Laura Jones’ second EP for Visionquest ‘Eskipade’ takes a more serious turn for the respected female producer. Featuring two hypnotic, rattling acid tracks together with a remix from Sweden-based techno producer OCH, this is the sound of her stepping into new shoes.
“Ive been known for making tracks heavy on melodies and synth riffs but the next tracks you’re going to hear from me are a bit more stripped back and raw. A bit more rave ready and underground and inspired by all the records I’ve been buying over the years. I know a lot of people in this industry go a long way from churning out the same thing over and over again but that doesn’t really interest me. We are always evolving musically and I’d rather keep moving forward than stay on the same page.”
After a summer living in Ibiza playing regularly for DC10, Laura Jones makes her return to London on one of her home labels, Visionquest. As a DJ she tours relentlessly at venues such as London’s fabric as documented this summer by Marie Claire. With over twelve years of piano training and three in cello and clarinet, Laura understands the dynamics of composition away from the bedroom computer with releases on key labels such as Leftroom, Visionquest and Crosstown Rebels.
As a remixer she ́s earning a reputation for breathing new life into house classics like Romanthony´s ´Let Me Show You Love,´ Hollis P Monroe´s ´I´m Lonely´ and Todd Terry´s ´Bounce to the Beat.´ In between the studio and the Dj booth her unique stage presence has made her one of dance music ́s most unforgettable discoveries.
OCH has been an active figure within the UK music scene since the 1990s. Globally he is recognised for his unique yet jackin’ signature sound which has appeared on premium house and techno imprints such as Trelik, PAL SL, All Inn, Bass Culture, Sect and Systematic.
