Half of production duo Full Intention, Jon Pearn is currently enjoying new found success under the name 'Bodyrox' further cementing his name as one of the Worlds most innovative producers.
Having produced the biggest electro record of the Miami WMC 2006 with production partner Nick Bridges, Bodyrox 'Yeah Yeah' went on to become 'the club anthem of 2006' complete with a commercial overhaul courtesy of Luciana Caporaso in addition to two underground dubs from Pearn & Bridges (as featured on Sander Kleinenberg's album) and a rockin mix from D.Ramirez, spurring a new genre of house that journalists are calling 'New Rave'.
After receiving several plays from Radio One's Pete Tong, Trophy Twins, Dave Pearce and Annie Nightingale and relentless support from regional and specialist stations in the UK 'Yeah Yeah' smashed into the UK national chart in November 2006 at number 2 (Radio One Playlist 1, Cool Cuts 1, Shazam Tag Chart 1, Beatport Download Chart 1, The Box Playlist 1).
As half of the infamous Full Intention, Jon Pearn along with Michael Gray had their first Top 40 hit in 1995. The pair went on to remix some of the biggest artists in the World including Jennifer Lopez, Sugababes, Christina Milian and George Michael (for which they received a Grammy nomination in 2005).
2006 saw the official release of 'I Believe In You' on Eye Industries and also a triple cd album "Connected - Ten years of Full Intention" on Defected records. It was at this point that Full Intention decided to take a break so the guys could concentrate on their other projects with Michael going on to have his no less successful top 10 hit with "Weekend"
It was during this period Jon & Nick started their label Juki Records.
With support from the likes of Deep Dish, Sander Kleinenberg, Nic Fanciulli, Mark Knight and many more, Pearn & Bridges debut EP, $treet Price set the standard receiving support from the UK press (5/5 recommended track IDJ - August 2005) and support from Radio One and regional specialists around the World.
In addition to the unique jackin sound synonymous with Juki Records, 2007 saw the 2nd Bodyrox single "what planet you on" become a massive club hit in several countries, further cementing Bodyrox as a wordwide brand
Fast forward to 2008 where Jon has formed some very exciting new partnerships, co writing for Booty luv with Michael Gray & Lyn Goddard.
Full Intention are now firmly back on the scene having just completed a couple of remixes for Defected records, DJ Gomi - "Glad I found you" and the massive Fish go deep - "the cure and the cause".
Michael & Jon are also back in the studio working on new material so watch this space!
Having turned down a number of remixes to concentrate on their own productions, 2008 has shaped up to be quite a year for Pearn & Bridges. Their collaboration with Amanda Wilson 'Intoxicated' was signed to Ministry and 'Play my game', originally released in Summer 2005 under the pseudonym "Raw" has recently been re recorded by a new high priority major label Act.
Their hectic DJ schedule has seen them tour and perform in every corner of the globe as well as providing a mix session for the Radio 1 'Essential Mix'. To top all of this they were also nominated for an Ivor Novello Award.
The guys have since been locked away in the studio working on their new single.
The result, a forward facing BIG room monster, the track is pure main set action with an 'Underworld' style twist. Nick Clow recently featured on Max Linen's 'Neon Lights' (No.1 Buzz & Coolcuts) and has toured all over performing on stage with The Pet Shop Boys. Remix duties are courtesy of up and coming and much talked about producers Nice 7.
Bodyrox & Luciana are busy working on their new album, which will be a little bit different to what you'd normally expect from the guys, there's some very exciting material en-route, vocally it also showcases the broad range of Luciana's Vocal skills.
There's a Bodyrox Live show being organized for Spring/Summer 2009 with an amazing stage set and visuals currently being designed. More to be revealed later.
