A DJ career spanning more than 20 years from the ripe old age of 15 has afforded John 00 the sort of experience that most other DJs can only dream of. Never afraid to push the boundaries in the projects that he turns his hand to, he is the owner of the hugely successful J00F recordings and hosts his own radio show on Ministry of Sound/DI.FM, the highly popular Global Trance Grooves.
A musical taste that transcends genres and his determination to seek out fresh, new, exciting music has resulted in John playing in almost every corner of the world and selling over 1 million CD compilations in his career.

erphun (Er-Fun) - a Farsi word meaning the state of being or the ability to be on a higher spiritual level. The best way to introduce Ali Zaree (erphun) and his career is to illustrate exactly the way he feels when he is spinning and how this feeling came to be. Whether for a group of friends at a small gathering or for hundreds of people at a club, erphun's passion for spinning is ever growing and evolving. erphun has been spinning for over six years.
It began two days after his birthday, June 24th 2000, at Spundae in San Francisco when erphun was exposed to an event, which inspired him and changed the course of his life. He received his calling as he watched Sasha and Digweed spin one of their many mesmerizing sets. Completely new to the scene, erphun watched in awe and felt first hand the energy that bound the screaming fans to the two DJs. He knew instantly the path his life was meant to take. While still attending UCSB, erphun purchased two decks and a mixer, and began building his record collection. His earliest music stylings included the genres of house, trance, and tribal, eventually guiding erphun's interest into deep progressive house, and more recently tech house and electro. Fueled by his passion to become a successful DJ, erphun taught himself how to spin by observing every top DJ that came to Los Angeles. Before long, he landed his first major gig on Halloween at Santa Barbara's most happening spot, Qs and later on at another hot spot, Mad House. After realizing that he had achieved all that he could in his DJ career in Santa Barbara, erphun moved to Los Angeles a year later.
He began networking and immersed himself in the LA underground scene. Local promoters and fellow DJs recognized his abilities and he landed his first major gig and two residencies. The gig was a 4th of July party for Spundae in Los Angeles in 2002. erphun's first residencies included Naked and Hotel California which enabled him to play at some of the biggest clubs across the country: Sevilla (Las Vegas), Broadway (San Diego), Voodoo Lounge (Las Vegas), Risqu (Las Vegas, New Year's Eve 2004), and the Shelbourne Hotel (Miami, Winter Music Conference in 2003). After finishing a very memorable residency at Flirt in Hollywood, and a series of gigs at some of the most popular clubs in Los Angeles, erphun turned his attention to producing and met various eclectic and exciting talented professionals along the way. Erphun drew upon his musical skills, influences and experiences, and fine tuned his ears, abilities, talent and experience for producing Tech House, and Electro.
Some recent gigs inlcude: Drai's (Las Vegas) Pure (Las Vegas) Heavy Rotation party, Red Circle and Vegas Party ( Miami, WMC 2005), Tentation (Newport Beach) ,Monday Social(Hollywood)

I think he blew us all away! And you know with the size of crowd @ 1015, he's gonna take it to another level!
The last time he came to Seattle earlier this year, he wrote about it in his blog:
"Speaking of treats, The Last supper club in Seattle was one hell of a treat because the crowd went crazy. I really wasn't expecting to play so hard here, but they wanted more and more. In the space of 90 minutes I went from 132 BPM all the way to 143 BPM?? I kept testing with more powerful tracks and the reaction was the same with people going crazy. So I kept throwing more at them! The promoter was shocked, as he's never had a DJ play so hard in his club. He admitted he was really worried at first but at the end of the night insisted I come back and do exactly the same thing!"
