Jonni Hey presents Tribal Fusion 02 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Jonni, who hails from Wakefield in northern England, has performed as a DJ and promoted dance events for almost 30 years, beginning in the early-1990s rave scene. His career highlights include playing alongside Seb Fontaine and Richie Fingers at the Rocket in London, as well as appearances at Megatripolis, London, and Notting Hill Carnival for Pendragon.
Jonni then spent three years in Venezuela, where he created full-moon beach parties, played live on La Karibena radio station and appeared at its festival for 6,000 attendees, while his mix was also played on La Mega, Venezuela's number-one radio station. He subsequently moved to Mallorca, Spain, where he played in pre-club bars and at private villa events.
After his time in South America and Spain, Jonni relocated to Koh Phangan, Thailand, where he has been based since around 2006. In Koh Phangan, Jonni creates monthly conscious dance events and also spent a year as resident VJ at the Half Moon Festival.
Jonni's house music styles range across funky, groovy, uplifting, Afro, tribal, old skool and progressive house. At the time of publication, he was a resident at Rise Ecstatic Dance at Pyramid Yoga, Koh Phangan, and co-hosted Evolve events, Pulse Pool Parties and Yogasmic Boat Parties.
Jonni Hey's Tribal Fusion 02 episode opens with Blaze, Louie Vega and Elements Of Life's Love Is On The Way in its Roots Mix, bringing House Music from Vega Records into focus. El Mundo and Satori (NL) follow with Kheysa feat. Fat Fingers on Bla Bla, before Mihai Popoviciu's Travelling Without Moving on Still Hot deepens the Deep House feel.
Sautufau's Le Vent Nous Portera appears on Hysterical before Dean Zepherin's Saison Remix of Soundclash arrives via No Fuss Records. That run leaves room for the listed Claude Challe and Adam Plack cut Carmenita Lounging, then moves through Marc Brown's Let It Touch feat. Kgaogelo without forcing unsupported genre detail onto either record.
MEZERG's Welcome Theremin on MZRG introduces classic, Detroit and modern Electro character, following Maylee Todd's listed remix of Hieroglyphics featuring The Makeover. Soul T, Loftsoul and Nadine Caesar bring Freedom from Makin' Moves alongside Peter Funk's Turnaround Funk on I Records Classics, before The Bahama Soul Club and Brenda Boykin's Smoove Remix of No Words gives the sequence a Nu-Disco turn on Jalapeno Records.
Risk Assessment and Queen Rose's Dance With Me on No Fuss Records leads into Marc Cotterell and Dominic Balchin's Deep Inside for Groove Culture, with Mr. Moon and Mey's Sebb Junior Extended Remix of Timelapse following on Puro Music. Michele Chiavarini's Express Yourself feat. Carmichael Musiclover sits before Matthias Meyer's Infinity on Liebe Detail, where the programme reaches Tech House.
Charles Pierre's Iglesias 2020 Rework of Euphoria on Distance Music returns to the deeper side of the selection, before Coherence (ES) brings Origen from Sol Selectas into Organic House territory. Black Coffee's Turn Me On feat. Bucie on Highscore Music adds Electronica, while Angelo Ferreri and Moon Rocket's Cantaloupe Island on Mood Funk Records and Prunk's Through The Walls on PIV keep the dancefloor focus intact.
Shur-I-Kan's This Situation on Lazy Days Music provides the final confirmed deep-house marker before Holter and Mogyoro's We Were Wild Once feat. Farewell Dear Ghost. Time Square and Xavier Rudd close the listed programme with the Alex Cruz Remix of Follow The Sun, allowing the set to finish on its own open-ended melodic note.
