Bio:

Jon Hemming rose to fame following the very popular shed sessions.  One of the very first live dj streams on Facebook. This brand has grown from
Strength to strength, hosting rooms at the iconic Emporium night club alongside Storm and the legendary shed sessions summer beach stage at Sundissential. This has created a strong following for the brand and for Jon.  Along side the shed sessions Jon has held residencies at stimulate, sundissential and Wax format and has had regular guest appearances at Gatecrasher, Storm, Rejuvenation and Tidy to name a few. Shed sessions also collaborated with tidy trax  to put on a vinyl only party which was a complete success. One of Jobs proudest achievements was playing along side all the legends at the Tony De it Vit 20th memorial event at the massive O2 academy in Birmingham. Jon has seen a lot of success in what appears to be a short space of time, however Jon is no newbie to the dj world. It all began in 1999 when he purchased his first set of turntables. From then the drive and ambition to succeed has never faded.  Jon’s style behind the decks is that of pure energy, he doesn’t take himself too seriously and his main goal is to deliver the best music at the right time of night. Jon is a dj that takes pride in really keeping the harder side house scene alive and he invites you to join him on a dance floor soon.
