In 2006 Jon sat at the forefront of this ethos by running the world renowned Intec Records on behalf of Carl Cox, taking the label into new musical directions and expanding on what the label had already built. While running Intec records, Jon busy DJing schedule continued but being in this position helped Jon expand on what has been a success in A&R within the label as well as work on his own productions.

By night, Jon sits in his studio, his production outputs are busy and as in-demand as he is as a DJ. In 2006 Jon has remixed tracks on Cox’s latest artist album ‘Second Sign’ in both House and Drum n Bass styles as well as being responsible for one of the freshest techno tracks ‘Dirty Disco’ on the Intec label. His releases have been supported heavily across dance music from the likes of DJs Paul Van Dyk and Danny Tenaglia, John Digweed and Ben Sims. In February 2007 Jon released an EP on Trevor Rockcliffe’s Mentor label, being the first artist other than Rockliffe to ever appear on the label. A huge Rundell remix of Bad Clock by Sébastien Leger has been hammered by Cox and Van Dyk, Jon’s remix of Get What You Paid 4! By Carl Cox & Saffron (from Republica) was commercially released and charted highly in America in March 07. In Summer 2007 Jons latest release ‘The London EP’, including tracks ‘Rock’ and ‘Nemesis’ have been in the playlists of many. Jon continues today to balance work, with Djing and is working on some really exciting forthcoming productions. Keep your ear to the ground!

Gig highlights of 2007 include The Gallery, London in January, Jakarta in February and touring with Carl Cox on the Future Music Festival Tour in Australia during March, taking in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Auckland and Sydney. August 2007 saw Jon play at Live at Loch Lomond Festival in Scotland as well as gracing the decks of the new terrace at Space in Ibiza, for the Carl Cox ‘King of Clubs’ night, Mondaybar in Stockholm and Danny Tenaglias ‘Ace of Clubs’ night at Space in Ibiza for a second time.

“I think Jon’s a jewel in the crown. He’s really great with the crowd and his music. He’s been a great support to me. Put him in front of 30,000 people and he really goes for it. He naturally warms the crowds up. We always discuss what we’ll both be playing and he goes out there and does it. At the moment he’s better than most top DJs I could mention.” Carl Cox, March 2007.
