A prolific producer, his body of work – including 2000’s ‘Neighbourhood’ which is now hailed as one of the all time UK Garage tracks and saw a remix from Roska in 2009 – has seen regular rotation from the likes of Annie Mac, Benji B, Toddla T, Mary Anne Hobbs and Gilles Peterson, particularly in recent years with the resurgence of the 2-step sound. The 10 track Boss sees Jones go deeper than previous releases, delivering a modern meditation on house music crafted from, in his own words, “many late night conversations with Loefah, Chunky and Roy Davis Jr about music and our inspirations; from Chicago house and Detroit techno, to dub reggae and 80′s boogie.” Indeed Swamp81 MC/producer Chunky and Chicago legend Roy Davis Jr both feature on the record for stand out moments on ‘Flamm’ and ‘We Are There’ respectively. “It’s been good to reflect,” Jones continues, “and come back with a new attitude in 2013.” The Boss album artwork was shot on location in Dungeness by Will Bankhead (Trilogy Tapes, Mo Wax).
