"Travel the music & world"

https://ra.co/dj/davejohns

Born in 1989, dj/producer since 2007, this french guy with a taste for english and american art/music culture tries to develop a trendy music about electronic genre and more in the broad sense. He loves that he calls the « black voices » as Diana Ross, Donna Summer... who represented Disco times and surely after that a solid foundation for the very respecful House music. Also, fan of Chicago House music with artists as Marshall Jefferson (« Move Your Body »), Frankie Knuckles (« Your Love », « Baby Wants To Ride »...) or Fingers Inc. creators and founders of House music.

Moreover, Dave John's a.k.a. Orangé follows his quest in the discovery of tracks across the huge universe of djs, artists, musicians and singers. His dj sets are regularly revisited according to his influences of the month. Playing in several places from the west coast of France : gigs in bars & clubs, alone, or with others djs friends, his objective is to conciliate vintage and future music. He aims to produce music for all open-minded people who love this and could understand that as a way of life. Here is his «leitmotiv » as a boy born « inside » because of his first steps in nightclubs owned by his father and relatives during his childhood.

Finally, his productions are based on space-deep-synth sounds with a preference for Detroit's culture and jazz music. He released on his own music label early in 2016 his first digital album named "Auditorium" with supports from a Detroit's head Gari Romalis, Arno Gonzalez, Iorzh Herrera, Korgbrain... That's why, in those days, Dave John's considers that as a duty and tangible claim for Culture. He established early in the 2014's a digital/physical label called Label Barbe with friends and develops different collabs since.

Besides, 2018 was a new challenge with the release of "Samples & Sequences" album featuring some "fam" from soul, jazz society - introspective things, meanings (a lot) for Dave John's - as Iorzh Herrera, Anomaly Jonez or MoIsh Mafora. 

2019 is up to date right now and with approval, some remixes have been thought with talented djs/producers for and look as a "retrofuturist" release : remixed by a real legend : Niko Marks (Détroit, USA). Moreover, Gari Romalis (stricked again for us), Arno Gonzalez [Modern, Domingo, Angers, Fr] and Arminj [Godot Lab, Paris, Fr] form "The Remixes" taken from this "Samples & Sequences" keepsake (plus a little bonus track looked as a forefront version from "The Forgotten Intro").

2020 is a "new future", a second start with Jazzé Records almost ready...

"Creativity is not everything, is the only thing"

Radiax Collective works to create and strengthen ties between artists worldwide, creating new links and building solid bridges with its public, always respecting the value of the art that is printed.

Niko Marks is a dynamic artist of the Detroit house/techno movement. He began recording in the early part of the nineties, releasing innovative and soulful house, techno, plus a mixture of other music genres. The wide variety of genres he takes on, only testifies to his adaptability and talent in being able to engage a multitude of different sounds and in the process create futuristic music.

It would later be the fortunate acquisition of a Fender Rhodes electric piano, EMU SP-1200, Korg DDD5 drum machine and a Fostex 4-track recorder, which marked the beginning of the rise of one of today’s most innovative artists. Niko is what you might label as a triple threat as his talent can be found in the roles he smoothly balances as a vocalist, musician, producer and songwriter.

One of the many forward moving phases in his musical career included teaming up with Submerge Records founder, Michael Banks to formulate a vocal house production crew called “Members of the House”. Niko also collaborated with Raphael Merriweathers under alias group band names, Unit 2 and 365 Black. This particular mission stemmed forth the high-spirited grooves, "Sunshine" - released on Happy Records, "Homeland" and "Keep Your Head Up" written by Niko and Merriweathers - released on 430 West Records.

In the infamous year of 1999, he produced a project called "Niko Marks & The City Boy Players" which featured Eddie Fowlkes and included several artists and musicians from Detroit. The project moved from techno/house to soul, R&B, Disco to hard electronic - resulting in much fun, lots of grooves, and a profusion of great vocals and classic songs.

As an artist, his releases have been signed by some of the world’s most established recording labels: Characters, Ideal, EMI, New Religion, R&S, Crammed Discs, React, Delsin, Yore Records, Planet E, Submerge and Puzzlebox. Niko has also lent his skills to remixes for artists such as Tom Tom Club, Andy Vaz, Herschel Boone, Aux 88, Helder Russo, Universal Principles, Amp Fiddler, Eric D. Clark and many more.

His music has been featured by DJ’s such as Dave Clarke, Giles Peterson, JaBig, DJ Fingers, Carl Craig, and Andrew Duke, to name a few.

His collaborations are with producers and artists: Eddie Fowlkes, Amp Fiddler, Kevin Saunderson, Ripperton, Tom Tom Club, Kid Ginseng, Andy Vaz,Trevor Deep Jr and L.A. Williams.

Amongst the latest album projects are: “Day of Knowing”, “Dark Ages”, “Love You Forever”, “Voice Box Detroit Vol. 2”, “Various Characters EP”, “Soul Meter”, “Disclosure” and “Love of My Life”.

An artist who defies generic boundaries, Niko continues to write, produce and release cutting-edge music primarily for Planet e and U2XProductions. If you like what Niko Marks has been creating so far…you’re in for a revolutionary ride…
