Just finished uploading most of these to my myspace, facebook & flickr. Will shortly post to the new john-b.com site also...
Had a really good weekend in Budapest, promoters were lovely guys - I flew out with Hayley on Friday so we had all day on Saturday to see a bit of the city - I've played in Budapest loads of times but never really had the time there to actually look around... Mate gave us a great sightseeing-by-comfortable-car trip, and then for ALL YOU CAN EAT sushi - which was a BIG mistake on the restaurant's part with me and piglet in town... YUM! Jsut don't eat the white sad zombie bunnies with bleeding eyes (yes they had them as dessert sushi things... UGG).
Went to the Budapest Zoo on Saturday and had a quality time - they animals were all out, not hiding at all, so we saw all sorts of stuff (and filmed it) - camels, lions, tigers, bears, rhinos, lots of goats. In fact the highlight was watching the alpha monkey challenge the alpha goat for monkey nuts being thrown into the enclosure by an old man that was not only playing God to some degree, but literally looked like God. Apart from his green dungarees. I think I got some of this on film - will have to look later on today!
The gig was amazing - I played almost 4 hours - totally drained by the end of it but the set went phenominally - atmosphere in the club was electric, totally rammed, and a really nice system too so it was a pleasure. AND I got to try out my new goose-neck mic and talk like a robot. They recorded the set too, so as long as the levels were OK, I should have a super mega mighty 3.5 hr live set for you in the podcast feed soon...
Just uploaded a vintage video of my trip to Graz with MC Lowqui back in 2005 to my vimeo page this morning as well, I found hi-res versions of a lot of the better, older videos, so will be sprucing them up and gradually uploading behind the scenes in preparation for the grand relaunch of johnbtv.com next month... Watch. This. Space...
So it IS true that there's a friend limit on Facebook - makes sense I suppose, but a bit of a pain...
So, if you didn't get in there early - well, regardless - please add my music page - they don't have limits on the 'fan' pages on facebook and I duplicate all my content on there anyway - so you lose anything. You miss out on status updates - but they all get automatically fed through from my twitter account - so I think it all works!
My new sport will be going through my actual facebook friends and purging all the randoms that now just spam me out for all the pseudo guestlist table service booking r&b crap from cities I don't even live in. Why they don't get kicked off I don't know... It'll be a lovely liberating experience though - eventually all 5000 will be the super creme de la creme ;-)
Don't worry, I only have one PC and I don't use it for anything important - just a big badass media server for the house and streaming video to my xbox 360s and stuff - but it annoys me like no other. Thank god for my precious Macs...
I had it lovely and resurrected like a dream so decided to replace one of the HDs with a huuuge 1 TeraByte one. Then realised I didn't have the right cables, then got a new sata cable but it wasn't long enough to reach, then got the right one, but it wouldn't boot properly, then waited 4 hours for it to format and to copy over whatever needed copying etc. Anyway, its fixed now I think, and I can watch episodes of Dexter that aren't out in the UK yet. And Hayley can watch series 99 of America's Next Top model - even though we buy all the DVDs eventually anyway!
Hurrah.
I could probably pay to fly the actors from the show to come and act it out for me if I spent nearly as much time making tunes as I do being the IT support guy for my house... :-p
Before I forget about it, which I hope I do (well, the bad airport parts anyway)...
If you follow me on Twitter then you would have seen the rough travel stuff I dealt with last weekend - in true John B style of course, but it still got pretty stressful!
Despite the fact I'm in and out of Heathrow several times a week and how much could potentially go wrong with delays and missed connections these days, things usually run nicely and I rarely miss a flight because of it, and even then usually find a way of getting to the gig on time... When things start messing up that are out of my hands I just do my best to stay calm and use my supertraveller skills to sort it out - quick thinking & the stuff I learned through PUA to do with communication etc all help. Although this weekend it was mostly about doing stuff very quickly, some brisk walking and some out alpha-ing of a very rude French security LADY.
I never thought I'd end up having to use social dynamics techniques to get past a troll at an airport checkpoint... Thank you Tyler & Eric... ;-)
So for the first time ever I turned up at the airport at the wrong time on Friday, I'd misread my itinerary, the time in bold was the arrival time in Brussels, not the departure time, so I went to the desk to check in but the plane had long since gone - even though I was nice and early. Ticket was non-refundable/non-changable as is pretty standard these days, so I was left having to pay for a new one for £160. Nice. Luckily there was one pretty soon, so I still made it to Brussels in time, but not in a leisurely fashion...
