John is a DJ, Producer, promoter, founder of Paisley Dark Records and host of two monthly events, the Paisley Dark radio show where he showcases the very best and latest, psychedelic infused electronic
dance music and his Paisley Dark residencey at Outlaws Yacht Club in Leeds.
From his youth, he has been an avid collector of vinyl and has been a passionate and knowledgeable
music fan since the heady days of punk. His first gigs and introduction to live music were, The Ramones,
The Clash and The Buzzcocks, a love of which he still holds today. Many years later on a trip to Outlaws
Yacht Club to see a “Chinwag,” with Andrew Weatherall, John began an unforeseen musical journey, that
would see him share DJ booths with some of his musical hero’s, including Andrew himself. It was at Outlaws
he was invited by, long-time friend and Chinwag host, Chris Madden to play some tunes and so start his
journey as a DJ.
John’s keen music sense and love of psychedelia, punk, funk, electro and dub greatly helped him in
gaining a well-deserved reputation as a live DJ. Offers from local promoters were quickly followed by a
headline slot on the Perfumed Garden stage at Beat-Herder. The circle was completed with a 3 hour
warm up slot for Andrew at The Golden Lion, in Todmorden, at which The Guv’nor was said to be fishing
for tunes John was playing. Since then he has shared the decks, Justin Robertson, Duncan Gray,Richard Sen
many more.
