Jon O'BirA lot can happen in 12 months, for Jon O'Bir, 2002 started off with him mixing in his bedroom like thousands of others dreaming of the big time, but as the hours counted down to 2003 his dream had come true and he was warming up the Godskitchen crowd for Fergie. It all started back in September 2002, when he entered along with 300 other hopeful djs, the PaSSion and M8 magazine competition and won. He was then offered the chance to play for Motion in Derby and also to show off his talents on the internet radio station, bpm. With his style of progressive/uplifting trance and expertly blended mixes, he was soon noticed by Godskitchen, who were looking for a new young DJ to offer a residency and the prospect of fledging career as Britain's next DJ sensation. "It is quite literally unbelievable, I’ve loved mixing since I brought my first set of decks two years ago and now I get to do it in clubs all over the country to thousands of people" When Fergie heard all the interest in Jon he asked him to join him on his Radio 1 show. His half hour set, live all around the world went down a storm and Fergie was astounded by his support via emails and message boards and envisaged big things for Jon. Fergie has been right behind Jon and recently included him in his ‘Fergies Fledglings’ feature on his radio 1 website. He has already established a big following in the very short space of time he has been playing and is becoming well known for playing trance productions by unsigned producers. With 2003 looking exciting for Jon, with the residency at Godskitchen, and with others chasing him like inside out, Passion, colours and frisky to name but a few and a mix on Irelands 2fm radio station, its going to be one busy year. “This is how trance is meant to be: beautiful bosh that takes you to another place” Mixmag feature February 2003 Find out more at www.jonobir.com |
