Mr Headphone
“First rule of business, protect your investment.”
—Etiquette of the Banker 1775
When you listen to a piece of music, what is it you enjoy? The feeling it gives you? The memories it somehow recalls? Or is it just that over-extened feeling to have a good dance to a kick-ass beat. Mr Headphone sure doesn’t care for feelings, or memories. Mr Headphone cares for that beat.

Jon Niche (Previously Black On Black) is the alias of an England based mandroid, using guitars, keyboards, drum machines and midi pads to create something that cannot be defined other a specific genre other than “space-electro-ambient-IDM-darkwave-synthpop”. There is no real idea when the former rock n roller now known as Jon Niche turned to the genre of electronic music, perhaps many the forever declining quality of what is known as “rock music” drove him out of the pit of normality of guitars and bland over-the-top vocalists and into the endless depths, vastness and unimaginable creativity of electronic music.
