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.
