"Deep and chunky... On Kong has a good grasp on how to make tracks that are both minimal and funky and to good effect" BBC Radio One, Onemusic.
On Kong (that's his real name) is a London-based recording artist specialising in deep, sophisticated electronic grooves.
On's early experience in music developed from producing house, drum&bass and garage beats in his bedroom to composing and producing bespoke music for commercial use. These commissioned projects ranged from sophisticated ambient soundscapes for corporate websites to tongue in cheek sleazy minimal tech grooves for adult films.
In November 2005, On composed and produced the score for Sarkah, an exhibition of paintings and performance art by Aris Yaacob, launched by designer Jimmy Choo in London.
Bedroom Beats, released independently in February 2006, is On Kong's first album.
On Kong's music takes you on a journey inspired by his love of sunrise and sunset, the seaside, cities, planes, trains, hotels, goodbyes, rain showers, outdoor festivals, raves, warehouse parties, balmy summer evenings, languid mornings after, warm duvets, bizarre television documentaries and hazy memories of events, places and feelings.
On's music has been featured on radio stations around the world, including New York's Chillout 2, San Francisco's Soma FM, Seattle's OverXposure.FM and the UK's BBC Radio 1, as well as on Radio 1's "Best of Unsigned" podcast in April 2006, which is dedicated to showcasing the UK's best unsigned music.
