Described by that magazine as “the leader of the new sound of house”, it’s clear that Jones is widely considered a genuine pioneer in the dance world. He and the sound he’s developed have been earmarked as being at the vanguard of a movement that has aimed to break away from the shackles of the minimal techno sound that emerged from Detroit in the nineties and had come to dominate perceptions of the genre; instead, Jones’ take on techno is a very different beast, aiming for lush instrumentation and a greater focus on melody to make techno, a genre long known for its clinical approach, seem warmer and less calculated.

His project with his friend Lee Foss, Hot Natured, has exposed an entirely different side of Jones’ approach - one that has been proven to be chart-friendly, with their single ‘Benediction’ having made the top forty in his native UK. His festival resume, meanwhile, proves that he straddles both the underground dance world and the mainstream music sphere; he’s played at Tomorrowland and Glastonbury to a rapturous response, respectively the most revered events in those two fields, and he’s also achieved the seal of approval for any dance artist - frequent summer residencies in Ibiza.
