Gramrcy & John Loveless - Highdive, out now on Phantasy
https://lnk.to/GJLPH118

John Loveless is a DJ and writer, hailing from the North-West of England and based in Berlin, founder of Hot Concept, a series of parties and a digital label. Resident on Cashmere Radio and a creative force at Phantasy Sound.

Impulsively fascinated by music and culture since his teenage years, John Loveless has quietly earned a reputation as one of electronic music’s most devoted and unlikely characters. A sonically malleable club obsessive, Loveless is founder and resident DJ at the party and label Hot Concept, as well as a regular fixture at underground Berlin events such as Weeeirdos and Power Play. He has performed at clubs across Europe including The Warehouse Project, Ohm, XOYO, Soup Kitchen, Golden Pudel and The White Hotel, as well as the Manchester International Festival.

Initially founded in 2018 as a party series, Loveless’s label Hot Concept has quickly earned acclaim in fostering a community of independent minded but radically different artists. Each connected by leftfield perspectives on electronic music, it’s quickly expanding discography has included singles and albums courtesy of Bleaching Agent, Beigean, Pokies and Yr Lovely Dead Moon. 

Hot Concept also hosted Loveless’s first remix production, a collaboration with Gramrcy under the guise of ‘Gramrcy & Loveless’, providing an extension of Discovery Zone’s ‘Dance II’ in the generous mould of Francois K or Shep Pettibone. The pair continue to collaborate in similar spirit but always diverse sounds, providing thoughtful and floor-ready reworks for Ghost Culture, Galaxians and Shanti Celeste.

Since 2014, Loveless has been an increasingly influential creative force within Phantasy Sound, the London-based record label founded by Erol Alkan. In 2020, Loveless curated and mixed ‘A Psychedelic Sensibility’, a special mix and collection revisiting the label’s back catalogue as it approached 100 single releases. The release was reviewed as ‘Compilation of The Month’ in Groove Magazine, and featured as ‘Compilation of The Week’ on BBC Radio 6 Music.

Loveless has also presented one of the longest-running shows on Berlin’s community focused Cashmere Radio, ‘Display Resolution’. True to his open-minded musical endeavours, each show features forward-thinking selections, reissues and unexpected finds, as well as guest DJ sets and live performances from friends, allies and influences such as Daniel Avery, Justin Strauss, Josh Cheon, Fred P, Cormac, Karen Gwyer, African Acid is The Future and more.

As a writer and music journalist under the guise of ‘John Thorp’, John has written extensively about electronic music for a number of publications over the past decade, including The Guardian, Bandcamp, Mixmag and Beatportal. He maintains a long-form artist interview series, ‘The Forum’, for Phantasy Sound.
