Originally from Winnipeg, Canada, and currently residing in London, England, John Norman is pushing techno sounds to new places. His sound has been refined over many years of avid pursuit of that which is driving yet laid back, full yet minimalist. The result is a sound unlike any other, filling dancefloors around the world.
His quickly growing arsenal of original tracks and remixes now include releases with 7Stars Music, 4PlayTrax, and UNT! Records, including several coming out in early 2012. His tracks have seen support from international heavy hitters including Markus Schulz, M.I.K.E, Wally Lopez, Marcella, and Jesse Voorn, and he shows no signs of looking back.
His sound cultivated over years of hosting some of the most memorable events in the Canadian Prairies, bringing in artists such as Frankie Bones, Signum, Ronski Speed, Bryan Jones and Patrick DSP to name a few. Literally starting out as the kid hauling his huge record bag to open decks, John quickly gained reputation for impeccable tight mixing blending sounds together for a unique approach to techno, minimal and tech house, but knowing no bounds. With this, he began booking events throughout his hometown and across central Canada, Toronto, Montreal, and the Northern US.
Over this time his sound caught the ear of radio stations such as puredj.com in Holland, the former CityBeat Radio in Scotland, Undergroundradio.tv (formerly Miami Beatz Radio)), and Canadian Techno.fm. In addition, his mixes have been featured on stations from England, Brazil, Croatia, Chile, Bulgaria, and was one of the final featured guests on DJ Preach’s Transatlantic Radio show who stated that John’s “mix of tech house will take you to a place you’ve never been”. Now in its second year, John hosts a monthly mix series Original Language Global Session playing some of the finest house and techno available, which can be found in iTunespodcast section.
You can expect John to push his productions and DJ sets to new heights as his obsession with sound continues, taking influence not only from electronic music history but alsofrom the everyday and spreading his brand of music the world over.
