Kone-R

“a dexterity few dj’s can harness” (One Week To Live)

“one of London’s true gems” (Fabric)

Kone-R is the man behind the Uncharted Audio record label, which has introduced the likes of Cursor Miner, LJ Kruzer and plenty of other weird and wonderful sonic tomfoolery to the world.

Manning the turntables since 1992 when he discovered the joy of warehouse raves, the spirit of that era lives on in his sets today, with a liberal sprinkling of techno, house, breakbeats, ambience and plenty of low frequency oscillations. Despite the length of time he’s spent in the booth, he maintains a cutting edge – you’re as likely to hear him drop fresh dubplates by up and coming acts alongside the latest cuts from Berlin to Detroit as you are to hear vintage hardcore, classic disco and timeless electro. Resident saturday night DJ at Ginglik in West London since 2004, he has appeared at most of London’s top underground clubs, including Fabric, Elektrowerkz, Jacks, Wang @ The Premises and Turnmills – as well as more esoteric spaces such as the Institute of Contemporary Arts and the Hayward Gallery @ the Southbank Centre.

His radio career began in earnest in 1995 when he joined the team of the fledgling KUBE radio station at Keele University, holding down the saturday night prime time dance music show until he departed in 1997. Since then, appearances on the likes of Resonance FM, Groovetech and Worldwide FM, as well as the occasional ‘Kone-R-cast’ have kept those presentation skills tidy.

Expect all the latest and greatest sounds from across the board of electronic music during Kone-R’s Wednesday night (8-10pm GMT) slot on Future Music.
