Born and raised in Guanajuato, México, has been living for the past 9 years in Oslo, Norway. Having spent most of his childhood in the mountain hills of the Mexican "bajío" with his indigenous ancestors brought big influence to his life. Pre-hispanic, folkloric, Latin-American, tribal and shamanic sounds conform an essential part of his musical exploration. This is for him, a way to keep his roots alive. Saul introduces complex sets, giving as result a multi-cultural sounds journey which appears to transport you to ancient rituals, always by the hand, naturally, of powerful and hypnotic basslines. Oslo has welcomed him with open arms and he's now earned the city's nightlife respect due to his consistent work. With his international debut show at iconic party Woomoon Ibiza, he's proven his talent goes beyond borders and it's ready to turn the dancefloor into the party everyone wishes to experience.

John Dimas is a truly versatile artist.

Influenced by the underground clubs of Thessaloniki, where he started DJing as a teenager after moving from Albania, it was only a matter of a few natural steps, guided by his unique way of mixing different musical influences to be playing for big, music savvy crowds inside hotspots like DC10, Amnesia, Watergate, Rex Club and Fabric.

Dimas has established himself as a highly respected selector and producer known for his deep knowledge of music. His sets always include obscure cuts that even the most avid music fans have yet to discover. “I like the art of telling a story, and giving lots of different dynamics to keep things interesting,” he says. “I don’t like to be predictable with the records I play and love to surprise the crowd.”

On a release front, he’s maintained a steady output since his 2010 debut, pushing a futuristic fusion of techno and house that is clever, energetic and infectious. Based in Berlin since 2012, his eclectic taste in music is evident when we look at his productions released on established labels such as DJ Hell’s International Deejay Gigolo, Raresh’s Metereze and most recently on Francesco Del Garda’s Timeless imprint. Dimas also runs Elephant Moon, a record label with which he aims to support new talent. The label does not accept demos, instead Dimas searches for young, emerging artists himself and mentors them throughout the process. Here he also released his 14-track LP “One Against Time” in 2018, a well executed and varied album showcasing his full artistic range.

In 2020, he launched a second imprint SYNQ as well as Intermission Records with Voigtmann to release their debut album “Internal Transmission” for their collaboration VOIGT.MAS. 2020 also saw the revival of Dimas’ other pseudonym, Secret Universe, a cross-genre electronica project formed in 2016 for the release of his first album, an ambient expedition also titled Secret Universe.
