About Me

Recon aka Jason "Recon" Coons, music producer, mixer and engineer. Hailing form Oakland, has been on the scene engineering projects for Game, Giorgio Moroder, Keith Forsey, Billy Idol, Jesse McCartney and Venessa Hudgens to name a few.

Recon tells his story: "It all started with breakin way back in the day. The musical movement was tracks like Afrika Bambatta "Looking for the Perfect Beat" and Herbie Hancock's "Rocket". My first 12inch was "Tour De France" and it cost a quarter to the bus then. High School was fueled by Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim and NWA. Soon after High School I enlisted in the Navy. During that time I became a total raver. While learning how to hit head shots at a 1000 yards I also learned how to mix two records at the same time. From house to techno then ultimately landing into drum n' bass. When I got out (of the Navy) I returned to Oakland created the Redemption Jungle Soundsystem and started playing out all over the bay. My favorite club is still Groundscore's Eklektic. You might have seen me playing out with the Phunkatech crew or heard me on KALX late sunday nights with Johnny North. So I Moved to Lost Angels in 2000 and stated learning studio work. By 03' I landed at the Jungle Room where I'm currently the staff engineer. All the projects heard have been recorded there. This music is designed to evoke emotion so tell me if you feel it.Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor
