Recorded live in a one-take at Stained Class Productions located on their home turf, the fusion track bears a splashy three-way joust featuring electronic piano (Derek Mathias), percussions (Joel Rozario), and drums (Jason Sharat), in addition to picky bass details via Vishal Varrier. ‘Jonty Patel’ was released with a music video that catches all the musicians in their elements, opening with a breakdown of the term ‘Jonty’ and intercutting their performance with stills expressing the upcoming ‘Jont’ before each layer of instrumentation. *Derek & The Cats – Jonty Patel (Artwork)* Its artwork, illustrated by Anushree Dhingra, projects a postal stamp, with an individual sporting a khaki uniform and a peaked cap with a ‘JP’ logo clutching onto a puzzle piece that completes his face, likely referencing the expression – the last piece of the puzzle. **Song Credits** – *Written & Performed by: Derek Mathias (Piano), Jason Sharat (Drums), Adesh Vinod (Guitar), Vishal Varrier (Bass), Joel Rozario (Percussion), Anand Murali (Keyboards), Gautam David (Saxophone) Produced by: Derek Mathias Recorded at: Stained Class Productions, by Leslie Charles Mixed and Mastered by: Vivek Thomas DOP: Sanket Chakraborty Second Camera: Navaneeth Krishna Cover art: Anushree Dhingra* **Find Derek & The Cats on: [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/derekandthecats/?hl=en&img_index=1) | [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1c05tPqGrM6uVvYTzYySW2?autoplay=true)** **You May Also Like:** [Derek & The Cats And Frizzell D’Souza Carve Out A Sublime New Single, ‘Diana’](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/04/05/derek-the-cats-and-frizzell-dsouza-carve-out-a-sublime-new-single-diana) [Kamakshi Khanna Pours Her Heart Out on New Sophomore EP](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/07/09/kamakshi-khanna-new-sophomore-ep-heartbreak-2020) [Sai Sanjit Reflects Life and Society in Debut Album ‘Retrograde’](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/08/06/sai-sanjit-new-debut-album-retrograde) Share [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F08%2F19%2Fit-is-about-being-jonty-on-derek-the-cats-new-single.md&text=It+is+About+Being+%E2%80%98Jonty%E2%80%99+on+Derek+%26+The+Cats%E2%80%99+New+Single) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F08%2F19%2Fit-is-about-being-jonty-on-derek-the-cats-new-single.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=It+is+About+Being+%E2%80%98Jonty%E2%80%99+on+Derek+%26+The+Cats%E2%80%99+New+Single+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2024%2F08%2F19%2Fit-is-about-being-jonty-on-derek-the-cats-new-single.md) ## Denver C Tracking stories in music with a focus on festivals, events, gigs, and sustainability.
