If you haven’t heard directly of John Acquaviva’s works, the chances are - whatever your involvement with electronic music is - that you will be aware of his work and influence within the electronic music community. The Italian-Canadian artist may be best known for his involvement with the techno titan Richie Hawtin, and the forming of the highly influential labels Plus 8 Recordings and DEFINITIVE recordings. However, his influence, and reach extend in swathes beyond these considered pillars of dance music culture.

Although his music and industry accolades sit amongst the greatest in the game, much more can be said about the kind of driven, open-minded character John Acquaviva possesses. A natural entrepreneur, an industry visionary, and an avid collector of records, Acquaviva has long set the pace in an underground movement that has become so fruitful and diverse since its inception - not to mention being one of the most technically gifted DJ’s to grace a pair of turntables. Acquaviva is as intrinsic to the progression of dance music as any and a true pioneer in the evolution of what we consider the modern DJ.

On the technological front, no other DJ has made such significant contributions to the advancement of how DJs perform. Acquaviva’s masterful technique and a firm grasp of the trade led to his fruitful involvement with Final Scratch and Beatport. A vital founder and active member of both companies – the former, a tool that allows manipulation and playback of digital audio sources, and the latter, a major online hub for electronic music – John’s role extends far beyond his taste-making capabilities. He’s been an integral figure in sculpting the genre’s game-changing transition from analog to digital, and from vinyl to turntables and laptops. Sharing this vision with fellow Canadian act Richie Hawtin, the pair spearheaded a project that would act as the iTunes of dance. Together, the duo arguably paved the path for a new and zestful era.

Some words from John about this journey:

"Happy to mix some of my favourite fun house tunes for deep house with summer just around the corner as we dream of beaches, hope for parties, and flirt with the craving of spending time with old friends and new"

Comfortable Feat. HIGH HØØPS

Dear all, Mute Darbaari's dream project, 'Hanuman Chalisa,' is finally here! With my dear friend Sachin Bagli on production and my favourite artist, the amazingly talented Gagan Baderiya, on vocals, I had the best panel of people to work with. These two guys have supported me in a manner for which I'm eternally grateful. Hanuman to me is 'Bhakti swaroopa,' which means the literal form of devotion. He is known for his devotion towards Rama, one of the many forms of supreme being. The tale of hanuman's love towards Rama can be paraphrased metaphorically into our lives: Find that one true thing that makes you follow it unconditionally. That's the purpose of life: Love unconditionally. Our religious texts give us timeless messages which we need to decipher. Let this musical piece bring you, listeners, what you genuinely seek with positivity, love, and strength.
