Jason Mundo

Featured as one of URB Magazine's "Next 100" in 2000, (URB Magazine's annual list of outstanding musical artists to watch in the years to come) Jason Mundo has since performed headlining gigs of Breakbeat, DrumnBass, and UK Garage / 2-Step all across the U.S. including upstate New York, California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, New Mexico, Washington, Louisiana, North Carolina and all across Texas.

In May, 2004, Mundo took his widespread stateside exposure across the Atlantic for his first two London, UK performances: May 1 at Club Vision (Mix n Blend May Day Spectacular), May 5 at Trapp in the West End and at the Red Rooms-Ealing (Old Skool Garage Sessions Part 6) for Mix n Blend and Black Ops on May 6.

While in London, Jason was also interviewed on BBC 1XTRA on Richie Vibe Vee's "The Blueprint" show. Mundo has also returned to the UK to make multiple return apperances at Charlie Chan's and Club Liberty.

In Dallas, Jason Mundo holds a Sunday night UK Garage / 2-Step residency at Groovology in Dallas, Texas. Groovology, the best electronic dance weekly in Texas as voted by TEXASBEATZ.NET in 2002, is THE LONGEST RUNNING UK Garage / 2-Step weekly event in North America. It has recieved mention in both URB and Mixer Magazine and has hosted MJ Cole, Martin Liberty Larner, Richie Vibe Vee, Zed Bias, Deekline, Messiah, DJ Q, Lady B-Line, Lisa Unique as well as many of the North American UK Garage DJs as guests.

Jason Mundo's production is also steadily gaining underground acclaim. The July/Aug 2001 issue of URB ranked him among "five of the most promising up-and-coming two-step producers here at home." [URB, July/Aug 2001]

In addition, three of Mundo's new tracks have been included on the Transatlantic Bass mix cd on URBAN RENEWAL RECORDS that celebrates the sounds of the annual "Transatlantic" UK Garage & Breakbeat showcase of the Miami based, Winter Music Conference. Two of the three tracks have received UK radio airplay including "Swing It Brother" by Richie Vee on BBC 1xtra & "I Stand Rasta rmx" on Rinse FM by Kode 9. Transatlantic is available from: CD BABY

Jason's House track, "Deep Rhythms", will be released on MVM RECORDS in mid-2005. MVM is a rising eclectic house label with releases by Brett Johnson, Mystic Bill, & Mes.

In September 2004 Jason Mundo, Arthur Hincapie, Tricia Nyikos, and Thanhyen Nguyen organized the first North American GARAGE CONFERENCE, an idea that stemmed from a conversation between Mundo and G Notorious at WMC that previous spring. Garage Conference is the first independent music conference in North America focused on a single subgenre of electronic dance music (hiphop excluded). The focus of Garage Conference is UK Garage and GC 2004 was host to UK Garage DJs, artists, and promoters from 5 states and 3 countries in its first year (September 3-5 2004) with events and gatherings over the 3 day weekend. The event was a success resulting in an interview Live on BBC 1xtra 09/08/04. Media coverage was provided by BBC 1xtra and Feedback Magazine-Dallas. Garage Conference will be the first weekend in September every year to come (Labor Day holiday weekend in the U.S.). See you in September 2005.

With a list of new productions completed, along with recent DJ performances in London, UK, Seattle, North Carolina, Baltimore, the Winter Music Conference, Los Angeles, Nashville Tennessee, Massachusetts, Santa Fe New Mexico, New Orleans, and Atlanta, Jason Mundo will continue to rise, spreading the sounds worldwide and pushing UK Garage in Texas.
