This is the homepage of Phonetix. Phonetix is a UK-based artist & producer responsible for hundreds of releases over the last 15 years. He specialises in UK Garage, specifically his trademark niche “Jazz Step”. With this signature “Jazz Step” sound, Phonetix has drawn comparisons to legends like MJ Cole & Mondo Grosso.

Welcome to the official homepage of Artist, Producer, Engineer, DJ, Podcaster & label owner Phonetix.

Also known as as Mr Jazz Step, Phonetix (pronounced “foh-net-ix”) is Rob Thomas – a gold-certified, award-winning Artist, Multi-Instrumentalist, Engineer, Producer, DJ, Podcaster & Label Executive from London.

 

Phonetix is a veteran of the game, having kick started his career all the way back in the early 2000s, boasting impressive early support from DJ EZ & many more. In 2021 he was on a serious grind, featuring as an original producer, remixer & collaborator on 50 tracks. This includes a fabulous label run with the likes of Garage Shared, Nuvolve, Strictly Flava, Strictly House & Garage, Downplay & more, alongside a full length album drop of ‘Jazz Step FM’ back in February… his catalogue is pretty exceptional, covering a range of different styles within the UKG spectrum with a serious level of consistency that very few others have been able to either match or beat.
