Legendary UK Dj & producer John 00 Fleming aka JOOF is set for a return to Kuala Lumpur on the 13th July with his JOOF Editions night and a 4 Hour set. Calling John’s life in electronic music anything less than extraordinary would be a considerable understatement. Over the last three decades he’s been behind 30 music-compilations and artist albums, which have sold cumulatively in excess of 10 million copies. Of which 10 of his mix compilations and five single releases have made the UK’s national Top 40 (on major labels including Virgin, EMI and Warner Music), whilst his most recent club tracks have resulted in a succession of Beatport top 10 chart positions.
As a DJ his club, arena and festival showings are legion. Everywhere from the UK’s Ministry of Sound and Cream to Cielo and Avalon in the US (and most points in between) have played host to his night-to-dawn sets. He’s also a mainstay at festivals like Tomorrowland, Dreamstate, EDC , Serbia’s Exit, Sunburn, Exxxperience, Boomtown, S.U.N. to Australia’s Earthcore.
John’s a proven musical pioneer whose essence lies in what his fans call, ‘the J00F sound’. The J00F sound is as unpretentious as the artist, and is best described as deep and textured progressively edged trance, in an electronic dance music style that is an antithesis to what is normally produced within the genre.
John’s renown lies in his desire to give back to his fans. His much lauded 2010 BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix has spawned J00F Editions, an international tour which innovatively refocuses the music onto the club and its clubbers. J00F Editions resurrects the scene of old, and reintroduces the clubbing experience to extended sets, new sounds and new artists to deliver a true musical journey devoid of fluff and predictive cliché that has quickly gained international respect, residencies and support from other leading figures such as; Dave Clarke, Dave Seaman, Sister Bliss, Avalon, Passion and Ministry of sound. JOOF Editions has been a huge success touring 100’s of venues over the ten years.
John’s record label, J00F Recordings, and his monthly radio show, Global Trance Grooves, broadcast on iTunes and DI. FM provides John another path to walk his own line. Here, he promotes rising stars in addition to giving over four million subscribed fans the latest in J00F’s inimitable sounds.
The night will be supported by DJ Apsara (JP) & Suhanth Bhanoo.
Three things in this world sound great, they are techno, house and Apsara. The three of them combined becomes mind-blowing DJ sets that has become an addiction to dance music fans where ever Apsara landed. This Japanese born DJ is a natural born DJ, a complete DJ that can truly shake a dance floor. She began her career by spending many hours on the dance floor as a clubber, but this once proud California raver always knew that one day she's going to be in the DJ booth commanding the dance floor.
Not long after her first gig in San Francisco, her career took flight and travelled around the world performing in nightclubs and festivals such as Ruby Skye (SF, USA), 1015 (SF, USA), Avalon (LA, USA), Womb (JP), Air (JP), Akrham (CH), Time (PH), Jenja (ID), Tomorrowland (BE) and the legendary Stadium Jakarta among many others. As a producer, she has tracks released under Zerothree, Apulia Records, Safe Music, Nocode, Moonshake, Plus Records and more.
Currently a resident in Jakarta, she’s a regular at many Indonesia nightclubs. Make sure to catch her ‘After Dark’ radio Show every month at Frisky Radio, where you can hear Apsara share new tracks from underground producers from around the globe.
Suhan is one of the founders of Jiro trance, progressive and techno nights Reincarnation.
