Born in Stuttgart, Germany, grew up in Oslo, Norway in the 80's -  listening to the likes Men At Work & Kraftwerk. Shipped off to the U.S. in 1985.  Christian started Dj'ing at the age of 15 circa 1989, playing his way into clubs and rave parties.  Soon he found himself organizing events which would draw 1000's dancing until sunrise. Taking hiatus around 2000 to raise a family, Christian brings his experience back to the decks of today.

PABULUM [pab-yuh-luh m]:
1.   something that nourishes an animal or vegetable organism; food; nutriment.
2.  intellectual nourishment.

John Pabulum has been in love with Acid House from the moment it graced his ears in 1989. It was a struggle to find the elusive genre until he went to his first rave parties in 1991... this became the catalyst for him to share his love for both by getting as involved as possible! As a dj for the underground scene, his first gig was in 1995 at the legendary “old” World Beat Center in San Diego, California.

Since then, he has become the underground's
best kept secret. He has made people happy on the dance floor around the world alongside local and international legends including: Mark Quark, Doc Martin, DJ Dan, Mark Farina, Juan Atkins, Tony Humphries, Chemical Brothers, Paul Johnson, Mark Grant, Brett Johnson, Roy Davis Jr, Markus Nikolai, Halo, Hipp-E, Pezzner, Miles Maeda, Dmitri of Deee-Lite ...the list goes on. 

John moved to Rome, Italy, in the year 2000 and held residencies in some of the capital's best clubs, including Goa, Akab, and SupperClub. In 2017, he moved back to his beloved San Diego, reconnecting with the dancefloor, bringing out some old fans and creating new ones. He has also been throwing some of San Diego's most memorable events since he revived Mindfruit in 2018! 

The pandemic called for a shift in the way DJs performed. As a dj, John was asked to feature on a plethora of international shows supporting names like Jesse Saunders, Fred Everything, DJ Mes, Alexander East, JT Donaldson, and many others. Mindfruit also had some of the most recognized names in the business featured on their show: Paul Johnson, Lil Mark, Demuir, Mark Grant, Pezzner, Diz, Hector Moralez, and many others!
 
Post pandemic: Shows booked in Mexico, Italy, Germany, and throughout the US. Mindfruit is on a hiatus so as to come back in a way that is a twist to the norm. 

DJ SPUN (NYC) 

Few have contributed as much to the ongoing vitality of dance music in NYC in the new millennium, or been such a welcome guest at the world’s cult house, disco, and techno parties. Weather playing Panorama Bar in Berlin, Liquid Room in Tokyo, or a classic disco set for Horse Meat Disco in London, Spun's unique style and approach always sets him apart from the crowd. His Promo Only imprint is credited with bringing the worldwide disco edit craze to the U.S.A. Rong Music and their dual imprint collaboration with fellow NY dance floor eclecticist DFA put out some of the most compelling, and carefully curated, releases of the Noughts. The parties he throws are the stuff of legend. For seven years the curator of MoMA/P.S.1’s prestigious Warm Up Music series, his All Night Rong parties boast a devoted following from London to Tokyo. For 20+ years his DJ sets, releases and remixes on his own labels and others have seen him aligning with influential pioneers of dance music including  Francois K, DJ Harvey, Daniel Wang, Stephen Hall of Arthur Russell and Loose Joints fame, Douglas J.McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb, Radio Slave, Maceo Plex, James Chance and the Contortions, the Idjut Boys, and many more. Watch out for his collaborative projects “Acid Experience” with Dhyan Møller, “BlakSpun” with Mark Bell (aka Blakkat) and live/electronic PsychedelicRavePunk group “the Loose Control Band” with Jonah Sharp (Spacetime Continuum, Reagenz)...

DJ’s, Producers and label owners, Andy Riley and Laurence Ritchie (AKA Inland Knights) have created a brand name that most House heads have heard of.  Whether you like it deep , tech or more funky – when you think about Drop Music or Inland Knights a certain style of House comes to mind that is uniquely their own. Andy and Laurence’s reach is global, and their label’s continue to produce some of the finest House music 15 years after they started back in the UK, within Nottingham's party scene.

