“Le Jockey is a rapidly rising star on the UK scene. Operating out of Cambridge with his own Horseplay imprint, the man’s passion and drive for music knows no bounds, from throwing immense warehouse parties to firing out a startlingly varied range of tracks at a rate of knots and never dropping the quality ball once. Watch out for his imminent release on Luke Solomons legendary stable Music For Freaks as well as a track London based Multi Vitamins, and brace yourselves for some pumping, tech-laden bounce of the highest order.”
"Fast rising hotshot Le jockey steps up to Fullbarr for this killer package.
This vibe is definitly spannered techno, with tripped out samples aplenty over
rock solid rhythm. 'Estrella blue' is the work of a mad man, while Mark Broom
drops peak time lean ass funk to get booties a wigging"
9/10 iDJ mag review of the Late Nights EP on Fullbarr Digital
With a string
of productions under his belt including a track on Mark-Hennings ‘Clever
Music’ label, London based ‘Beiak Records’ and
Bournemouth/London/Bristol based 'Alt Recordings' as well as the
recently release 'Late nights' ep on Fullbarr digital (including a remix by
Mark Broom) he has performed all over the country in
cities like Leeds, Bristol, Norwich, Bournemouth, London, Exeter,
Cambridge etc at venues such as Café 1001, Rhythm Factory, and at
parties such as Delete, While the Iron Melts, Somewhere, Boomslang,
Click, The Priory, and at Freerotation Festival performing a live link
up with Tom Ellis and Lief for the Alt Recordings showcase.
With support from the likes of Kris Wadsworth, Cederic Maison, Mark-Henning, Terry Francis, Dan Berkson,
Massimo Licari, Tom Ellis, Luke Solomon, Stacey Pullen and Eddie Richards, 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 resulting in the music being
constructed live in front of the audience in real time.
