Julian Jonah

In the late '80s, London based musician Julian Jonah was suffering of extrasensory perception, as he produced a series of titles that left a lasting impression in the 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 1987 Julian Jonah produced "Jealousy & Lies" during the last couple hours of studio rental still available that day. When the title came out on Cooltempo the following year it created such hot and explosive wave that Billie Ray Martin used it as an inspiration for "Talking With Myself" by Electribe 101, the group then recently formed around the German singer. Two years later in 1990 Julian offered Billie to collaborate on "It’s A Jungle Out There".
