Some of TJSJ's earliest musical memories include trying to record Top of the Pops on a mono tape deck in the 70's with a hand held microphone, mastering the infernal pause and record buttons recording the Top 40 on Sunday evenings and making mix tapes at university in the late 80's.  Soulful house, funk and disco are his first love but he is drawn to the darker and harder side too. He loves mixing across genres and tempos playing in London clubs and venues through to small festivals.

John Monkman stands at the forefront of the global electronic music scene. Known for his dynamic performances and cutting-edge studio productions, Monkman has earned a reputation as both a live music pioneer and a master of sound design.

Affiliated with some of the most prestigious labels in electronic music, including Kompakt, Ellum, Beesemyer Music, Siamese, and Anjunadeep, Monkman delivered the spellbinding track Siren for Kompakt and collaborated with Pete Tong on Ecstasis for Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio. His releases, such as the Komplex EP on Anjunadeep and the versatile Tune In Turn On EP for Ellum, highlight his remarkable range. With two Beatport number ones—his remix of Solomon Grey's Twilight and his single Don’t Have to Be Beautiful—Monkman has further cemented his influence on the global electronic music scene.

Equally compelling is Monkman’s remix portfolio. His remix of U Love for Sasha’s LNOE 100th release, supported by Patrice Bäumel and Sasha, showcases his creative versatility. His rework of Space Date by Adam Beyer and Green Velvet for Drumcode demonstrates the respect he commands within the industry. Monkman has also been remixed by Moby. In 2023, he reunited with Pete Tong for an official remix of Duran Duran's Give It Up, marking another standout moment in his career.

On the live stage, Monkman’s impact is undeniable. He has headlined festivals like the UK’s Noisily Festival, brought his live set to the Ozora Festival in Hungary, and performed at the Anjunadeep Festival in Albania. His recent achievements include headlining Rainbow Serpent 2021. The debut of John Monkman: Live at Coachella 2018 with The DoLab was a pivotal moment, revealing his innovative approach to live performance.

The year 2024 has been a defining chapter for Monkman. His latest live show, Pulse, premiered in Paris through a collaboration with Collectif Scale, breaking new ground with its kinetic light art installation. Filmed in a Paris warehouse on July 6th, this show delivers an immersive audiovisual experience that pushes creative boundaries. In the same year, Monkman released Khord on Anjunadeep, followed by three singles—Vader, Roller Vox, and MAYA—on Beesemyer Music.

Continuously evolving as both a performer and a producer, John Monkman remains a driving force in the electronic music landscape, with his innovative studio work and electrifying live shows securing his position as a leading figure in the scene.

Kollektiv Turmstrasse, one of the most successful German live acts in electronic music, is an influential presence in the global techno and house scene. With a compelling discography featuring releases on renowned labels like Kompakt, Diynamic, Cocoon, Fabric, and FFFR, his sound is deeply rooted in house music while also drawing inspiration from breakbeat, indie dance, techno, and even elements of hip-hop and modern pop. Turmstrasse is a complex, progressive and intriguing artist who focuses on the liberated space between driving house tracks and dancefloor anthems.

UK based DJ and producer Lucas O'Brien has been rounding up dancefloors and rocking them in the right direction since he started playing funk, soul and hiphop back in the mid to late ‘80s.   Never shy of mixing up styles and genres, acid house, new-beat and techno started to creep into his sets as he started to get requests to perform at respected London clubs such as The End, Heaven, Club UK and Fabric.  

Lucas loves nothing more than having a dancefloor in his hands and working the right grooves to suit the occasion.  His knack to read a crowd and his vast experience has found him performing an array of different styles of music at many world famous institutions such as the V & A museum, the panoramic top floor of the Tate Museum of Modern Art and to a star-studded dancefloor opposite the diplodocus at the Natural History museum for the Harry Potter 3 premiere after-party. 

His trance-infused psychedelic techno music was found to crossover with the sounds being played in Goa in the early 90s… and it was this that led him to an opportunity to play at some of the early, now legendary, TIP parties hosted by Raja Ram.

Today, with three highly acclaimed chart-topping albums ‘GOD SAVE THE MACHINE’, ‘TALES OF HEADS’ and his most recent album ‘CONFESSIONS OF A SUPERMODULE’ - under his artist alias ‘SUPERMODULE’ - Lucas is recognised as one of the world’s leading psytrance DJs representing RAJA RAM’s label TIP Records globally with his unique, driving, UK psychedelic sound.
Lucas has toured extensively over that last three decades performing in over 50 different countries, and he shows no signs of slowing with his touring stretching as far afield as Europe, US, South America, Africa, Middle East, Asia and Australia.  

