[Download] Jonti - "Hornets Nest"
Feast your ears on this delightful Frankenstein of a number, "Hornets Nest" from Sydney's Jonti. I love how many elements come together to pull off this sound. Typically with this many different samples coming together it would come off noisy and a little too experimental for my taste, but he handles all the chaos with great control and reins them in to make something very calm and dancy at the same time.
For his upcoming debut album, Twiligig, he recorded everything himself from start to finish. Since then he's recorded with the likes of Mark Ronson, Santigold, Sean Lennon, the Dap-Kings and producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Kurt Ville). The album is slated for release on October 18th via Stones Throw.
Be sure to check back for more updates on Jonti, as I'm sure I will continue to be obsessing in the coming months.
