Jovonn is a deep figure of post paradise garage era.
He has an abstract and quite straightforward approch when he build songs which can lead when inspired to perfection in that deep house late night underground feeling.
Dirty meets fragile, rough meets elaborate .
His instrumentals are really intersting for the people who wants to mix deep house without cheesy vocals ...
In the hyper coded world of dance music where every style often suffer of a lack of drive and personality, he stands unique.
