MUSIC & REMIXES
Live at Ageha, Tokyo, Japan, 2007
My first release Trainwreck was snapped up by Judge Jules who released it as a co-production on his recent artist album Bring The Noise in February (2009). My second, a remix of MOTOR’s current single Death Rave, was picked up by T Raumschmiere’s Shitkatapult Records and Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records and came out in June.
My next production, a remix of Lady B’s upcoming single Believe In Me, comes out on French label Interférences this December; for more information, please email me at jonty@skrufff.com

Xaver Nadascha: “Killer mix you made. I am playing Berghain tonite can you shoot over a 320mp3 or WAV. Would love to tear up the place with it. I’m not a Motor fan at all but you gave it just the right rave factor.”

Press & Blog Reviews:
“Check out Jonty Skrufff’s remix of the mighty ‘Death Rave’; fully deserving of the tag ‘Masterpiece’.”
Electronic Beats Magazine: Germany (print magazine)
————
“Evil EBM-spiked techno from Motor backed with a Jonty Skrufff remix. ‘Death Rave’ is made for the big techno rooms with a succession of peaking synthlines driven to breaking point. ‘Metal Machine’ on the flip digs into a tough EBM groove with reinforced percussion and a sinister melody, leaving Jonty Skruff to repoint ‘Death Rave as a more tempered builder with subtle filtering to change the dynamics of the track. Brutal.”
————
“Words cannot do justice to this. trust me and download. one of the best techno tracks you will ever hear.”
————
UhOhDisco.com, USA
“Brace yourself: Death Rave brings a whole new meaning to the word “disgusting.”
————
Metro Times (Detroit, USA)
“Resident Advisor calls some of the new MOTOR material “almost like KISS gone rave,” which might be slightly over the top. But just slightly. We recommend you download “Schism” or “Death Rave” onto your iPhone, put on your headphones and jump up and down on your bed for hours on end.”
————
“The new single from MOTOR, “DEATH RAVE”, is out TODAY (Digitally on ITunes, Beatport, & other digital retailers) on DIM MAK RECORDS. This is an acid techno monster of a track that rocks. HARD! Depeche Mode says that ‘Death Rave’ is a “stunning track”.
