In recent times Jon Convex has been somewhat overshadowed by his former Instra:Mental sparring partner Boddika. However, despite his somewhat lower public profile its not as though Damon Kirkham aka Jon Convex has been sitting around licking his wounds, far from it. He has put out a number of critically received 12’s on respected labels such as 3024, Naked Lunch and his own Convex Industries, whilst all the while preparing the release of his debut solo album IDORU. If that wasnt enough Jon Convex has also found the time to design all the artwork for the new album, create an accompanying audio visual live show and record a sumptuous mix for XLR8R. Like George Fitzgeralds mix for XLR8R the beats ebb and flow beautifully between deeper and more jacking moments, incorporating house, bass and techno themes throughout. Highly recommended.
