Chelonis R Jones

Ivan Smagghe needs to sign to Get Physical. I believe Justus Kohncke is a friend of the label.

So so hot!

Not Get Physical, but do you like Lopazz's "I Need Ya" Ronan? I've had it for ages on that Koivikko mix but I've noticed that it's been officially released with some remixes. It's pretty representative of everything that's great about that electro/disco/micro interzone that's firing right now.

amazing! had a weird experience at work today, this dude asked what was playing when I had the Get Physical mix on, I told him and he said maybe he'd come back, it sounded really good.

Then the strings in the above track kicked back in and I thought "jesus that's good, I wonder will he come back and buy it now". and he did!

YES!

DJ T-Phantomas is unreal, it's a 4/4 track which is a whisper away from schaffel, with the most minimal pitch bent acid bassline just droning through it. You know a track like this has done it's job when you feel you could listen to the "hook" for 15 minutes straight and the "hook" is actually 6 seconds long.

(NB this track probably sounds best in the context of the mix!)

The mix as a whole strikes me as a slightly sexier, slightly more mainstream version of the second Poker Flat comp - which perhaps isn't surprising as DJ T has released stuff for them too.

Barima otm btw, "Blackout" is great.

It's been released on 20/20 as "Get Physical Presents DJ T". Robot Riot is ace, similar to if not quite as good as "Phantomas", sort of electro bassline acid house again.

The Kohncke mix is ace, really shivery and slow-building.

This is point blank amazing! The DJ T live set I just downloaded is unreal, key track is The Jackals-Jack Ain't Back, which was released last year on Déssous.

If you have any love for Chicago House, and I know lots of ILM do you have to get this stuff, it's so exciting!

sorry try this, and you will see what that is

I see what people mean about 'availability' re: this label. Mind you it is "limited edition".

i met chelonis in berlin. (i interviewed him for the german newspaper die tageszeitung...no clue if it's come out yet.) he's a really nice guy...we totally bonded. also: he's a huge smiths fan!

now that pfork has claimed all these blogger dudes for "this week in...", could i make a motion for tim finney to make a "this week in tim finney's electro-house bobbins" column? I, for one, would certainly pay tim in gifts, ala experimental videos/mixes and other doohickeys for such a column. All in favor, beg "please please please"...

me first... "please please please"

:(((((((((

Hint, hint, I want them up. But, if somebody else wants to do them for me.

also, this is one of the best albums i heard this year.

dammit i was coming here to post the spelled out stuff and jaxon beat me to it by oh 3 months.

i was driving around with a friend last week with "middle finger music" playing and he complained (with this really bitchy tone of voice) that it was very "electroclash". so i mumbled something about prince and turned it up. what i should have said was something along the lines of how DG is post-electroclash and wipes the floor with nearly all of it.

It's absolutely gorgeous, soft-hearted, weepy Chelonis.

Just a heads up for you Emusic subscribers, it available there (no promo).

I sat on the Huntemann feat. Chelonis single "Terminate the Fire" (on Dance Electric) for a while because I didn't like the sung choruses on the "A" side and felt the instro on the "B" to be missing the good vocal bits and noticeably so. Maybe it's too late, dancefloor tastes are so fickle, but I just re-edited the two sides together to get my ideal mix of vocals. Get it here if you're interested (320k).

Hell remix of DEEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS still kills the old way

4GOTTENFLOOR - The Forgotten Floor
Posted on Monday, October 13th, 2008 at 4:16 pm to News

4GOTTENFLOOR is the new Chelonis R. Jones project. His velvety voice, laying somewhere in between soul and rock, has seen him compared by the international press to the likes of Prince and Lenny Kravitz and has seen him grace releases on Get Physical including his debut album ‘Dislocated Genius’ (2005) and guest on releases from Royksopp, Tocadisco, Marc Romboy, Booka Shade, Huntemann and Franz & Shape amongst many others. Neverlethess, until now, he has remained pretty much camera shy, yet Chelonis R. Jones is considered by many inside the industry to be the “next big thing“ of electro pop thanks to his natural talent, a volcanic creativity, a glamorous, intriguing and unconventional personality and that emotional voice.

On 4Gotten Floor he teams up with Italian production maestro and DJ Alex Dandi* (also known for his productions on Irma Records as Pinktronix) to bring us a new vision of electro-soul. Dandi has spun in hundreds of clubs in Italy throughout the 90s, emerging with his distinctive eclectic style and since 2003 he has released a countless number of 12”s and the album “Right On Delay” (Irma Records).

4GOTTEN FLOOR is the amalgamation of two different studio forces uniting as one on the floor…an abandoned dance-floor. The psychiatric ward of a Miami jail (ninth floor). A different debut album from everything one can hear on the radio or in clubs today. A different way to make pop, electronic music, soul, R’n’B and disco.

On ‘4Gotten Floor’ soul and R’n’B are freed from any stereotyped formulas and meet minimal and fragile electronica, captivating and sophisticated, outlining catchy melodies and enthralling grooves, even when taking on new experimental roads of sounds. At the end of the minimal tunnel, a glimmer of hope, a light, an emancipating renaissance, a cathartic gospel. The 4Gotten Floor.

*additional percussion played by Swayzak’s Francesco Brini.

this 4gotten floor thing is FUCKING GOOD

"a new vision of electro-soul"

tynan??

his tracks on the marc romboy record from this year are really good

compared by the international press to the likes of . . . Lenny Kravitz

Thanks for ruining Chelonis R. Jones for me.

Otherwise I think I might buy the deer in the headlights remix 12" this weekend, maybe.

it is a must.

'dislocated genius' easily still the best thing on GPM, so i hope the new thing is really good. lol @ electrosoul, tho.

that Tennis Hero song "Alone" is SOOOOO good, more like that would be awesome

Ha ha, Chelonis bit my head off when I made a reference to Green Velvet in an interview, I wonder how he would have responded to Lenny Kravitz.

New album sounds pretty good...

ned is that 'chatterton'? i didn't even realise he had another record coming out. (this one's on romboy's label.)

that's it, and yeah, it's nice.

Are people listening to Chatterton?

i am! quite an interesting and impressive record but at the same time kinda...not really fun to listen to repeatedly?

I too. Really enjoying it - Sounds like a cross between Terence Trent D'arby and Coil (circa Love's Secret Domain). Pity about the album cover.

New album preview:

I'm predicting that "How To Entertain Your Coloured Friends" is a track title that's going to pique a lot of interest on LastFM.

Dislocated Genius sounds really great in 2025, feel like it should be better known among younger people? idk? super great paranoid funky cyber house.

i agree! was listening to it frequently a few months back and included "one & one" in a club dj set. people enjoyed it