Andy and Laurence  met in ’93 and cut their teeth Dj’ing for Smokescreen, the renegade sound system from which they drew their early inspiration. Smokescreen consisted of dj’s, lighting people, sound people, a truck, a P.A, a generator and general helpers. Old warehouses, woodland, fields, quarries and houses were utilized with the sole intention of having a good time…. for free! By the mid 90’s smokescreen could guarantee a crowd of hundreds in attendance at their parties(which were most weekends), and their club nights became local institutions that ran for years with packed dancefloors. Into their 21st year, Smokescreen are still going strong and are still hosting quality club nights and parties in and around the Midlands.

By ’98 Laurence and Andy had made the inevitable step into production and the same year their fledgling label, Drop Music, was born. With the release of ‘Inland Knights vol 1’ , Riley and Ritchie undertook a busy schedule to write tracks for Drop  (almost all of the early output was Inland knights, despite many monikers). Drop Music has gone on to become one of the most highly regarded House labels in recent years (with 80 plus releases to date), and Inland Knights have gone on to become one of the most respected and prolific production outfits in the House community, carving a unique and distinctive House sound, and regularly taking on remix and Ep duties for fellow labels and producers. Highlights include the acclaimed ‘Mohammed Ali’ remix for Faithless on Cheeky Records, CD compilations and remixes for NRK and Om Records, three Ep's on 2020 Vision, Inland Knights first full length album entitled ‘Creative Spaces’, and more recently, Inland Knights album to mark 10 years of Drop Music entitled ‘Dust till Dawn’, not to mention countless Ep's on other labels over the years and a 30-minute live mix on Radio 1’s ‘Essential Selection’ show. More recently, the pair released 'Inland Bytes', a retrospective look at Inland Knights career so far.

Currently, as well as remix, production and label commitments, the pair maintain a busy international Dj schedule which takes them further and further afield as their reputation grows. Bookings have included regular slots at UK clubbing institutions such as Fabric, The End, The Egg, The Cross, Turnmills, Shindig, Back 2 Basics,  Sanky's, Chibuku Shake Shake, Ministry Of Sound, Cargo, Déjà Vu, The Arches and The Sub Club in Scotland, as well as smaller more intimate venues nationwide. Countless international trips have seen them tour the Globe. Most weekends Inland Knights can be found DJ'ing up and down the UK or Europe with regular international tours a permanent fixture in their Diaries.

HI! I've been an underground house music dj since 1994. I've played all over the US. I've lived in Knoxville, TN, Atlanta, GA, Kansas City, MO, and now San Diego, CA. While in Kansas City, I was lucky enough to work with DeepFix Records. Not only were we a household name for underground house from 2001-2007, we threw a crazy sick party called Frisky with all of our favorite Djs ; Derrick Carter, Luke Solomon, Mark Farina, Diz, Wally Callerio, DJ Sneak, Hector Moralez, DJ Heather, Miles Maeda... you get the picture. Since then, I've been lucky enough to become friends with some of them and play along side them many more times. They also play my tunes! I've been producing since 2001.  I've been on a bunch of cool labels like Kolour Recordings, Sampled Detroit, and Greenhouse Recordings. in 2008 Uriah West(one of the coolest guys in the world, and one of my best friends) and I started Audio Indika. It's a house music label focusing on quality, not quantity. We've put out tracks by Forrest Avery(The guy that invented the NWMC), John Hawley, Wally Callerio, Frankie J, and a whole bunch of dope underground artists. Right now you can catch me every Friday at The Air Conditioned Lounge in San Diego, and on other nights, different cities across the country.

Inspired by the underground sounds of the early ’90s, Brian decided to get behind the decks himself back in 1995.
Since then, Brian’s passion for the music has only grown with early influences rooted deeply in West Coast house and techno.
He’s had the honor of playing hundreds of gigs over the years on both coasts as well as Mexico and has played alongside some of the biggest names in the business. He’s also held down multiple residencies over the years and made his mark on the Raleigh-Durham, NC scene and alongside with his good friend Jason (Jaesunel), creating the famous “We’re Bringin’ It Back” park party series that still continues today.
Brian currently resides in St Petersburg FL with the previous 11 years in San Diego and before that 13 years in Raleigh, NC and continues to push forward on his journey to spread House music to the masses. You can catch him playing a number of events locally and his bi-weekly Immersion in Sound show on DanceGruv Radio and a release from Lovedancing Records.
