Ruckus Podcast 004: Rebel (Lower East/Digital Delight)

Ruckus Stockton's Podcast

Unlike many weird and wonderful names in music, this one couldn’t be more descriptive if it led a revolution. Never one for conforming, following or holding back, Jonny ‘Rebel’ Lawrence is here to leave Mr. Rulebook quaking in his boots! Hailing from the historically conservative Buckinghamshire, realising his passion for music and all things artistic at a young age, Jonny had found the ammunition he needed to flourish from a wayward boy to a rebellious leader. Noting influences spanning across 80's pop culture and the 90's dance music scene, plus what close friends describe as ‘an unhealthy obsession with hero Sasha’ - you can see where Rebel pulls direction from. From perversity to university, Jonny lit the city of Leicester alight with his take on anything deep, dark, bass driven and underground – leading to support from Birmingham to Barcelona! Summer 2011 arrived and Jonny was now a regular at Leicester-based shindigs SONiDO and his own co-creation; Save The Pony. The future then went from bright to a ‘Digital Delight’ as Rebel was signed to Sishi Rösch’s Barcelona based imprint. Add to this a whole host of support from the likes of Miguel Puente, Sishi Rösch, Lee Brinx, Alexis Raphael, Max Chapman, Wildkats and many more, plus forthcoming EPs on Lower East, Hourglass and Electronique in 2012 and one thing is for sure however… whether you’re a renegade or conformist you’re about to start hearing a lot more about this Rebel force!
