About Me


I'm Jonathan Blakoe, an electronic dance music producer currently living in Toulouse in the south of France. I make mostly trance music under the Static Blue guise and occasionally chillout or ambient tracks. I'm also a student, right now in my third year of studies and specializing in fundamental physics.
At the end of 2005 I completed my first serious trance production called "Under The Sea", which got picked up by an upcoming UK label, Six:Thirty Records. It was released early 2006 and ended up getting quite a lot of attention, also receiving support from some of the biggest trance DJ's including Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten and Above & Beyond.
Following the success of "Under The Sea", my second single called "Going Home" appeared on Alter Ego Records and was followed later in 2006 by a third single, "Fade Away", on the australian label Amon Vision.
In 2006 and 2007 I also got the opportunity to remix quite a few tracks for various labels including Deep Blue Records, Elevation Records, Alter Ego Records, Breeze Records and Ferry Corsten's own label Flashover Recordings.
In summer 2007, Alter Ego Records signed and released my collaboration with Amurai called "After The Sunrise" which was probably my biggest success to date, receiving remixes from Alex Morph & Van Eyden and Daniel Kandi, and DJ support from the likes of Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren, above & Beyond and many other A-list DJ's.
I enjoy working on music with other artists. In fact you might have noticed that I have quite a few collaborations released already ! I've been lucky enough to meet some great artists online and I am currently working on some new productions with my talented friend David Boldini (7 Skies) from Italy.
Below is a list of the original productions and remixes I have released on record labels, as well as the compilations my tracks have been featured on.
These productions and remixes are available to buy in mp3 format on various online shops like Audiojelly , Beatport , Trackitdown and for some of them, in CD / Vinyl formats on Juno , Chemical Records , Discomania , CDJShop .
