Drawing influences from 70s funk, Jean Tonique makes an effort to distance himself from genre-defining elements while approaching his music from an organic songwriting perspective. Using elements from hip hop, house, and 70s/80s funk, the multifaceted producer likes to draw people in with the malleable dynamics of his music. Having released his acclaimed debut album ‘Well Mannered Frivolity’ in 2018, described by DJ Magazine as ‘slickly produced’ and ‘irresistible’, Jean Tonique returned in 2019 older and wiser with ‘sunny side up’, focusing on raw, song-writing while still maintaining his affinity for French touch, house, 70s funk and hip-hop. Tonique’s previous two EP’s released on Yuksek’s Partyfine label set the benchmark for his imitable club sounds and remixes for Lana Del Rey, Outkast, The Kooks and more propelled him to the world stage. Early 2020, he returned to Partyfine with ‘scrambled eggs’, a 3 tracks EP created using samples from the ‘sunny side up’ album.
