John 00 Fleming joins the Broadcast! Boasting regular appearances at Godskitchen and The Gallery , John 00 Fleming has long been injecting his blend of hard-edged progressive trance into the UK's top clubs. With a career spanning nearly twenty years, his unique character and impeccable talent have seen Fleming become the face of his genre, producing numerous mix albums ,artist singles, remix projects and heading his own underground label; Joof Recordings.
John's career started some 18 years ago when his headmaster asked that he play an under 18s night for the school. After just one appearance, John was asked to become a resident at the now legendary Sterns in his hometown of Worthing. He was aged just 15. Fleming honored his residency throughout the 80s and during this period, shared the decks with some of dance-music's most treasured DJs, including Carl Cox , Fabio and Grooverider at the club's 'Interdance' night. As acid house and the rave scene reached new heights, John stepped forward as one of the leaders of the movement, DJing at Fantazia , Raindance and Ibiza as far back as 1987. In 1990 John was diagnosed with lung cancer, aged 20. His escalating reputation was to suffer a blow as Fleming was forced to turn his back on the dance-music community in order to concentrate on recovering. After two years in hospital undergoing chemotherapy, John was in remission and moved to Florida in an attempt to regain his health. It was here that Fleming made his return to the decks with regular dates at Miami's Cameo Theatre and guest spots up and down the East Coast to Canada. A year later John returned to the UK with a fresh perspective. It is this life-threatening experience that has given him the lust for life and determination to regain his place at the peak of his profession.
Complementing his assured reputation as a DJ, John has displayed a great flair for production. The massive success of two artist singles; 'Alpha 5' and 'Lost In Emotion' , were accompanied by a third release in 2000 with 'Free' , which enjoyed an entry in the UK Top 40. In 2002, John continued to develop his production work with the release of 'Belfast Trance' ; sampling Simple Minds' 'Belfast Child' and SupaKane (Fleming/Healey) 'The theme from SupaKane', both on Virgin Recordings. Fleming ended the year with a track with M.I.K.E. 'Ice cream' During his career, Fleming has completed numerous remix projects in a broad spectrum of genres. Among his successes are Erasure's 'Sometimes' , Gloria Estefan's 'When Will This Moment End' , Mansun's 'Tax Loss' and 'Wide Open Space' and Junior Vasquez' 'House Of Joy' . In 2001 his remix of Konkrete's 'Law Unto Myself' on Perfecto was supported by Dave Pearce, Paul Oakenfold and Paul Van Dyk and his most recent remix of the international club classic 'Café Del Mar' reached No.24 in the UK singles chart!!
John 00 Fleming has become one of the front-runners in the worldwide club scene. 2004 brings a new level of demand for one of few DJs capable of filling clubs on a global level and selling over a million mix compilations!. From the studio, January 2004 welcomed John's remake of Astral Projection's 'Mahadeva' that firmly put John on the map of one of today's best producers.
John's own radio show 'Global Trance Grooves' has been enjoying it's own success for the past 12 months. Now comes the album. To be released in October on John's own label JOOF Recordings. This will be John's first solo CD compilation in over 4 years away from the Euphoria series. John currently has some amazing unreleased music and this is shaping up to be his best compilation to date. Keep up to date with all things JOOF at www.john00fleming.com
Filo & Peri return to the Broadcast! Our story for great things. An accomplished pianist by age 12, Dom dreamed of someday making music his life; he wasn't sure how, but he had a feeling that something would come along and enlighten him. Fast forward a few years to high school, and Domenick Filopei meets Dominic LeVoci. Although they lived in the same neighborhood their entire lives, they never met until then. The two quickly became friends, but at the time, LeVoci was thoroughly uninterested in music, bearing in mind tortuous childhood piano lessons that resulted in a mastery of old Italian folk tunes. Filopei's dreams continued to simmer. Meanwhile, other events were happening to the north. Unbeknownst to the Doms, a young man named Bo Pericic of Ardsley, New York, was also experimenting with music. His father was an avid fan of early electronic acts, and Bo found himself listening to the likes of Jean Michelle Jarre and Tangerine Dream at a very young age. When he turned 6, his parents bought him The Miracle. The Miracle was the keyboard that you hooked up to your old 8-bit Nintendo which taught you how to play music through different games. Immediately hooked, Bo spent hours upon hours playing, trying to write his own songs instead of read notes. With the seed planted, Bo's interest grew over the years as he mined the catalogs of classic artists such as The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. By the time Bo discovered the realm of trance, he had started to experiment with production, setting the stage for what would happen in the future. . .
By the year 2000, Dom and Dom had discovered the American rave scene and the glories of club culture. Finding their utopia in the form of dance music, they decided that this was their true calling. Their course was set. . . After graduation, the guys scored jobs in the IT field. Filopei's bedroom studio had now reached living room sized proportions, and the decibel level threatened to have him disowned by his normally accommodating family. At the same time, LeVoci found himself at a crossroads; if he was going to get into electronic music, he would have to build himself a respectable setup, and fast.
With LeVoci unsure of his musical future, and Filopei about to be thrown out of his house, the two friends looked for a solution to their problems by combining them: what is to stop two ambitious kids from making loud music? With their day jobs and all their savings, Filopei and LeVoci decided they were going to "go professional" - they would rent a commercial space where they could work undisturbed and focus on the difficult task they had set before them. Construction went on for two months straight, and when it was done, there was much celebration. While LeVoci started down the long road of learning, Filopei resumed his production, which by this time was reaching new heights. It was then that the paths of Bo Pericic and Domenick Filopei first crossed. Filopei had listened to a Pericic production off of Trance.nu, and admired Bo's playing style and orchestration. After a few conversations, he invited him to 5Knuckle. After just one week, the two had created a track entitled "Elevation". The production was so good that they decided to work on more projects as a team, something that neither committed to lightly. An industrious individual who could match Filopei's frenetic work pace as well as LeVoci's more relaxed vibe, Bo quickly became a fixture at the studio. While becoming increasingly creative in his playing, Bo displayed a keen knowledge of "the scene" as well as where he would like to take it. His grand visions sat well with 5Knuckle's mission statement, and the young producers dreamed of the day where they could rock floors with the very music they themselves had created. Days and then weeks passed, with Filopei and Bo clocking serious hours in front of the console. Even LeVoci, who had a habit of disappearing without explanation for days on end, found himself devoting more time to the mixing desk, spurred on by this resurgence of creativity. After two months of intense production, Bo and Filopei finally caught a break. After giving "Elevation" to Armin Van Buuren at the Roxy nightclub, they soon received an email from Armin himself (coincidentally on Bo's 18th birthday) stating that he would like to sign two of the tracks from the Filopei/Pericic collaboration, now known simply as "Filo & Peri". 5Knuckle Studios had finally reached the next level. . . Present Day: The Clouds Burst Arriving at the present, 5Knuckle Studios is now firing on all cylinders. Filo & Peri have virtually locked themselves in the studio, producing tracks that could easily rate as some of the best trance to ever come out of America.
With a steady schedule of releases and a mission to establish America on the trance scene, Filo & Peri have seen the industry take an increasing interest in their product. Be on the lookout for them, as you'll surely hear their tracks being hammered by a select group of renowned DJs, and soon by the boys themselves. With a sage blend of anticipation and determination, Filo & Peri look forward to the future as well as the opportunities it will bring.
