Jhobei

Jhobei’s knack for creating animated productions is not something that happened overnight; he has tirelessly worked on developing his innovative and particular sound throughout a large chunk of his life. The London-based producer continues to blossom in recent times, co-founding the prolific Bizarre Trax brand, propelling his solo productions on various outlets, and is one-third of the dynamic Felon5 trio which has been shining brightly in recent times. His deep and emotive yet danceable sound has seen him land on labels such as Chris Stussy’s Up The Stuss, Gene On Earth’s Limousine Dream, Mood Waves, Truly Madly’s Mindhelmet label, and Picnic Records whilst putting out various EPs under the Felon5 moniker on Berlin-based outfit, LowMoneyMusicLove with an EP and debut LP, Slovenian collective, LuckIsOn, and they launched their own Bizarre Trax vinyl imprint with their sought after “The Chronicles Of Mucky Trace” EP, with the next edition firmly in the pipeline. His storytelling DJ sets have seen him receive call-ups from the likes of FUSE, Chris Stussy and No Art, stopping off in hotspot cities such as Berlin, New York, Amsterdam, Paris, and Madrid to name a few. Whilst maintaining a certain impression amongst discerning dance music diggers and refined tastemakers, real name Jobe Elliott-King has also turned out some eclectic downtempo productions on Markus Sommer’s Pager Records, an EP that goes by the name of “Designer Recliner” an exploration of the smoother end of the spectrum, something that is explicitly more than second nature to him. The recognisable sound of Jhobei seems to be perking the ears of many, and rightly so, his enriched productions drain influence from his past endeavours of groove, funk and soul, and this energy breathes life into his modern-day twist on quirky dance floor textures.
