Jonny L

Jonny L, real name John Lisners, is a Drum and Bass producer.

He first came to prominence with the "rave" single "Hurt You So" in 1992. He signed to XL Recordings, the same label as The Prodigy and SL2. He produced a number of other singles such as "Ooh I like it" (quite possibly one of the most underrated songs of the era), "Make me work", and "The Ansaphone" which famously sampled his former girlfriend's amazing voice mail message calling him a "b**tard and a liar".

After the release of "Make me work" in 1995, he changed direction from making trance with drum and bass beats, towards making straight up drum and bass records, beginning with "I'm Leavin'". With that he produced two other EP's before his first album "Sawtooth" in 1997. From this album, the hit single, "Piper" proved to be a success even though it was extreme in its sound, although on the album there were other electro influenced tracks. By 1998 the album "Magnetic" carried on in a similar vein.

He left XL to form his own label "Piranhna". Another album, "27 Hours A Day" followed with the George W. Bush sampled single "Let's Roll".

Together with long-time friend, and owner of the Boogie Beat label, Andy Lysandrou he also records as True Steppers who had a huge hit with the tune "Out Of Your Mind" featuring Victoria Beckham and Dane Bowers.