Gig in Belgium was great - lovely promoters & guys at the night - turned out he's going to help me with some php programming if I need it for the new sites I'm working on... (john-b.com/site)
Next day, got to Brussels arport for my 230pm flight, to cut a long story short it transpired BA had cancelled the 530pm flight back to Heathrow, and delayed ours until then, and combined all the passengers onto one flight. Leaving me with not much time at all to get on my next flight to Basel. As it happened I made the flight with minutes to spare, but my suitcase didn't so I didn't have a lot of my stuff when I got to Switzerland! I always have my main CDs with me, and basic make-up etc, so it didn't really affect the show, just my comfort, and choice of stuff to wear... Oh, and my classy improvised DJ bag - the hotel laundry bag...
Next day, they cancelled my return flight form Basel to Heathrow, but I only found out on the way to the airport. Had to zooom there and get in the ticket line, blag a ticket on Air France, via Paris CDG - zoom to the Air France desk, who couldn't see the new reservation becuase the etickets take a while to get through the system - boarding had already started... Managed to sort it eventually, steamed through security and straight onto the plane as soon as I made it to the gate... THEN - get to Paris, in a different terminal, so have to get a bus to the other terminal, then get through the security which was at an absoulute standstill... (You know French + queueing sytems = pain...). People were actually sitting on the floor and just compressing the whole thing if they were actually moving, nothing moving through really, madness - and my flight was already boarding too - if I hadn't done anything I'd have missed it, on a rebooked ticket so Air France wouldn't have been too helpful should I have missed the flight. Anyway, stress. Found a line for Business class passengers, which was working OK, and there was no one waiting in line - put on my most polite voice and explained simply my situation to the lady who just switched on me soooooooo horrifically, shouted at me GO AWAY and turned her back on me and held her arms out, SOOOO RUDE! I started asking loudly 'GET ME YOUR SUPERVISOR - MY FLIGHT IS BOARDING' and some other woman comes, so then I switched to my special wavering help-me-this-lady-is-evil-and-you-probably-know-it-you-have-to-work-with-her-don't-let-her-take-another-soul voice and the 2nd lady let me through. I can't emphasize enough how pure evil that first lady was. Anyway, zooomed through, got to the gate and walked straight on the plane, last one on again. If she'd got her way I'd probably still be stuck there like Tom Hanks.
Just had to get that off my chest... ;-)
Big up to the promoters from both gigs this weekend though - top guys and excellent gigs! And thanks for the Swiss Chocolate!!!
Man I'm frazzled. Was up far too early to take Hayley to the station to get into London for Uni lectures etc after a pretty late night out for Styles' birthday with Linus, Smunty & Hayley...
Went staight to work in the Beta Office working on a new john-b.com news/blog site... It's shaping up really well, and should be a nice newsfeedy hub for all my media as it gets posted up - videos etc. Also sorting out any of the new tour videos and uploading them to the many video portals you have to send them to these days...
If I don't see another LCD display for a few days I can't say I'll be sorry!
Off to the airport in the morning again for the gigs this weekend, first flying out to Brussels to play in Ostend on Friday night, then back in and out of Heathrow on Saturday to get to Switzerland. Gona be a bit heavy, but looking forward to the gigs and playing some of the new tracks that have come in this week... Greg Packer's come out of hibernation with a wikkid new track called 'Space Rock' - and my mate Mr. Mendez send over a Mindless Self indulgence bootleg some of his friends did that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE! Got some hot new Black Sun Empire stuff too. Hurrah!
Yes I HAVE been busy! Need to spend more time in the studio than editing videos right?
Filmed this back in August when I played in Donoskoy City, a cool city about 2-3 hours drive from Moscow. The promoter was a really cool guy, a local Government official, but he had a special nature park place, with a lake and outdoor nightclub all connected in - think they had plans to build a little hotel there too in the future and promote tourism to the area. The idea being people could come and escape from the hustle and bustle of Moscow to see come nice countryside and go fishing etc - but at nighttime it goes all Ibiza, Russian style!
Alas we were VERY unlucky with the weather - one of the biggest thunderstorms I've ever seen (apart from in Texas) decided to come and hassle us, in fact I'm suprised the plane was even allowed to land in Moscow - so what could have been a load of happy Russian ravers dancing to the sounds of John B under the moonlight was more of a mudpit under thunder and lightening and floods... We still had a great time, but it was a shame that the first time they paid to fly out an international DJ the weather scuppered it :-( I'll be back next year though and they promised me it will be sunny then... ;-)
Big thanks to all the guys that helped out, and for the BLINSKI ETLITCHNA!!!!
Oh, and see the vid through till the end - you get a nice bit of a VJ video for my remix of Glamour for Better at the end...
