Bone on John Peel DJ BONE ON JOHN PEEL LIVE WEDNESDAY 4TH APRIL, 2001
Detroit¹s DJ Bone makes his debut on the UK airwaves and what better way to start than a feature on John Peel¹s legendary show on BBC Radio One! DJ Bone has been an integral part of the forward thinking Detroit techno fraternity for the past few years, pushing boundaries within his DJ sets & studio productions. He finally gained true recognition on home turf at last year¹s Detroit Music Festival & Awards, bagging the sought after title of OOutstanding Electronic DJ¹ As a DJ he has refused to compromise the music he plays & has always won over a questioning crowd with his intelligent vision of Techno. Incorporating a palette of different sounds from beautifully structured string laid tracks & jazzy interludes to deep house, tribal rhythms & electro, Bone¹s sets are always colourful & inspired. He regularly takes his DJing passion to dancefloors across the world & has visited countries as far afield as Japan, South America, Canada, Europe & the States. Releases on his own label, Subject: Detroit have found their way into many DJ¹s boxes around the globe, but these are not his only foray into production as this man has also released on labels like Molecular and the mighty Metroplex! John Peel has been described by his former producer & friend John Walters as "the single most important figure in popular music over the last 25 years" & it would be difficult to argue with that assessment. Having gained his radio education in the States & later hosted his acclaimed show, "The Perfumed Garden" on Radio London he then moved over to Radio 1 where he has remained for over 30 years, making him the longest running presenter on the Station. His broad taste in music & ageless appreciation of the latest sounds has led to this man¹s continued popularity. His OJohn Peel Live¹ segments regularly play host to the cream of artists & DJs across all musical genres & have previously featured DJ gurus like Ritchie Hawtin & Dave Clarke. DJ Bone will be deck-defying on OJohn Peel Live¹ in front of a live audience at BBC Radio 1¹s Maida Vale Studios on Wednesday 4th April.
