      :::Know Your DJ:::

      ::: JONÉNÉ :::



            One of the seminal artists in the funky disco house scene San
Francisco has become known for, Jonny Phelps, under the production name
Jonéné, has played a key role as an artist, promoter and producer for more
than ten years.

            Jonéné first became involved in music in the early 80's as a
member of several New Wave bands, including Deep Squared. He made the
transition to DJing in 1992, influenced by several friends who were
experimenting with electronic music, including one of San Francisco's most
beloved house DJs, Mark Farina. He was immediately drawn to the soulful
sounds of house. "It is infectious," enthuses Jonéné. "It gets into your
veins."

            Well known for his deep, funky house laden with disco beats and
smooth grooves, Jonéné says, "I see my music as dark and sexy
I go from
laid-back vocals to heavy bass lines to bouncy stuff. I like to keep it
flowing and energetic."

            In 1996 Jonéné landed the residency that helped launch his
career, performing monthly at Stompy Stomp, one of San Francisco's most
famed house events. The monthly deep house weekly featured such residents as
Tasho, Derrick Carter and Mark Farina, and it became a cornerstone of the
San Francisco scene.

            His exposure skyrocketed in 1997, when he landed a major sponsor
in the form of Extra Strength DJ Company (ESDJCO). He became a resident at
their Invitational events, giving him the chance to play alongside
international talent such as Mark Grant and Little Louie Vega.

            He continued to add residencies to his growing performance
resume, including Thursdays at Kit Kat, a nearly 13-year-old weekly in San
Francisco where he has been paired up with such artists as John Howard,
Miguel "Migs", and Garth since 1997; Wednesdays at Bug N' Out, the
longest-running Wednesday night house weekly in San Francisco, where he has
maintained a residency since 1996; and the celebrated Saturday night event
Release at 1015 Folsom, San Francisco, CA, where he has maintained a monthly
residency since 1998.

            During the late 90's as Jonéné was beginning to amass
residencies; he also began touring extensively, picking up club dates all
over the U.S. and around the world, including stops at venues in Europe and
the Far East.

            Performing live remains his first love, "I absorb everything
that is around me, and I put that into what I am playing," he notes. "I
really love to feed off the energy of the crowd."

            Always balancing a steady stream of releases with a hectic
performance agenda, Jonéné has released material through numerous U.S. and
European outlets since 1992. His tracks have appeared on such imprints as
Belgium's celebrated Aroma Records, the Midwest's up-and-coming Muzique
Boutique label, Cider, i Records, Tronicsole, and his own labels Panhandle
Records and Safe In Sound Music.

            Many of his original productions have arisen from collaborations
with other artists. His most frequent partner has been Tony Senghore, whom
he teamed up with on several remixes and EPs, along with West Coast house DJ
Wally Callerio, under the moniker "Shady Agents."

            In 1999 Jonéné and Tasho, the innovator behind Bug N' Out and
fellow Stompy resident, joined forces to form Panhandle Records, because he
felt there was a "definite void to fill of domestic house, and I thought we
could really contribute to that." The label's first press, "San Francisco
DJs come home", featured a mix of some of San Fran's finest house DJs,
including Lance Desardi, Miguel "Migs" and Gemini.

            A flurry of releases followed, showcasing the funky, chunky West
Coast beats he was becoming famous for, with critically acclaimed tracks
from U.S. artists Mark Farina, JT Donaldson, and Tony Senghore. Rapidly
becoming a hot new outlet for house music, international talent Inland
Knights and Swirl People would follow suit and release material on the
label.

            After three years of success at Panhandle, Jonéné cut ties with
the label and relocated to San Diego. Looking to take a fresh and different
direction, he began working on two new outlets for his musical vision; a
lounge that would provide a new venue for house music, and his solo imprint
for funky new material, Safe In Sound Music, which he launched in December
2001.

            With only six releases to its credit, the fledgling label
already has a hit record: the track "Dem Bitz," collaboration between Jonéné
and Senghore that has earned widespread radio play. The popular track has
been licensed twice: by East Coast Boogiemen for their 2001 mixed CD "Live
at M3," and by DJ Sneak for his 2001 mixed CD "DJ Sneak's Ju Ju Beats."

            Although he has relocated to Southern California, he still
considers San Francisco and its scene home, and he will make room in his
schedule for visits as often as possible. I have played all over the globe,
and some of the best music and talent reside in San Francisco," says Jonéné.
"I love coming back home and playing for my hometown crowd. My love and
passion for San Francisco and its music will be in my heart and soul
forever."
