“John Doe” is the alias of Russian born DJ, Vadim Golikov.

Not long after still in 2008, he started to make guest appearances at other popular Melbourne nightclubs including seven, motel, and room680, and then even became a weekly resident at room680. 

Vadim’s talent quickly led him to becoming a regular guest DJ on a weekly radio show “Korova Fridays Show” on Kiss FM.

Vadim made his first guest appearance at Two Floors Up, also commonly known as “TFU”, in November 2008 when he played at the afterparty for the Stereosonic Music Festival. Vadim’s passion for the techno and minimal sound with crazy melodies driving baselines was why his talent was so quickly recognized at TFU.

After that impressive performance he secured a residency at all Likes of You events, supporting other huge internationals such as Oliver Huntemann (GER), Stephan Bodzin (GER),Oliver Koletzki (GER), Seth Troxler (GER), Audiojack (UK), Claude Vonstroke (USA), Josh Wink (USA), Danny Howells (UK), Format B (GER), Nathan Fake (UK), Alex Smoke (UK), Arnaud Le Texier (UK), Johnny D (GER), Butch (GER) and Sasha (UK).

Vadim supported the likes of Prodigy (UK), Franz Ferdinand (UK), David Guetta (FRA), Booka Shade (GER), Erick Morillo (USA), John Digweed (UK), Sven Vath (GER), Above & Beyond (UK) and Dubfire just to name a few. 

Today, Vadim is showing no signs of slowing down. His unique style of mixing and versatile sound continues to be in high demand to this day.
