Music has always been essential to CollectiveONE (Jonathan Roten). Prior to his electronic music immersion, he focused on primarily underground hip-hop. Ever since he first listened to "Logical Progression Sessions" by LTJ Bukem, DnB has been in his blood. He started going to parties in early 2000 and discovered his love of dancing. Through dancing he discovered a niche for himself Djing. In the beginning he played almost everyday and was requested at house parties. Next, he collected some gigs in Winston Salem and other surrounding cities. For him it was just about jamming with friends and listening to the music everyday. Later,he took a break from Djing in the form of a priority shift. Although, he stopped actively playing, he continually stayed up on the releases and studied artists mixes. The need to mix never left him and meeting his partner, Matiq (John Wolf), was a natural catalyst to get back at the controls. DnB is second nature to Jon, he intuitively grows and develops flourishing sets through track selection and blending seamless mixes. CollectiveONE's mission in Djing and producing DnB is to take prople on healing journeys that are unexplainable. In his eyes, the future of music is, and always was DnB.. And that it plays a big part in the awakening of individuals and us, collectively.
