John
Larner and Slater Hogan are playing at:
F4
Little Collins Street
Melbourne
Saturday 18 September
John was raised
on a healthy diet of electronic music and dance. Educated by the
founding fathers of modern dance music, and fortunate enough to
grow up in a time and area where Jeff Mills and Steve "Silk"
Hurley could be heard on the radio. Supported by a father who himself
loved Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, jazz-fusion and the sounds that
helped shape electronica as we know it. Surrounded by friends, whose
love of all things dance, made it possible for John to make music
his life's work. From djing, to production, to promoting club nights
and one-offs, for the past twenty years, John Larner made dance
music his life, all the while influencing people all around him.
Spreading the word, the feeling and the love for dance music.
John started
djing in 1983, influenced by the dance sounds coming from nearby
Chicago and Detroit.
Early influences:
The Chicago house djs like the "Hot Mix Five", Bad Boy
Bill and the "Wizard" (Jeff Mills) of Detroit. The Breakdance/
Hip Hop culture.
Current influences:
Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Mathew Dear, Phil Weeks, Lance De Sardi
