Biografie
DJ and Producer from Merseyside, UK, John began playing clubnights in and around Liverpool at the age of fifteen, before having his first record released a year later (thanks to boyhood hero Regis) under the alias Hek on Birmingham's RSB imprint.
John was then offered a residency in the emerging Rehab event at the Lemon Lounge in Liverpool. With a policy of not booking big names and free entry, people travelled from as far as Glasgow and Dublin to revel in the music. John quickly cemented the peak time slot until the night came to a close after its Third Birthday.
Various gigs around the UK followed, as he added Roland Drum Machines to his fast paced 3-turntable Live/DJ shows. In 2009, following a 2-year release hiatus, he rekindled his passion for production after becoming inspired by the music of record label Mathematics Recordings (in particular the music of Jamal Moss, whom John had travelled to Belgium to see perform live). The purchase of a Roland synthesizer with his brother shortly after marked the beginning of a new sound in John's production; a sound which consequently bled into his still-frantic DJ sets.
In 2010, John was welcomed onto Mathematics Recordings, releasing the exceptionally well-received 'Life On Titan EP'. A string of releases on Mathematcis (including the 2-part 'Second Son' album), Tabernacle, Signals, Skylax, Apartment, Crme Organization and Stimulus followed, as well as a succession of remixes.
John collected a 2012 Qwartz Electronic Music Award in Paris for his 'Life On Titan EP'. He now continues to perform around the globe, whilst using an assortment of hardware to accompany his ever varying vinyl selections. Full hardware live shows are now also available as part of his repertoire.
