They would like to share this wealth of experience with you and work alongside you to enhance your future projects.

“That music was electro bass disco heaven! Thank you!”
Private Client
“Dear Jon, We danced to your cracking tunes on Sunday night (Womad) and awarded you a very well deserved gold medal – the first official gold of the Olympics 2012. You made six 40 year old men very happy with the tunes – brilliant beats. I hope there may be away of catching you play out in London or surrounds sometime. Thanks a million!”
Ben and the crew
“Hey Jon, I so loved your Sunday set (Glastonbury), The music and dance-floor vibe was what I had been longing for all festival… Had a proper boogie. Thanks. see you soon.”
Glade Lounge
“Addictions are rarely healthy, but in Jon Bongly’s case being a percussionist, producer and DJ has made his addiction to rhythm an extremely viable vice. Using his trademark take on smooth electro swing, he seamlessly fuses the two worlds of swing and dance and will surely leave you with a new understanding of what it really means to “shake a tail feather”.
Private Client
“Many thanks Jon for a great set.”
BooM BooM Club
“I saw Jon playing in the East End – I was blown away and immediately signed him up to play The London Humbug. He has access to fiendishly great music. The most phenomenal brand new sounds from European electro swing to pulsing techno to wriggling tropical house, masterfully mixed and served with a smile. The dance floor was filled in the space of his first record, and the sustained joy and wonderment on people’s faces for the next couple of hours was unforgettable. Mr Binglybongly is experience, taste and musical adventure personified. The go-to guy for hot rhythm.”
The London Humbug
“Jon Bongly has been putting on great parties in London for a while now, starting at the Spitz and now regularly transforming (part of) the vast SeOne venue into a party playground. There’s music across three rooms from upbeat eclectic in room one, deep techy house in room two and a downtempo third room complete with holistic massage and stunning visuals throughout.”
DJ magazine
“Jon Bongly stands out from the crowd with a left of centre attitude to the clubbing experience…”
