Encyclopedia
Jason Forrest is an electronic music
producer known for noisy experimental
electronica
and breakcore
incorporating many ideas of mash-up
and rock and roll
. Largely produced and performed on a single computer (including live shows), his songs tend to be constructed from digital samples of found sounds and other artists' music. Until 2004 he recorded under the name Donna Summer, an allusion to disco
singer Donna Summer
.
In 2005 RES
magazine named Forrest's "Steppin Off" video, by director Jon Watts, music video of the year. In 2006 Res magazine named Forrest's video War Photographer, directed by Joel Trussell video of the year, and online magazine Pitchfork Media
also named it in their top five videos of the year. Both videos have won several awards at various international film and video festivals and have both been widely viewed, downloaded and acclaimed.
Forrest has released on many labels, but primarily on Sonig, the Köln, Germany based record label. He also has releases on Irritant Records
(UK), Omeko (JP), MeWe le Disque (BE), Mirex (DE), Broklyn Beats (USA), and Hoss (USA).
Some of the more conspicuous samples of other artists to be found in Forrest's work include ones from Laurie Anderson
, The Who
, Supertramp, Steely Dan, Joe Jackson, Elton John, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Pat Benatar. This (along with his former stage name) shows his interest in appropriation as an artistic concept. Along with many images featured on the Cock Rock Disco web site it also shows his interest in recontextualizing popular culture from past decades.
Forrest grew up in South Carolina, has lived in Atlanta and New York City and now (Winter, 2009) resides in Berlin. He has a BA in Photography. He previously worked as a professional artist as well as an art critic for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution news paper.
Besides being a fan himself, there is no connection between Forrest and the pop music
/disco
artist, Donna Summer
. In a 2003 interview with the CBC Radio
program, Brave New Waves
, he stated that by being a middle class
white male using this name he was "subjecting people to a fake issue of diversity" and forcing them "to consider gender a little bit more."
to release his own recordings in 2000, while living in New York City. For 3 years he self-released his earliest albums on CD-R
, including "Rock Non Rock" and "Belligerent Super Vision", his first unreleased full-length. Then in 2005, Cock Rock Disco began releasing other artists including Duran Duran Duran, Drumcorps, Otto von Schirach

in addition to their normal roster of artists.
To celebrate release of the "Monsters of CRD" the label hosted a tour of central Europe with Otto von Schirach, Duran Duran Duran, Nero's Day At Disneyland
and Forrest as Dj Donna Summer. The tour lasted 2 weeks and stopped at 10 cities. There was a limited edition poster accompanying the tour that was sold out.

, Rob Threezy, Proper Villains, Jubilee, Rampage
, and Forrest himself as Dj Donna Summer.

Forrest currently makes all of the design work for Nightshifters.
Network Awesome is a platform for entertaining and interesting TV. We spotlight the best from the past to create something new for the future. In a sense it's TV about TV but our wider intent is to show something about culture as a whole. This can manifest itself in a kids cartoon from 1973, an interview from 1948 or a movie from 1993 – We’re pretty open minded about what Network Awesome is and what it can be. It's our commitment to provide you what we think is interesting and clever TV - hopefully you agree.
Ryan Lawler of Gigaom says of the Network:
The selection of content curated day-to-day can best be described as "eclectic." Today, for instance, Network Awesome's programming includes a documentary about Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, an old episode of Groucho Marx's You Bet Your Life, an episode of Speed Racer, a flashback of ABC's 20/20 from 1981, a film adaptation of Jules Verne fiction and an episode of The Twilight Zone. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to which programs or picked or how they’re stitched together, but that's part of what makes Network Awesome work.
Forrest was quoted in an interview with Ben Gray from DigBoston:
We are passionate about sharing what we think is interesting, entertaining and culturally relevant. It's like with your friends- you say "Cool -- look at this!"... Every day we broadcast 6 shows. These can be almost anything, from a classic cartoon to the film Zabriske Point. We try to balance the more populist shows like The Muppet Show with less expected pieces like a documentary about German artist Joseph Beuys. But at the same time, it's all very much just good TV in our eyes as there's an ebb and flow between programs with a thread that we think is logical and balanced. We want the viewer to be pleasantly surprised.
Forrest says, "The show was primarily focused on unreleased new musicians. I tried to play as much CDR stuff as possible, and figure about 80% of each show was completely unreleased." On his own web-forum he has maintained that he would like to continue with the show again in the future.