The same can be said for his studio productions with several exciting collaboration projects in the pipeline.  He has been working with the artists Eat Static, G.M.S, Hallucinogen, Youth, Iridian, Ingrained Instincts and Illumination to name but a few.. plus he recently released the best selling sequel to his hugely popular compilation series AVANT GARDEN.  
His new project with Celli EARTHLING, called ‘MANDELBROT’, has already been tearing up dancefloors worldwide after several high profile live sets including the main stage at OZORA Festival, BOOMTOWN, MUNDO DE OZ, UNIVERSO PARALLELO and BOOM festival.

Going back to his roots, Lucas has been working on a techno project with the respected techno/house/breaks producer Ben Coda as well as writing downtempo psy-dub music with Ric Featherstone under their moniker SYBARITE.

Known for setting dance floors alight with his diverse quality sounds and masterful mixing, he has become a firm favourite at prominent clubs and festivals worldwide.

Labels Lucas has music released on: 
TIP, Dragonfly, Flying Rhino, Zero-1, Grasshopper, Nano, Iboga, IbogaTech, 24/7, Sacred Technology, Blue Hour Sounds, Goa Productions, Liquid, Hadra, Aphid, Future Music, Space Tribe Music, Digital Om, Yellow Sunshine Music, Moonloop, BMSS, Dacru, Blissdom

No accurate depiction of electronic music culture would be complete without special mention of Deborah De Luca. Widely acknowledged as one of the most prominent flag-bearers for Techno globally and a regular fixture inside the world’s most distinguished DJ booths, Deborah has the unique ability to transfix crowds with her electrically charged, technically nuanced sets, fusing hard techno with minimal grooves and melodic soundscapes to absorbing effect. A pioneer in the use of social networks as a promotional tool, whilst somehow managing to retain a strong sense of discretion in her private life, Deborah is unrivalled in her determination and passion, earning every part of her current status as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the international Techno scene over the past decade.
Born under the shade of the infamous Vele di Scampia – one of the toughest districts in Naples – the now-globally recognised DJ, producer and label head came from humble beginnings, forging her path to international success against unlikely odds. However this was to become her making. “You shouldn’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t become”, she expounded in a rare interview, referencing her early livelihood as a nightclub dancer. “It’s true, in recent years I have gained popularity, but I am very grateful for the long journey it’s taken”. More than anything else, Deborah’s roots and her unwavering ethic are an integral part of the flourishing artist we see before us today.
Deborah spent the formative years of her musical career in Northern Italy, following a brief stint at fashion school in Modena. Cutting her teeth on the European club circuit, where she quickly realised music was her true calling, Deborah’s hard work and relentless determination eventually began to pay off and in 2013 she launched her very own imprint Sola_mente Records. Created as a platform by which to release her own music, free from creative pressure and external constraints, the label went from strength to strength and in November 2018, Deborah marked a decade-long career in the industry with the critically acclaimed release of her debut album ‘Ten’. A huge milestone for the Italian producer, ‘Ten’ represented an important rite of passage and a body of work that she would cherish indefinitely.

Jimmy V has been releasing underground house records for many years gaining notoriety and support from Sam Divine and Fisher to Claude VonStroke, Riva Starr and Blond-ish, adding thousands of streams of his tracks.
He enjoyed early success with an explosive debut EP "No Way Back”. The follow up, a unique remix of "Rebel" by Della Zouch and a highly respected standout track "Lose My Mind” featuring English singer Liz Cass . San Francisco imprint Smoke n Mirrors came calling and signed “Sam” with Jimmy V joining a star roster that included Pillowtalk, Maxxi Soundsystem and Shiny Objects. He then co-produced releases “Amasonica” and “Yukongo” with Chevy that’s seen them build a wider reputation achieving a Top 40 on TraxSource and Top 20 in the Tech House Beatport Charts as well as support by Defected in key playlists and radio shows with Sam Divine even closing a key summer show with “Amazonica”. British DJ and producer Jimmy V has been somewhat of a “DJ’s” DJ for some time, earning his stripes and playing at parties, clubs and festivals all over the UK and America with his deeply well-informed musical methodology over many years. Starting out playing in the clubs and bars of the Bristol scene, he progressed to immerse himself in the London underground as a regular on the scene. A regular also at prestigious festival gigs like Disco Knights at Burning Man and the Rabbit Hole at Glastonbury.
Chevy One is an award-winning music producer/writer based in north London since 2001.
