General information

Producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ, J-Felix cut his teeth in an eclectic range of bands and musical projects including playing guitars for Alice Russell and more recently, Wrongtom and The Ragga Twins.

Growing up in Bristol, he was keen to find the sources of so many samples he found in DnB and Hip-Hop and later got into soul and funk particularly that of the P funk variety.. Eager to create his own sonic stamp, J-Felix decided to steer away from samples in his own work, instead often layering up recordings of his own vocal and instrumental performances. Self-taught on a range of instruments including drums, guitar, bass, keys and synths, he has a pretty impressive selection of sounds to choose from at his fingertips.

After releasing his debut P-Funk, soul and Boogie laced album in June 2015, J-Felix received massive support from NME – 8/10, BBC6 radio, Don Letts, Huey Morgan and Mary Anne Hobbs as well as Apple Music. Remixes for Tru-Thoughts label mates, Werkha and the Hot 8 brass band also soon followed.

With his full live band, J-Felix has since supported sold out shows with the likes of Roy Ayers, Chinese Man, George Clinton and The Hot 8 Brass band. He’s also an eclectic selector, having DJ’d Glastonbury, Love Supreme, Sounndwave and Shambala Festivals to name a few, J-Felix spins music from on the soulful spectrum from Hip-Hop through funk to house…
