Mobius

The pair met in the year 2000 whilst running nights and DJing on the Southampton Clubscene, a lasting friendship was quickly formed due to their shared love of the dance music scene in it’s many forms. Ali ran and DJ’ed at the successful Debauchery night in Southampton from 2000-2002 (Voted Ministry club of the south in 2001), and Jon ran a weekly Drum & Bass night – Toast, with the pair also collaborating for the Mixmag Recommended Offshore Boat Parties, fusing many dance styles under one roof. Their DJing work has taken them to many of the South’s top venues.

With these influences in place, plus a long history of DJing stretching back to early Rave & Jungle (Jon), and House & Techno (Ali), the scene was set for them to take this mishmash of styles into the studio. The first track to be completed under the Mobius name is ‘Thugs’, taking influences from Hip Hop, Miami House, Drum & Bass and the contemporary Breaks scene, and adding a ‘clean but grimy’ ethic to their sound, and is due out soon on Ape Music. Other Mobius tracks have been picking up plays all over the breaks scene from DJs including Tayo, Ben and Lex, Kickflip and Richie Balboa. The 601 remix of Thugs has also received plays on Annie Nightingale on Radio 1.

Ali has been heavily involved in the Breaks scene for a number of years, hosting a show on NuSkoolBreaks.co.uk radio, the weekly ‘Mobius Trip’, and currently holds residencies at:

- Mixed Up (Southampton)

- Breakdown (Brighton)

Jon is concentrating on the studio projects at present, whilst Ali still DJ’s regularly and is always on the lookout for new dancefloors to play to. This vastly experienced DJ is well known for his intelligently constructed and technically excellent sets, knowing exactly what’s needed to get the floor shaking!
