Going Quantum is the stage name of Jonathan Winter, a Vancouver, Canada–based DJ and producer working across drum and bass, bassline, drumstep, dubstep, grime, jungle, liquid funk, UK garage and UK grime. He began releasing material and DJ mixes under the Going Quantum alias in 2010 and has a documented early relationship with the Canadian label Monstercat. His debut on Monstercat appeared on the label’s first compilation, 001 - Launch Week, with the track “Hello?” in 2011.

Winter launched The Going Quantum Podcast after establishing the alias, using the show to present DJ mixes and guest sets; the podcast featured prominent bass artists and ran until it went on hiatus in 2016. He was an early contributor to Monstercat and later served in A&R leadership roles at the label, combining creative output with behind-the-scenes A&R responsibilities. As a producer he has released tracks including “Raw” — which was placed in EA’s Need for Speed — and “Rare,” a collaboration with Psychic Type. Other credited collaborators include Ephixa and hayve.

As a producer Going Quantum operates across a wide palette of UK- and bass-derived styles. His work moves between heavy sub-bass and midrange-driven synth lines, and it often uses syncopated, garage-influenced rhythmic placements alongside faster drum and bass tempos. You’ll hear chopped breaks and tight drum editing where drumstep or jungle elements meet dubstep-weight low end; in his liquid-leaning moments he layers airy pads and vocal chops over clear, round snares. Bass design tends to favour layered low-frequency content and detuned saw/reese textures combined with stabilized sub sine layers for club playback.

Specific career highlights that are verifiable: the 2011 appearance on Monstercat’s 001 - Launch Week (“Hello?”); the track “Raw,” which saw placement in EA’s Need for Speed; the collaboration “Rare” with Psychic Type; credited collaborations with Ephixa and hayve; and involvement in A&R leadership at Monstercat. His podcast, The Going Quantum Podcast, served as a platform for mixes and guest contributions from notable bass artists until it paused in 2016. These are concrete markers of his activity as both a producer and a curator within the contemporary bass and DnB ecosystem.

Public biographical detail beyond these points is limited; the verifiable record centers on his Vancouver base, his start as Going Quantum in 2010 via posted DJ mixes, the 2011 Monstercat compilation appearance, the listed tracks and collaborations, the podcast run (ended/hiatus in 2016), and his A&R roles at Monstercat.
