We're really excited about this one! John B is one of the most innovative and unique characters in dance music and he's delivered a blistering mix of upfront d 'n' b in his distinctive style.
What's more, at the end of the mix, John B is Marooned on Mars. This is Mixmag's equivalent of Desert Island Discs - John B tells us which records he would take with him if he were marooned for eternity on the red planet. From A Flock of Seaguls to Jean Michelle Jarre, it gives us an insight into the musical influences of one talented bloke.
More about John B:
Over the course of the past 15 years John B has become one of the most eclectic, unique and respected artists in electronic music. His ability to stretch the elastic of drum 'n' bass over the past decade has brought him together with an array of figureheads from all corners of the scene from Metalheadz boss Goldie, to legendary global DJ Paul Oakenfold. Defying categorisation, John’s catalogue straddles electro, punk rock, trance, latin and drum 'n' bass.
Now as we enter 2012 he’s ready to drop his brand new album ‘Light Speed’, a full-force electro/trance d 'n' b hybrid of truly epic proportions. Featuring collaborations with an array of superb vocalists ‘Light Speed’ is a prime example of an artist not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve and follow his musical ideals, and with one of the busiest DJ schedules in the business it seems the rest of the world would agree.
John B's new album 'Light Speed' is out on John B's Beta Records (Now digital / Feb 20 physical)