Thought I'd post this up here as its for a good cause...
I'll be playing an electrotechno set at this gig so come on down - my friend MC Lowqui is emigrating to Australia so there's a big send off party in Brixton, raising money for charity into the bargain!
Thursday 16th Oct 08 @ Plan B, 418 brixton Road, SW9 7AY (There is parking on side streets near the venue.)
Dress Code: its fancy dress, hats & wigs, or anything goes. so go stylish in a hat or jokes in a wig or full out fancy dress or be boring...
Saturday was pretty wierd to be honest, but in a good way. It had been a heavy week really - did Cologne on Thursday, then London on Friday night, where much wine was consumed, then flew to Moscow for this gig on Saturday, then home on Sunday. I was actually in Heathrow Terminal 5 for 4 days in a row. They must have thought I was scoping out the duty free to nick some Chanel for Christmas or something...
So yeah, I was a bit daunted at the prospect of playing with electical equipment in a Russian Swimming pool (you've heard about the party where the ravers got blinded by lazers - and seen the photos of the flamethrowers behind me last time in Moscow). But it was worth it - I was literally laughing the whole 2 hours I was playing at just how random the situation was - if I'd known properly in advance I'd have been rocking the speedos too.
Gotta say big thanks to Mary and Max & everyone that took care of me, and Dimitri - good luck with the winemaking in Alsace mate!
So yeah, I was playing 2-4am in a water park, in the middle of a shopping mall, in the middle of Moscow - surrounded by people that would normally be full-on ravers, except they were in bikinis & speedos - but still dancing at full-pelt!
Big shouts out to Marcus Lanyon and all the people helping out on Friday night when I played at the Royal College of Art Students' Union in London. The whole gang came down and rockkkked it. Hayley dressed as Lara Croft, for the Superheroes theme thing, and Smunty almost went as Kong but chickened out.
I really enjoyed playing, so much so that I did 3 hours, and really was able to play across the board, lots of DnB of course, but I had so much time that I could really play what I wanted and take it right through some dirty electro & techno too. Only downside of the night was some eager young student boys knocking my wine over all my CDs :-( I'll just consider it performance art and save them in case they become famous so I can sell them and buy a swimming pool... ;-)
Don't know where this little feellah came from but he somehow sneaked into the house and waiting to ambush me when I got home... We released him back into the wild ;-)
Think I managed to extract almost 200 unreleased remixes, different versions, things that have previously only been on vinyl, or white labels, and stuff I never got round to releasing from these DATs (the tapes you used to use to record finished tracks onto in the studio before CDRs & super-powerful computers...). Have gone through and remastered most of them too and sorted out for digital release and the best ones to get included on some new compilations, greatest hits type stuff... Exciting...
And now I can give the DAT machine back to Martin's dad, after over a year! Got some apologising to do! ;-)
If you want to hop on over there and try it out, and join in on the discussions (and fill us in if you spot any technical problems we haven't spotted yet) then take a look at www.john-b.com/board and register and get involved! Hopefully it will develop into a cool hub to keep up to date on things and network with my other fans/followers...
Thought I'd post this up here so you spot it if you were planning to come, I know a few of you have been emailing my agent and stuff asking about details for the show...
Unfortunately the Bassment guys had to cancel this particular event due to venue difficulties - but I will be playing there at a future event in February. They ARE still using the venue, got a BIG event with Shy FX coming up too so everything's cool otherwise...
"It would have been impossible to put the event on as a free entry night which is what we wanted it to be... Bassment is not about ripping people off and just wants to get good music out to as many people as possible".
Just thought I'd let you know as soon as I knew in case you were planning a huge trip down from Australia or something... ;-)
(Me riding a mechanical bull here in Dallas back in 2003)
Got a few spare moments here at Dallas airport waiting for my flight to LA so thought I'd check in with you guys! Had a fabulous gig last night here at the Lizard Lounge - so thanks to everyone that came out...
Was a loooonnnng day yesterday - I flew straight out of London direct to Dallas - about a 10 hour flight, we got delayed because they couldn't close the cargo door, and then when we got to Dallas had to wait 2 hours for the bags to come out because it was jammed shut! Haha! I bet the Dallas maintenance crew were cursing the Heathrow dudes... Met some nice brits while I was waiting at belt 5 anyway so no harm done really - just ate into my disco nap time a bit...
