Julian Jonah

In the late 80's, London based musician Julian Jonah produced a series of titles that left an unforgettable impression in the growing early-house and acid landscape of the time. Not simply an answer to the first wave of house productions that were flowing out of Chicago at the time, Julian Jonah, along with A Guy Called Gerald and Baby Ford, was part of a movement of UK producers that created the soundtrack to the foundation of the first underground house clubs and warehouse parties in East London and Manchester. In 1988, Julian Jonah produced 'Jealousy & Lies' during the last couple hours of studio rental still available that day. When the title came out on Cooltempo that same year, it created such hot and explosive wave, that producer Billie Ray Martin used it as an inspiration for 'Talking With Myself' by Electribe 101. Two years later, Julian offered to Billie to collaborate on a new title. The result was named 'It's A Jungle Out There'. Early UK house at its very best.
