As one of the first architects of Toronto's early Acid Jazz, Deep House and Funk scenes, his skill at mixing records that would appear to be 'unmixable' has placed him in constant demand over the course of his career, while also making him one of the most beloved DJs in the T-dot!

In that time, John has singlehandedly developed the label’s international stature through high-quality Canadian and international releases from a varying genres.

A man with no limit of passion and knowledge when it comes to nearly all types of music. General Eclectic displays his skills on the decks with heart and intensity each and every Foot Prints party. His meticulous attention to detail when mixing records and his instinctive ability to effortlessly flow between genres has won him a large following of music heads and dancefloor junkies. Having been known to play just about anything in his sets, his style is hard to categorize but impossible to refuse.
