Jonny Loves House is a live electronic house music artist, DJ, producer and independent music label based in Brighton, UK.
A multi-instrumentalist and experienced musician he takes his influences from a wide range of sources from the blues to techno, creating all the elements of the grooves himself to create his own un mistakable disco-tinged underground house sound.
An experienced performer of live electronic music, since 1995, Jonny has been using an ever changing selection of hardware and software to jam live his grooves. From the early days of using an Atari ste, Kawai k11, 4-track tape recorder and guitar fx unit to the computer free fully hardware sets using samplers, drum machines and synths, his sound and performance techniques are constantly evolving with the technology around him.
Jonny’s current live set utilizes ableton and a selection of midi controllers including the novation launchpad to give a truly hands on feels with the flexibility to improvise and arrange tracks on the fly making each performance raw and fresh.
Moving to Derby in the late nineties Jonny was exposed to the thriving midlands underground house scene. Loving the local deep house sound and influenced by local sound systems such as Smokescreen and D.I.Y his productions started to follow suite. Setting up Jonny Loves House in 2003 with the release of a few vinyl white labels, EPs such as ‘Seasonal Affected Disco’ and ‘Dreadlocked Summer’ were well received by those in the know and covered positively by DJ Mag and Deep House Network.
Jonny’s move to Brighton in late 2003 saw a shift to Live performances and DJ sets, getting to grips with the vibrant south coast city he has gone on to perform at most of the venues, collaborating with some of the most exciting local party collectives including; Zapatilla, Pollen, Inside Out, Playgroup, Reform as well as festivals including Brighton Live, Waveform, Glade Festival and the Rocket Festival (Spain).
