Jonathan Benton-Hughes, also known as Jonny Trunk, is a British writer, broadcaster, DJ, and label owner. He founded Trunk Records in 1995 with a focus on releasing interesting music from obscure sources. Jonny is not only an obsessive record collector but also an occasionally brilliant bed-time composer.
If you enjoy the sounds of artists like Basil Kirchin, Belbury Poly, Vernon Elliott, or The Advisory Circle, then you will definitely appreciate Jonny Trunk's unique musical style. His work draws inspiration from a wide range of performers such as Bernard Estardy, Kenny Graham And His Satellites, Nino Nardini, and John Baker.
With influences ranging from Eden Ahbez to Raymond Scott and Pierre Cavalli to Joel Vandroogenbroeck, Jonny Trunk's music captures the essence of vintage vibes mixed with contemporary creativity. Whether you are a fan of Alan Parker or Pram, his compositions will surely captivate your ears.

A car book like no other, Auto Erotica offers a nostalgic look at vintage cars through the literature, leaflets, and pamplets that sold them to us.

Over the course of its 240 pages, Auto Erotica covers the gamut of motoring in Britain during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s through rare ephemeral booklets full of unusual graphic ideas and concepts. Their fabulous photography, dazzling color charts, daring typography, strange foldouts and inspiring styles symbolize the automobile aspirations of generations of Britons.

Assembled by nostalgia enthusiast Jonny Trunk―author of The Music Library and Own Label―the book is also packed full of era-defining classic cars, from those we love to those we can’t remember. Expect fast Fords, the XJS, the TR8, MGs, Minis, Maxis, Renaults, Beemers, VWs, Vivas, Citroëns, DeLoreans and a whole lot more: amazing motorcars from the past, and even some from the future, as you've never seen them before.
