musical background formed his career as a DJ and
Producer and helped him to stay on top of the
competition in Germany’s capital City of electronic
music.
Jens Bond made himself a name as a DJ and producer in
Berlin, where he is a resident at the infamous
Watergate Club and on several dance floors all around
Europe. His hand for the right sound at the right
time plus his sixth sense for the right rhythm played
their part in his success.
His nose for crisp rhythm patterns and his faible for
hypnotic melodies make in his own productions stand
out. His various releases on Berlin’s most prolific
labels as Pokerflat, Sender or Highgrade, not to
mention on the English imprint Immigrant Records,
speak for themselves. His tracks cum all over the
floor with airy funk, without ever being all too
functional. It’s no big surprise that Bond belongs to
Highgrade core artists, he plays a major part in
defining the label’s sound.
But that is not all. His releases with Benno Blome (as
Bond & Blome) or with Guido Schneider are very
popular. His debut with Schneider on Pokerflat - "Oh
my buffer" - from back in 2004 still fills the
dance floors today. Bond is all but a flash in the
pan,
his releases are catchy and solid. He keeps us in
suspense about his musical future, his mission is far
from being accomplished.
