JohnnyGfromPhilly Presents Studio Soda

Way Out in New Hope Mix

This mix was inspired for a night at the Salt House located in New Hope, PA. Recorded using a Bozak mizer, 1200's, always vinyl ;). Upstairs is a quiet, cozy, and very intimate setting for these selections in the above mix to call home.  Come to the Salt House for a fantastic dinning and cocktail experience.

JohnnyGfromPhilly's "A Night At The Salt House"

JohnnyGfromPhilly, Philadelphia’s underground dance secret, is one of the few DJ’s still playing vinyl and pushing an authentic approach to underground dance music.  A veteran of the Dance music scene since 1993, John has devoted every ounce of energy and every dime into collecting the most beautiful music he can find. His selections are equally at home on the shores of Ibiza or at a Brooklyn Loft party stuffed with dazzling lights and balloons going way into the wee morning hours.
 



Growing up in the Philadelphia suburbs John was inspired by the late-night radio sessions of Robbie Tronco.  It was at the age of 13 when he first traveled to England and saw what house music looked like in London’s Leicester Square. Eleven years later he was playing at Layo Paskin’s club called “The End” in London and attending the Lazy Dog Parties of Ben Watt and Jay Hannan at Notting Hill Arts Club. His next move was to Dance music’s mecca, New York City.  It was there where he met and saw his musical inspiration, Tony Humphries.  John learned how to warm up a dance floor and work the energy of the room by watching Tony slowly increase the tempo, only to break it down in the most dynamic of ways. In 2007 John was invited to participate in the prestigious Red Bull Music Academy. He was one of of only two people from the Philadelphia area to attend.
 



Today, John is an acknowledged musical historian, and while some may accuse him of living in the past, he would say that you must understand the past to appreciate the future. His dj sets transcend notions of genre and age, instead tying together many different styles with threads that may not be immediately apparent. On hearing his sets, though, the connections make sense. Simply put, John is a devotee of beautiful and soulful dance music, be it house, disco, boogie, jazz, rock, and beyond!
