Originating from the west coast of Sweden. Jonathan grew up in a musically active family. While his older siblings were classicaly schooled, Jonathan set his aim for the newer. His ears almost instantly caught by the early versions of what reaches many people's ears, today.
Fascinated by the artificial, Jonathan soon decided to take a deeper plunge into production. Discovering the power of music software in 1995, Playing around with the crude, but yet effective - so called "trackers". There was simply no turning back. Coretex is now producing in his studio downtown, in the city of Jonkoping, Sweden.

Last.FM says: Coretex from Sweden ignites the peak-hour floor with a perfectly balanced trance formula that takes the old school spirit into the new school sound. Seething atmospherics and percolating synths mesh across the stereo plane, rippled with electro-magnetic acid lines over a pile-driving 4/4 foundation. A must for any fan of Misjah & Tim, Paul Oakenfold, and Paul Van Dyk.
