Jon Hester for DifferentSound Podcast #267.

The DifferentSound Podcast #267 welcomes Jon Hester, a techno artist whose journey from the Midwest US to Berlin has been marked by a passion for pushing the boundaries of electronic music. With a career spanning over two decades, Hester has left his mark on renowned venues such as Berghain Berlin, Rex Club Paris, and fabric London.

With music released on Rekids, Klockworks, Deeply Rooted, and performances worldwide at clubbing institutions such as Berghain Berlin, Rex Club Paris, fabric London, and Vent Tokyo, he is equally keen for the fresh intensity of newer clubs dotting South America and South Africa. Jon continues building on the very expression he connected with more than 20 years ago via his label, Participation, an outlet for his own output as well as collaborative efforts with fellow artists in the global techno and house community. The collaborations are realized through a reciprocal exchange of sketches between artists, with artwork comprised of a simple one-line drawing from Hester himself – underscoring the directness, honesty, and immediacy of the music presented.

Jon Hester - Tech Clubbers Podcast #410

Departing the cool summer nights and hazy heat of Sunday mornings dancing at Panorama Bar in Berlin, in August of 2011 I was in Ibiza, staying at the DC-10 crew house with my friend and EDEC label partner Andrew Grant. Enjoying the Mediterranean vibes, I took to the airwaves of @ibizaglobalradio one sultry afternoon. This is the recording of that broadcast - a slow, deliberate, summery groove, weaving through airy dub, simmering house, and psychedelic techno.

Ibiza Global Radio session - August 24, 2011

PARADOX PODCAST #208 -- JON HESTER

This week's Global Vibe Radio mix is a 3 hour 20 minute set courtesy of Dystopian and Klockworks producer/DJ Jon Hester, recorded live at an intimate party at an undisclosed location.

Exclusive Interview: www.6am-group.com/interview-and-global-vibe-radio-137-feat-jon-hester

Jon Hester got his start in the midwest US, living in Chicago, Minneapolis, and connecting with Detroit. After years on the dance floor he took to the decks, going on to work in a record shop, host his own events, and hold residencies that developed his sound. Music production and a move to Berlin followed, but dancing and mixing are still the inspirations that drive him to create. His DJ sets are built on physical rhythms and adventurous programming, effortlessly combining diverse varieties of techno and house. With an engaging presence and a knack for telling a story, he builds a unique connection with each audience, and works any room until it sweats.
