"Deep and chunky... On Kong has a good grasp on how to make tracks that are both
minimal and funky and to good effect" BBC Radio One, Onemusic.
On Kong (that's his real name) is a recording artist based in London. His
passion is creating deep electronic grooves in a variety of bpms and styles.
On's early experience in music developed from producing house, drum&bass and
garage beats in his bedroom to composing and producing bespoke music for
commercial use. These commissioned projects ranged from sophisticated ambient
soundscapes for corporate websites to tongue in cheek sleazy minimal tech
grooves for adult films.
In November 2005, On composed and produced the score for Sarkah, an exhibition
of paintings and performance art by Aris Yaacob, launched by designer Jimmy Choo
in London.
Bedroom Beats, released independently in February 2006, is On Kong's first
album.
On Kong's music takes you on a journey inspired by sunrise and sunset, the
seaside, cities, planes, trains, hotels, goodbyes, rain showers, outdoor
festivals, raves, warehouse parties, balmy summer evenings, languid mornings
after, warm duvets and hazy memories of events, places and feelings.
The track "Mother Nature", a seductively smooth groove which mixes old school
funk with space-age ambience, was recently picked up by online radio station
Chillout 2 New York, where it reached number 5 in the listeners' chart at Feb
2006, alongside music from some of the world's finest downtempo artists.
On's latest release, "Too Late", a deep, dubby, minimal vocal track with an
early US house influence, echoing the likes of Larry Heard, Robert Owens and
Raze, also reached number 5 in Soundclick's house chart in February 2006.
Other leading stations to feature On's music include Seattle's OverXposure.fm
and San Francisco's Soma FM. And most recently, Fergie featured On's track "It
Was a Nightmare" on his famous Saturday night show.
But equally exciting for On was the recent thrill of hearing his own sensual
grooves drifting softly from the speakers throughout the sleek lobby and
starry-lit elevators of London's ultrachic Sanderson Hotel... a fantasy setting
for On Kong's music, right up there with an Ibiza sunset!
