Jondi and Spesh: Fri December 10th @ The Mark | **FREE w/ RSVP!!**
 @ The Mark
Friday December 10th, 2004
Jondi & Spesh (Spundae, Bedrock, Renaissance) San Francisco
For over a decade Jondi & Spesh have put out dance tracks of such stunning quality that the world’s dj elite have gone to great lengths to hunt down their unique underground sound.
When Jondi met Spesh at a party in San Francisco's South of Market district in 1993, neither realized that the meeting would eventually take them to the creative center of the San Francisco dance music community and put them on the map as two of the world's most innovative and risk-taking dance music producers.
Ten years later, Jondi & Spesh have a music label with over twenty releases (the Loöq 12"'s get praise and play from all the biggest - Digweed, Oakenfold, Sasha, Tong, Tenaglia, etc.), an extremely popular event (Qoöl, the world's first underground dance music happy hour) going into it's eighth year, two full length albums with the highest critical praise (see press pack), and a third album to be released on Spundae Records that may very well unearth them from the underground and put them solidly into that "strange yet widely appealing" category currently inhabited by the likes of Radiohead, Björk, and Postal Service.
JD Moyer (Jondi) and Stephen Kay (Spesh) are an unlikely pair - wildly divergent personalities that combine in the studio to creative a creative alchemy : electricity is converted into pleasing noise. For them, music is about connecting to people ... even their most twisted production ideas have warmth and accessibility.
The new Jondi & Spesh album, "The Answer," stays true to their previous work with minimalistic melodies and lush, complex production, yet diverges stylistically with big hooky choruses on several songs, and sublime female vocals on others. The sound palette is organic and unique, with timbres morphing among vocal, synth, and analog natures.
Muzik gave their album We Are Connected “Top 40 Albums of the Year”.

"What Jondi and Spesh do so well is make tracks that will rock small intimate gaterings as well as large enormo raves" URB
