YOUNG MONTANA (ALPHA PUP, UK) GUEST MIX FOR ANDREW MEZA’S BTS RADIO PART 2
No comments · Posted by Paula Daunt in mix
Young Montana? (born Jon Pritchard) is full of ideas. He can’t help himself. When it comes to sampling, anything is up for grabs. The music is experimental, genre-bending and most of all, fun.
Pritchard is truly setting the bar when it comes to pushing limits. When his tracks are flipped, twisted and launched back at you, I see them as an art piece. It reminds me a bit of the character “No Face” in the Hayao Miyazaki film, Spirited Away. A misunderstood creature that seems gentle enough at first, but then devours its surroundings to transform into an unexplained object. Eventually, it throws up it’s contents to return back to form. At times it’s terrifying, beautiful, but in any shape, it always demands the most attention.
His first guest mix was often cited as our best of 2010. He returns for Round 2.
Young Montana’s debut LP, Limerence, is out now on Alpha Pup Records, and it’s one of the best electronic releases you’ll hear this year.

YOUNG MONTANA (COVENTRY, UK) GUEST MIX FOR ANDREW MEZA’S BTS RADIO

YOUNG MONTANA (COVENTRY, UK)
GUEST MIX FOR ANDREW MEZA’S BTS RADIO
Playful loops, glitches and bubbling bass, Young Montana? is yet another artist of a new wave. An artist of a new generation ready to be taken seriously. Jon Pritchard is the 19-year-old producer behind the Young Montana? pseudonym, and his fast-forward career has been catching a lot of insider attention.
Hailing from Coventry, the West Midlands region of England, Pritchard falls into the circle of artists recently featured on BTS, like Shlohmo, Letherette and S.Maharba, who’ve seem to come out of nowhere and raise the bar in electronic music.
Earlier this year, Mary Anne Hobbs dubbed him her “favorite unsigned artist of 2010” and afterwards, the MAH/Los Angeles connection led to a signing with Daddy Kev’s Alpha Pup label. Pretty good for someone who started making music a year ago.
In what’s sure to be considered another BTS essential, Young Montana? drops this fantastic mix for Andrew Meza’s BTS Radio.

The sound of summer 2011: Stream Young Montana’s debut album – factmag.com

Last year, dubstep mum Mary Anne Hobbs signed Young Montana out as her “favourite unsigned arists of 2010″. Today, we’re streaming his debut album.
Listening to Limerence, you can see why. Hyperactive from the start, it’s beats music for a generation overloaded with information. The grooves are strong enough to reign supreme, but Montana never lets them sit still for long, cutting and splicing them into a white-hot vision of electronic music turned on its head, falling into new, unpredictable shapes. Yes, it’ll be a bit too much for some, but fans of Hudson Mohawke, Prefuse 73, etc, all might have just found their album of the year.
It’s out now on Alpha Pup; check it out below.
