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's passion for music can be heard throughout his work as well as in his personality. Always open minded Jonny's influence are broad. Spanning across 80s pop culture and the 90s dance music scene, plus what close friends describe as ‘an unhealthy obsession with hero Sasha’ - you can see where Rebel pulls direction from. Hailing from the historically conservative Buckinghamshire, it’s not hard to see where the thirst to step away from the norm came from. After 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. In 2004 he moved to Leicester and began his musical journey quickly becoming a regular at the cities infamous Sonido parties before launching his own venture in the form of Save The Pony. 2013 sees the launch of "Tough Luck Records", Jonny's own imprint (Alongside friends Chris Cue and Twon) with a clearly defined ethos, tough, raw Techno and house. It's first release, REbEL's "History" EP was immediately picked up by the likes of Loco Dice, Stacey Pullen, wAFF, Adam Shelton, Bloody Mary, Jozif and more. It also received Mixmag's "Techno tune of the month" for August 2013, scoring 9/10, surely a sign of things to come from TLR. With a vast array of unreleased material lying dormant in his hard drive and a continuous drive to make music, promote parties and push his label, Jonny will surely continue to work hard and succeed in an ever evolving scene.

I'd like to dedicate this mix to anyone and everyone who has supported me on this journey so far, anyone who has danced to or played any of my records. Without you I wouldn't have got this far today. So massive thanks to you all!!. The mix itself includes some of my favourite tracks over the past few months and. It also includes my latest release 'Frigid' on Moan and a new track Im currently working on called 'All For The Music' as well as some fresh music from some good friends of mine and some of my main inspirations and who i would like to give a big mention: Burnski, DJ W!ld, John Dimas, Javier Carbalo, Adam Shelton, J.Cub, Andrade. Hope you all enjoy the mix. Peace and Love James.
