Version: Electro-reggae-blues..


Richard G. Jones began DJing parties in Florida in the early nineties. His uniquely dark Dub influenced sound led him to the new "jungle" sound slowly emerging and not yet classified as anything but BreakBeat in the U.S.

A pioneer in this genre in Florida, DJ Rasa hosted weekly nights at Simons playing alongside talent such as Grooverider, Dieselboy, DB, Dara and LTJ Bukem to name a few.

After acquiring a larger more well equipped venue at The Soulhouse called "Clean", he was able to experiment more with drum machines, singers and live elements bringing in acts such as Smith & Mighty, drawing from a more Dub / Reggae influence.

After moving to San Francisco in 1998 he crossed paths with Benny E. Sanches (a.k.a. iNTROSPEKT) at Nova Productions. The two immediately began producing together.

Benny Sanches is a decade-long producer of electronic music, with remixes for Depeche Mode and Meat Beat Manifesto among his portfolio.

As a producer and musician, iNTROSPEKT has worked with Ahou Yazmeen (vocalist, guitarist, aka ISYSS); David Pulfinger (percussionist, Cabaret Voltaire/Cocteau Twins); Jorge Bermudez (The Bermudez Triangle); Ammie Moore (Chicago-based Lounge/Trip Hop vocalist); Lisa Talev (Austin-based Poet, vocalist, guitarist); Christophe Royer (San Francisco-based House & Funk producer); Rasa N' Rice (Los Angeles-based Electro producer); Shemp (Bass guitarist for Schloss); and many others.

As a solo artist, Benny is known by the name of Magnatune artist iNTROSPEKT.

In addition to his own production efforts, Benny works for the celebrated digital-recording company Digidesign.
