The West London based producer Stevie J, known as Funkineven, has been creating and playing some of the very best underground and experimental ‘groove music’ for nearly two decades. Combining hip-hop, classic electro and soul Funkineven has worked with the likes of Rosin Murphy and Fatima and produced remixes for Bonobo and Ikonika as well has releasing his own music through Apron and Elgo Records.
