1981, Denver, Colorado. Jonathan Herrera would forever be influenced by his parents' record collection, raised on a healthy diet of funk, soul and disco music. Also, growing up in a house with a bar, complete with dance floor and discoball. Flash forward, 1996. He attends his first all night dance party only to be completely hooked by the repetitive groove played. It would certainly be the catalyst for a lifelong passion into dance music. Going out every weekend and getting involved with the scene he would not pick up his first record until 2000. Already a connoisseur of house music, Jonathan would spend the next few years honing his skill as a DJ. Buying as many records as he could and taking cues from the local talent that would later become the mighty Beatport download site. Later on, finding a certain complexity and solace in techno only a few years into DJing, he would make a slow yet logical transition into becoming Pantycontrol, a DJ with no concern for genre, only groove. Currently, one can expect a fine mixture of deep, slinky tech house to smooth, almost druggy techno from this up and coming talent. Expect big things from Pantycontrol this year as Sweatbox, his techno promotion company takes off, as well as his current residencies with Seattle's From 0-1 and Knight Riders flourish.