You can see the post-gig discussions over on the forums at www.dallasdancemusic.com and hopefully some decent photos in the coming days - I spotted a couple of dudes with big cameras around about the place so they should surface eventually. Big shouts to Big John over there for taking care of me (although I need to teach him what constitutes good wine...) hehe and Jeremy and the guys on before me - I didn't really have time to chat so feel a bit bad about that - those guys brought me out to Dallas a fair few times in the past... Was also great to finally meet Mark Subsonik - definitely a producer to look out for - I really love the trancey DnB stuff he's doing and I've been trying to persuade him to do something for Beta... So watch this space...
Oh and bollox to iTunes video selection. I've been MEGA getting into a show called 'the wire' - watched about 6 episodes on my iphone back to back on the way over here, but realised I missed a few episodes of season 3 when I was copying them the day before I flew out... For some reason iTunes UK store only has season 1 and 5 available - but the USA store has all of them and it won't let me get em. Lame... If anyone out there has season 3, episodes 2, 4 and 6 and can rapidshare them to me today I'd love you forever... (I have the DVD at home so its not naughty...)
Anywayyy. Off to LA now, playing some big rave there tonight which should be interesting... My old Uni mates from Durham are in town too so I'm hoping we can link...
Just spotted this while bumbling through their site - didn't spot it in the print version though, so hope I didn't miss it. If anyone has a copy and can scan it for me that would be lovely...
"Glamour For Better - Architects Of Discotech (John B Remix) (Ear Candy)
John B is truly one of the most multi-talented producers on the planet, having adeptly spanned every style in dnb with his own special penchant for '80s electro-inspired pieces. Re-hashing duties here are fulfilled with a rave-inspired bumpy choco-latte slider that lasts from start to finish. And successfully going against the grain (as always), expect sanguine chanted lyrics, rising sunrise chords and the sort of riffs that make you feel at peace with yourself. (4/5)"
In case you were wondering why the blog was quiet for the last week or so, it was because I was away getting a mega-tan in Greece.
Back on the case now though - played Donetsk in Ukraine on Saturday night (photos coming tomorrow) and getting things done in the studio as we speak. Off to Dallas and LA this weekend - very excited about that!
Quick post just to let you know I've redesigned and updated the www.john-b.com site & the Beta Recordings site AND all the other labels sites too...
Been really busy actually - thought it was long overdue that I actually got something up at www.john-b.com instead of it just redirecting to the Beta Recordings website (which is looking a bit old now to be brutally honest) - so I've been reading up on web design and actually did it myself!
The other ones are all pretty simple - but I think its good to tie everything in together and get a base to build up Tangent & Nu Electro in their own right, and get some more excellent music out there...
Had a pretty cool weekend - contrasted the mega club glamour of Circus on Friday night and Mark Moore's amazing Italo Disco extravaganza at Escape in Soho on Saturday with some proper English Village activities... YES YES THE LITTLEWICK SHOW.
Got the gang together and went to a big field near my house with lots of marquees and random village fair stuff. Line Dancing Grannies, The Handsomest Dog show, Cake Decorating competition winners, giant onions and most importantly the FERRET IN THE BIN! Every year they have some family who keep ferrets, and they have a little race track for them, and a sideshow where they put the ferret in the bin and you have to bet which hole he'll come out of! Hahahah! Genius...
Hope you managed to catch my session on Radio 1 last night - if not you still can by doing the 'listen again' thing on the BBC Radio 1 Website here...
As I mentioned before they were filming us too, and here's the video. As predicted I look super dodgy - serious double-chin bizniz going on - must get down the gym this week!!
Just got back home after a bit of a mission - played at club Prive in Tallinn last night... No sleep and a 6am departure back this morning pretty much straight from the club! I'll be going to bed in a sec...
Gotta say it was an amazing vibe in there - best crowd I've played to in a bit - really good energy! Thanks everyone! Man it was hot onstage though - my makeup was all over the place by the end of it!
Big up to SS as well and Happy Birthday man...
Every club should have a wall of John B plasma TVs...
Dazed this morning 5am.
Wasn't sure if this was a hallucination or a moose. Or a deer. Or Breakfast. Helsinki about 7am.
Went to the BBC on Monday evening to hook up with Nerm & D-Code and record my guest mix and interview for the show that's going out on Thursday night (2-4am UK Time) on Radio 1 as part of their 'In New DJs We Trust' show.
They had me in there with Dubstep genius Rusko, who also did a mix and interview too - we were all just generally joking around in the studio - think it'll make pretty good radio - although Nerm was getting a bit sexuallllll with us... You'll see... Hope I don't sound like a twat!
Got on really well with Rusko though - and found out he lives just up the road from me, so we're gona have a bash at a track together - his style of dubstep is pretty electro-ey so I think it could be FABBBUUUULOUS!
There was a guy in there filming the whole session too - that'll be up on the BBC website on Thursday too and I'll be able to post a link here too.
