Everything's Exactly The Same

Jonathan Valentine (a.k.a. Chevron), hailing from Blackpool in the north of England, is of a rare breed who can combine some of the most diverse and challenging range of sounds to date and actually pull it off. Chevron's long awaited debut album Everything's Exactly The Same formed a landmark release for 2005 and stirred up attention from dozens of internet communities, web sites and print magazines.

Chevron’s style is notoriously difficult to pin-down to a specific genre, featuring an unlikely fusion of melodic breakcore, poppy 2-step and cartoon jungle with flavours from all around including dancehall, gabba, jungle, rave, grime, drum n bass, ska, glitch (the list goes on). Artists influential to his work include Prodigy, Orbital and Venetian Snares, but critics have likened his work to 'a middle ground between Plaid, DJ Rupture's reconstructed ragga and the mystical techno of the Red Planet label'.
