About the Producers:

Jon Carter has exported his own particular brand of quality madness to the four corners of the globe for over 15 years. He rose to prominence as a resident of the era-defining Heavenly Social in 1994, playing legendary weekly sessions alongside the Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim.

Alongside his Monkey Mafia project Jon has recorded under many different guises - Junior Cartier, Joe Schmoe and Artery to name just three. His impressive remix CV includes such high profile commissions as U2, The Beach Boys, Manic Street Preachers, The Prodigy, The Beastie Boys and both The Stone Roses AND The Happy Mondays amongst many others.

In over 15 years of professional DJing and production, Alex Blanco has worked with, produced, and remixed such names as Seb Fontaine, Simon Dale, Just Jack, Simply Red, Gabriella Cilmi, Out Of Office, Oliver Lang, Deepgroove and far too many more to mention.

A chance meeting between Jon and Alex in Ibiza and the ensuing studio sessions gave birth to a new breed of uptempo dance music, starting with Stevie’s Drop, blending their shared love of chunky, rolling ragga beats and good-time party music. A string of Radio 1 plays and support from the likes of Toddla T, has ensured early success for their new project.

A DJing partnership came next, at their highly popular new night, Block At The Lock, with a full-on live show the next logical step. All they needed was a name, and what better than Roosevelt High - named after the high school in the Bronx, whose gym played host to up to a hip-hop crowd of 4,000 party-people at a time in the early 80s.