Here's me posing in the (v hot studio) with a slightly bemused Rusko looking on...
Had a fun weekend - took Hayley to my big gig in Poland, for Creamfields in a little town called Wroclaw (no idea how you actually pronounce that!). Was good to catch up with all the other guys on the bill - Spor, MC Lowqui, High Contrast etc were all on the same flight as us & shared the ryanair experience...
We'd bumped into Commix, Logistics, Marcus, Stamina etc etc at Scala the night before for the DNBA Gold party - but missed a few in Poland as our set times were so far apart. I think Goldie must have gone straight to Stansted from the Scala, on the plane to Poland for Creamfields, then back the same night to get ready for that BB2 conducting tv show. Now THAT's hardcore!
They'd had a hurricane during the day and all main stage acts got cancelled - but luckily we were in a tent so still got to play - although MAN that place was super mudpit stylee. I had the hotel laundry bags over my shoes the whole time - looked like a tramp!
Here it is - your chance to play a vital role in deciding the outcome of the most important poll in dance music.

Exclusive Video for "When The Time Comes" on YouTube
After the resounding success of Mr. Freud/ Red Sky topping the drum and bass arena chart for a month, and hanging around in the beatport dnb top 10 for just as long, super producer & DJ John B is ready to give you another taster from his new album in the workings TRN ME ON.
Continuing to push his personal and stylistic boundaries, When the Time Comes and Dancing in the Dark blaze into a new more mature direction for the maverick. This is music made for centre stage arenas; and the definitive thinking mans drum and bass.
When the Time Comes starts out as a simple idea, exceptionally executed. It subtly builds bubbling analogue arpeggios contrasting with the crisp phuture-808 drums. It is beautifully crafted drum and bass, inspired into a new direction, melting with progressive house influences & electro trance. Characteristically evading categorisation, John B once again raises the bar for dnb production, taking on the genre and resetting it with a tune that seeps with the style of Eric Prydz, Deep Dish and Deadmau5. It has already defined and loaded the atmosphere at Johns high profile gigs such as Ultra, The WMC & The Starscape Festival in the USA & Pirate Station events in Russia. Quite simply this is both John B at his best, and how youve never seen him before.
In Dancing in the Dark John B takes a characteristic flip and wires into a harder, heavier sound. Mashing distorted beats and siren sounds this tune thrashes out some seriously gritty dance floor friendly drum and bass. Well we say friendly, but this is a nasty cut up dnb anthem; with distorted vox that smacks of Boys Noize, Justice et al. So dont let the trancey epic intro/break fool you, this tune will drop with head smashing consequences. Its a real crowd pleaser, thats proud to be angry...
Big Shot Magazine Review John B - When The Time Comes / Dancing In The Dark / Numbers 4/5
D&B's own '80s pop star is back, and he's more electro than ever. Slipping a selection of influences into a cracking set of tracks here, Monsieur B keeps you guessing at every turn. 'When The Time Comes' rocks out with some arpeggiated goodness and electro-esque drums before melding itself with progressive house and trance to create a twisting monster of a tune. 'Dancing In The Dark' takes things to the next level with a dirtier and altogether heavier sound, but still retaining that aloof electro attitude. Finally 'Numbers' completes the package, although this one will only be available as a Beatport exclusive. Skipping drum patterns and interspersed bass cuts mingle nicely, rubbing shoulders with more of that progressive outlook. Nice work John.
Dogsonacid.com Review
Simply put, John B has the electrostep on lock. 'When The Time Comes' starts out simple enough, with an ascending melody bubbling to a boil, but instead of the normal boisterous funk that John has been known to drop as of late, this tune tops into a calm workout, never getting too crazy, yet still keeping you deep within the groove. Sounds like the perfect track that skillful DJs can work into some fabulous blends! For those who are looking for something to blast while playing arcade games, 'Dancing In The Dark' is just what the doctor ordered. Once that 'dancing in the dark' sample comes in, this one is going nowhere but into the gutter, and emerges as a DnB anthem that's both sick and thick. John B definitely has an array of sounds in his sampler, and knows how to work varying vibes into his sound. And for those who are copping this track on MP3, Beatport has an exclusive track, the melodic-synth rinser 'Numbers', that you can grab as well.
2. JOHN B ON BBC RADIO 1 NEXT WEEK!
John B will be a guest on BBC Radio 1 on the In New DJs We Trust show with Nerm & D-Code on Friday August 15th, 2-4am (Saturday morning). We're told he'll be doing a b2b mix with Dubstep superstar DJ Skream, and being interviewed by the guys... Nice one!
