History Lesson
Discovered rave culture in April 1989 when in Ibiza for what was suppose to be a two week holiday. Immediately hooked on the club scene and this new type of dance music that he hadn’t ever encountered before. Returned to England in October a changed man. A week later went to “Sunrise Vs Back to the Future” in an aircraft hangar at Santa Pod Racecourse, totally blown away. The next year and a half was spent as one of the Ravers…

The first gigs came at the beginning of 1991 at various free party's (then called travelers parties) in the Southwest along with other DJ's like Easy Groove, Donovan "Bad Boy" Smith, DJ Die (now of Full Cycle) and DJ Jody (now of Way Out West).

At the end of '91 after lots of one-off slots at various clubs round Bristol John landed his first residency at "Vibes Alive" who were at the time probably the biggest event in the Bristol calendar. Over the next two years bookings came from promoters like: Ektos, Total Kaos, Obsession and Quest as well as lots of local club promoters. Along the way John had met Rob Pepper & Paul Shurey who were at the time Promoting Universe, this eventually led to him playing in the main arena at Universe's first ever "Tribal Gathering" in April ‘93.

A decade later John is still playing / producing and still plays at many of the major nights in the country today including Raindance in London and Illusion in Stoke… Mainly playing the Old Skool sounds of the early nineties and combining the new sounds of Hardcore Breaks... Which is a more recent incarnation of that early 90's sound.

Hardcore breaks was partly spawned by John and his mate Darkus who he met in 2001 and who together launched the label Warehouse Wax. Along with other labels like 2fresh, Bassrock, Enormous Mouse and Darkus' new label Hardcore Projektz John tries to push this sound to the masses and make it a recognised genre.

Recently John has travelled to Spain, where he made a massive impact and Germany to spread the word and gigs in America and Australia are looking likely for the near future
