Blank & Jones
Sun-drenched Balearic beats and polished lounge textures. Sophisticated chillout that feels like a permanent vacation on the Mediterranean coast.

Blank & Jones emerged from the late 90s German trance scene to become global ambassadors of the chillout and Balearic movements. Comprising Piet Blank, Jaspa Jones, and producer Andy Kaufhold, the trio successfully pivoted from chart-topping progressive trance hits like 'Sunrise' and 'Beyond Time' to a more enduring legacy as curators of the 'Relax' lifestyle brand.
Their sound identity is built on a foundation of pristine production, melodic accessibility, and a deep reverence for 80s synth-pop and new wave, which led to high-profile collaborations with icons such as Robert Smith (The Cure) and Anne Clark. This 'credibility bridge' allowed them to transcend the ephemeral nature of dance music. Critically, they are respected for their 'So80s' curation projects and their ability to maintain a consistent aesthetic of 'luxury lounge' across decades. They occupy a unique cultural position as the link between the Ibiza sunset tradition and modern high-end lifestyle branding, influencing a generation of downtempo and nu-jazz producers.
