Biografie
The DJ Jon K is very much a product of the experiences he had growing up on a skateboard in the late 80's in terms of his slant on music and mindset – citing Glen E Friedman's 'Fuck you heroes' as a touchstone of his development.
The most relevant parts of his life / work have mainly had something to do with records – this coupled with a stubbornness of selection & the belief that DJing isn't necessarily genre specific or about 'SMASHING IT' are evident in his DJ sets and mixtapes……to paraphrase a sample used by Count Bass D "Real music's here to last ….all that other bullshit's here today – gone tomorrow"
Jon's prowess behind the decks is exemplified by his 2013 FACT mix being voted the best mix of the year, as voted for their readers and writers. Not to mention his international DJ schedule that keeps building and proving him to be one of the best DJs to emerge from UK in years.
