House Saladcast 964 | Stalvart John
Dynamite Disco Club
Bangalore, India

On a radiant quest to instigate a cultural shift in the dance music landscape of India, Stalvart John’s pulsating rhythms are transforming India's dancefloors into havens of afro, funk, soul and jazz-infused house and disco - one galvanising beat at a time. A DJ, producer, radio host, innovator, and founder of Dynamite Disco Club, Stalvart John has led the modern-day house and disco revolution within the country by balancing being an entertainer, an experimentalist, and a purveyor of fresher sounds from behind the desk and in the studio alike.

Stalvart John finds his early roots as a trailblazer in Kerala, where he helped carve the early inklings of a music scene by taking various residencies, frequently spinning across the region’s nightlife, and presenting podcasts and shows through internet radio. He shifted his base to Bangalore in 2014 and soon built his identity off the back of his passion for his craft and bringing his stylistically-rich experience to inform an unwavering vision centred around the feel-good quality of house, disco and adjacent genres.

An ambassador for the style within India, Stalvart John has since spread its glittering and joyous gospel across the country and, in 2023, been entrusted by Mixmag Asia to take it beyond its shores with a tour across South Asian regions like Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore. 

His straightforward musical storytelling through his DJ sets and productions has earned him a place on labels like Get Physical Music, Wind Horse Records, Hot Elephant Music, Springbok Records, Club Star Records, Believe in Disco, and Mind Fields Records. Meanwhile, his ear for what works on the dancefloor has entrusted him and his Dynamite Disco Club to soundtrack a dedicated dancefloor at the Cosmic Disco Bar of Magnetic Fields Festival 2019 for 3 consecutive nights and curate the Bacardi Rum Room at NH7 Weekender, the Cirque Du Social at Vh1 Supersonic, as well as showcases at the likes of SAUCE India, and Gin Explorer’s Club.

Becoming a dance music frontrunner synonymous with funk-infused performances, captivating edits, invigorating remixes, and soul-stirringly groovy compositions, Stalvart John is now on a gradual mission to expand the existing space for the music he believes in – most notably through his Dynamite Disco Club.

Starting as his radio show on boxout.fm, then expanding into a regular club night, eventually launching a label arm and also offering a genre-agnostic outreach program, DDC is where Stalvart empowers the next generation of talent, provides a 360° ecosystem to launch their musical practice, and drives a fast-widening community of dance music listeners in India. With its members regularly topping the charts on platforms on Traxsource, starting their own club nights across the country, and becoming recognizable forces in their own right, Dynamite Disco Club is a testament to Stalvart John’s boundary-pushing vision, unwavering commitment, and his insatiable desire to spread the infectious joy of disco far and wide.

Jakki N Nick - Weekend Wobblers

Justin Harris has been active as a DJ since 1987 and has been producing since 1994 in collaboration with Luke Solomon and under the names Robotic Movement, Free soul (with Diesel) and Oliloqui for labels like Classic (Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter), Phono, 20/20 Vision, and SSR.  
Justin Harris’ illustrious musical career kicked off way back in 1987 when he was a regular DJ at the first pioneering Acid House events in the UK. He later went on to become one half of the DJ partnership North & South (with Nigel Casey, House of 909), who were infamous on the Warehouse and free party / DiY circuit throughout the UK and Europe in the early 90's… a blur follows of free parties, thrills, pills, and belly laughs..read on..

Upon moving to London in 1993, Justin turned his technical dexterity to the studio and began making some of the most innovative and left-field house music around. Seventeen years ago, he teamed up with Luke Solomon to create the ground breaking Freaks project. Freaks have over 80 productions under their belt, including remixes for artists such as Revlon9, Matthew Herbert, The Good Books, Kassabian, Soft Cell, The Human League, Derrick Carter, Greenskeepers, Tiefschwarz and Damon Albarn to name a few… and have themselves recorded for such esteemed labels as Perlon, Wally's Groove World, Classic, Playhouse, International Deejay Gigolo, Silver Network, Rebirth Records, Hot Creations, Crosstown Rebels and of course the legendary Music For Freaks (MFF) and Classic Recordings.

We asked Justin what House music means to him, to which he responded; “Don't want to sound cheesy but for me It's a lifestyle..... Not an hour goes past in any one day where it doesn't play some kind of a part in my life... It's quite simply all encompassing. House Music picked me up more than 25 years ago in the middle of what was a deep recession in the UK , it strapped me in and took me and a generation on a journey that is still going strong. I have literally devoted my working (and most of my social) life to House Music. What it has given me back far outweighs anything I could ever put in to it.” 

Justin describes the House Gangster sound as; “Bumping, jacking and absolutely taking no prisoners..... I've known Sneak and his sound since the mid 90's when I first met him in Chicago (at Derrick Carter's place with Luke Solomon after a mad night of partying) and I've hung out and heard him play many times since .. his music always was about 'that' sound and it's great to see it get the recognition and respect it deserves.” 

Justin continues to go onto say; “To me this movement means a solid and tight global crew. Whether producers, DJ's, artists, promoters, house music lovers, party heads, hustlers, record labels (and the list goes on).... We are all united by a love of House Music and therefore part of the same family.........in short it's all about the music.” 

Asking Justin how he compiled his mix, he says; “I just imagined myself at one of your parties, took a bunch of records and CD's to select from that I would (and in the future will) play there and went for it.... had a great time doing it too.” 
Explaining how it represents him as an artist, he tells us; As an artist this mix represents my interpretation and understanding of the House Gangster sound and the vibe I get from it. It has tracks in it that date back more than 20 years as well as some pretty amazing new music with loads in between. I'd say it's a pretty good cross section of what moves me and has influenced my taste over the years.” 

Finally, giving a special mention about this mix, Justin comments, “I'm totally stoked to be asked to do it... There are so many of my musical heroes who have supplied a Gangstercast and it's dope to be part of this movement.” 

Justin has also included in his Gangstercast mix, his very own ‘Random Jazz’ – the title track of his EP , his debut release on the I’m A House Gangster imprint, on 13th April.
 
  


GANGSTERCAST 57 | JUSTIN HARRIS

When the sun sinks your way, I’ll be looking for you...
when the sun sinks your way, I’ll be looking for you
will you teach me how to dance, in a passionate romance?
in the moments of doubt, I’ll come find you
take me to outer space, in a tender embrace
when the pain is too much, I’ll be calling your name
in the silence of the night
when you whisper to me, when you whisper to me
WHEN YOU WHISPER TO ME
So...
Enjoy this track....
