Stimulator Jones, aka Samuel Jones Lunsford, is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, DJ, vocalist and songwriter born and raised among the nature and wildlife of Roanoke, VA. After 14 years of work in a plethora of different bands, he adopted the Stimulator Jones moniker at the end of 2013 and began self-releasing music on Bandcamp and Soundcloud. In 2015 these creations attracted the attention of Sofie Fatouretchi - a DJ, musician and former employee of Boiler Room and Stones Throw Records. “Soon Never Comes” appeared on her ‘Sofie’s SOS Tape’ compilation the following year and led to an album deal with Stones Throw. His debut LP ‘Exotic Worlds and Masterful Treasures’ was released in the summer of 2018, wholly comprised of material that he wrote, performed, recorded, and mixed himself. ‘Exotic Outtakes’, an EP of leftover tracks from the album sessions, was released that fall in conjunction with a US tour. January of 2021 marked the release of ‘La Mano’, an instrumental jazz/funk/fusion album that placed his musicianship at the forefront and featured no programmed or sampled sounds. Now, Stimulator Jones brings his funky spirit to a new instrumental beat anthology, ‘Low Budget Environments Striving For Perfection’, out July 2021 on Stones Throw. Described simply as “tape hiss, turntables, and THC”, the record is a document of his lifelong love of hip hop production, consisting of raw beats crafted on various samplers throughout the years 2004-2020.
