2003 saw John's debut appearance on the world famous Amnesia Terrace for Cream. Through Muzik Magazine, Sony and the Galaxy network, John reached the top 12 from over 1,350 DJs for a residency at the world famous Liverpool Superclub Cream in July 2002, being described as "One of the most promising DJs in the UK with a great future.

His performances are rooted in house music, both soulful and uplifting, but his bar sets take an eclectic twist, exemplified in sumptuous sets at Eclipse Notting Hill every week where John will seamlessly weave from chill out and world music through soul and rare groove up to Latin and house.

John never fails to captivate an audience with his aural montages of funky melodies, spiritual vocals, filters, accapellas, jacking bass lines and tribal rhythms laced together in his very own incomparable style, constantly adding layers in the mix.
