November 19, 2018

“The guys at Spearhead Records asked me to do a promo mix a couple of weeks ago as a warm-up to my set at their Spearhead Presents Event at EGG:LDN at the beginning of the month – so here it is! I took the opportunity to play a deeper set than I sometimes do, and it was a lot of fun!

John B Podcast 177: Live @ Sun & Bass 2018 (‘Alternative Set’ @ La Cinta Beach)

October 12, 2018

“Here it is! My ‘Alternative’ Set from La Cinta Beach at Sun & Bass 2018!

Previously I’ve played more niche Italo Disco stuff at sun & bass for my ‘alternative’ sets so I thought it would be good to switch it up and not duplicate what I’d done previously – so this time I decided to go all out megahits from the 80s & 90s for a proper beach party vibe, then work in some of the D&B remixes of 80s stuff I’ve amassed over the years to bring the energy up at the end!

Words can’t describe how much fun it was and how happy I was with how it went! This was my first day at S&B this year and what a great start to the week! Big Love to everyone that was there and shared the occasion – if you couldn’t be there I hope this recording brings you a bit of that San Teodoro sunshine!

I really hope you like the set – and if you do, please share it online with your friends – it really helps more people see the posts & hear my music!

John B Podcast 176: Live @ Sun & Bass 2018 (Closing Party @ Ambra Night)

October 4, 2018


Photo by Apps Photography

Sun & Bass 2018, as always, was a beautiful experience & it was an honour to play 2 sets during my week there. This was the big one, my ‘proper’ D&B set at the closing party on the final night, in one of my favourite venues in the world, Ambra Night, in San Teodoro, Sardinia. The open air ‘garden’ stage, under the stars on a lovely clear warm night, surrounded by some of the most awesome ravers you could ever wish to play for is always a memorable & very special experience. I put a lot of thought into exactly what I wanted to play, how to take the set on a journey across all the different types of D&B I love, for a knowledgable Sun & Bass crowd of true headz – keep with the musical D&B vibes & ethos AND somehow fit all that into just one hour! Hope you like the set – and if you do, please share it online with your friends – it really helps more people see the posts & hear my music! xxx John B

“Hello again, it’s good to see you…”

Beta Recordings Space-Captain, Retro-Synth-80s connoisseur and flagrant rule shredder John B touches down in his drop-ship from a stacked touring schedule with a genuinely singular piece of work: ‘Approaching Zero’.

Over a year in the making, conducting and fusing the creative compositional skills of Russian multi-instrumentalist (& professional drone cameraman) Tairum and longstanding vocal cohort Xenturion Prime (FKA Code64), ‘Approaching Zero’ is the culmination of all John’s signature muses: Stark futurism, 23rd century romanticism, time travel paradoxes, lavish 80s aesthetics and dancefloor theatrics, all wrapped up tightly in a neon glowing contemporary D&B production pressure cooker.

It’s a quintessential example of the Synthwave/Epic-Retro-80s influenced Drum & Bass John has been honing and pioneering for over the last 15 years.

Galvanised by Bjorn from Xenturion Prime’s vocals alluding to meeting your past self in the future, approaching end of life (and mildly chiding the loudness war stormtroopers with its 0RMS double entendre) ‘Approaching Zero’ shines an entirely different light on typical songwrit- ing trends in Drum & Bass and expresses John’s love for all things 80s to the very detail.

From his own VHS-era 80s Sci-Fi cyber art video to the unique unplugged version that strips the song back to its chords and acoustic guitar, this is the future ‘synthwave’ inspired D&B sound of John B that the past John B has been focused on since he championed his own distinctive ‘Trance and Bass’ direction with his infamous (now highly collectable) ‘Trance & Bass’ Mixmag cover CD many moons ago.

Will this be his legacy? See you at the edge of the universe….

John B & Wreckage Machinery “Omega Racer”

Destination future: John B ignites another big year with ‘Omega Racer’. A surging return to his epic synthwave/D&B Hybrid sound with pure positivity and energy, whether you’re looking to uplift your dancefloor or hunting replicants, this is the perfect soundtrack.

The latest in an exciting new line of talent to feature on Beta this year including Hectix, Specialist Sound and Melotronics, ‘Omega Racer’ is the result of a rough demo sent to Beta HQ by young Austrian artist Wreckage Machine. Instantly hearing promise in the demo, John jumped on board and navigated the track towards the most euphoric pastures possible with a knowing sense of futuristic timelessness: A crystalline blast of pure synthesis powered with precision levels of barbed elation, this builds on the trance and bass sound John’s been sculpting for most of his career.

The sound of an open road into an unknown future – landing amid b2b US tours, forthcoming collaborations with Digital and Code 64, an appearance on Hospital’s ‘Sick Music’ album and an in-demand festival season on the horizon – ‘Omega Racer’ marks the start of another busy year for the long-standing innovator and his imprint. Buckle up.
