Mr. Monkey Mafia, Junior Cartier, or just plain and simple Jon Carter – whatever the name, he’s been one of our favourite DJs since back in the days of the legendary Heavenly Social parties in London. From his earlier days engineering for drum & bass producers like Trace & MC Rhyme Time at pioneering label No U-Turn, through his residency at the Social alongside the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Norman Cook and Andy Weatherall, to his seminal work in the big beat era for labels like Wall Of Sound through to more recent studio forays for the likes of Tim Sheridan’s VeryVeryWrongIndeed label, he’s remained a consistent force in dance music for many moons now.
As for DJing – well, if you’ve ever seen him play, you’ll know that he is one of the most sure-fire dancefloor destroyers in the game, delivering a bruising selection of house, techno and electro in one slick, intense package. Enjoy his block-rockin’ mix and be sure to check him out at a club near you soon.
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
The last one with the Superstition sample on it. A new style!
What’s the special ingredient in this mix? As ever, hopefully diverse rhythms that aim at the butt.
What’s the best gig you’ve played recently?
Had a great one in Dubai recently, but never had sex on the beach
What have you got coming up? (PLUG PLUG PLUG!) More tunes out under the name Gentleman's Agreement. The next one with Andy Chatterley called 'Resist'. And gigs at Cream on Boxing day, and Dubai again on NYE. There's a whole load of dancehall flavoured tunes for next year too. Again under Gentleman';s Agreement with Alex Blanco.
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Peace on Earth, and goodwill to all men. Oh, hang on. That's next month isn't it!
