Interview with J-One & Night Tracks 012: Guest Mix & Free Download

J-One is a producer that has really impressed me since I discovered his music. He’s had releases on Spanish label AvantRoots and Phaeleh’s label Urban Scrumping. His remix of FaltyDL’s “Brazil” far surpassed the mighty original and he’s taken some time out to answer a few questions, and he’s been kind enough to give out a mix and free download.

NT: Hey man, can we get a quick introduction for the people that might not have heard of you yet?
J: My name's Simon Jones, I live in a small seaside town in Kent. I produce music under the name J-One and make web sites for a living. So far I've had releases on Urban Scrumping and Avant Roots.

NT: You’ve released 3 albums (including one for free, big up!) so far. This kind of goes against the grain of a lot of dance music producers, who tend to release 2 tracks at time, even if only digital. What was the thinking behind this?
J: There was never really an initial decision to make an album, but I think it all happened quite naturally. My release 'Fragments' on Urban Scrumping started off as an EP, but the track list was in constant evolution up until release and we had to narrow it down from 15 tracks in the end.
