Disfunk

John Gerard is the host of Leith FM's successful weekly show 'The Vinyl Club' which is now in it's 4th year. With his colleague James Carroll, both have gained a reputation as innovative DJ's and have support from the scenes top DJ's each week. After receiving some exposure under the guise of 'Disfunk', and having his track 'New Tip' played on Radio 1, Rob Da Bank stated If it weren't for pesky Radio 1 policies, I would sign this artist myself'.


His desire to produce has grown although limited between a hectic programming schedule for The Vinyl Club. His current sound is the result of mixing for the last ten years, starting after listening to mix tapes when running buses to gigs such as Hanger 13 and Resurrection. He explained: I used to run coaches to gigs and always had to have the best tapes to play. I would go out and have as many as a dozen blank tapes posted through my door with names of who they were for. Eventually I thought I must have a go myself.

His sound is a mix of hundreds of different influences from the sounds that got him into music: Initially I was listening to Pink Floyd when the acid house sound broke and swept me away with it. Acts like LFO, Hardcore Uproar and a big addiction to The Orb confirmed this as my choice of music. Also helping to influence him are his idol’s: My main heroes are Laurent Garnier & Sven Vath, I love so many other acts but these two have been at the top of their game for ages now.
This has helped him maintain an emphasis on the underground, allowing him to experiment with his music: I always try to start off slow and gradually pull the listener in, essentially attempting to go on a musical journey. This allows me to play anything from electronica to banging techno and still keep it relatively underground.

Already he has supported artists such as Ulrich Schnauss, Dave Angel and Samuel L Session, he also produces annual electronica mixes which have gained a cult following as well as his weekly show.
