I miss TO as well.
Check this out from John's facebook page.
I’ve just come to the end of a huge Australian tour, these kind of tours give me plenty of thinking space while at 35,000 feet due to the long flights involved. I had a very sad thought, but yet a very liberating move forward all in the same moment. Fresh off the back of mixing and creating my 2-Hour mix for Global Trance Grooves 100th edition next week, I was amazed at how my creative flow was allowed to breathe completely unrestricted.
I edited all the tracks, added extra synths, pads, fx and treated this like a long 2-hour remix. Hours of care and attention was put into the mix, in exactly the same way I did my BBC Radio Essential mix.
These kinds of mixes represent the true John 00 Fleming. I always say I’m a DJ first, and these mixes allow me to flex my skills of a DJ. It takes me hours of preparation, finding the music, and then programming it. Analyzing all frequencies to ensure the tracks fit perfectly together. Constantly replying making sure the energy levels head in the direction I want. Then that’s before the hours of writing all those extra details, synths, fx etc.
Anyone can buy a copy of Ableton and create mixes these days. You can find thousands of DJ mixes via Podcasts, radio shows and Soundcloud with tracks simply mixed together. It’s for this reason I put so much effort into my own, to show I care about the job I’m doing.
I’ve released over 30 mix compilations over a span of 15 years, as I look off the back of mixing my recent 2-Hour Global mix, CD’s now seem restrictive. The obvious being I’m limited to 80 minutes mix on each CD. From my past experience, the label/company you are doing the mix for, tries to have some sort input asking you to put some of their own ‘family’ tracks in there.
Licensing can also be an issue, trying to get some of the tracks you want to use cleared, yet the strange twist in today’s world labels are more than happy to support me using their tracks on radio mixes. This will be due to the huge exposure they get, as my Radio show/Podcast far exceeds the amount of sales a CD would sell, especially in today’s climate.
So this could be the end of the CD mix compilation for me. The end of a 15-year era. But the start of a new beginning of my Essential mix esq mixes. I think I know which ones you’ll prefer! I’ve code named this latest mix ‘JOOF Editions Vol 1’. I vision me building this catalogue making an annual mix. Who knows where this will lead, I have no restrictions and my mind is already buzzing with more ideas of how I can make these mixes extra special. This very moment takes me back to when I created the White label series, these being the albums I’m most proud of. I’m back in that same moment, same space, both creatively and musically. My 2000/01 Essential mixes also hit at that same time too. That Fleming is back!
This really is a new beginning. Liberating.
Oh and for the CD junkies out there. You’ll have one last goodbye. I’m contracted to mix one side of Passions CD that will be released in November. I feel this will be my final goodbye to the CD. This album will sit proudly next to the other 30 albums closing the end of a chapter. A very proud moment. |

John Askew also speaks his mind
http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/int...rs_nest_of_cnts
| quote: | “I play the music I have always been into. And so does John ‘00’ Fleming. He’s one of the few genuine people in this viper’s nest of ****s that has his integrity intact.” So begins the scathing rundown that trance veteran and recent Perfecto recruit John Askew delivers on the current state of the scene, which he claims has been heavily creatively compromised by DJs and producers seeking to scale the ladder towards fame.
Askew’s recent movements have seen him slot right in alongside Fleming as one of the scene’s most outspoken critics, not to mention linking hands with Paul Oakenfold to help drive a renewed Perfecto Records stable (under the distribution of Armin van Buuren’s dominant Armada stable, no less). He’s also drastically scaled down the amount of DJ gigs he’s playing.
“I have also cut away all unnecessary and hugely time consuming online self masturbation that seems to have become so essential for those who care about ‘working their way up the ladder’,” he told ITM ahead of his October visit as part of the Godskitchen tour. It’s this insistent climb towards the top of the DJ Mag Top 100 poll that he claims has much to do with the perceived stifled creativity in the wider scene.
“The attraction of making more money and getting a higher position in the DJ Mag Top 100 is a seductive prospect for a lot of impressionable young DJ/producers and I entirely sympathise with those who get sucked into it, but I’m not impressionable. I make the music I want to make and enjoy playing it to an underground of like-minded people who are also fans of that sound.”
Askew will take the stage at Godskitchen alongside Marco V, Ben Gold and Richard Durand. If you’re one of those “like minded people” who’ll be on the dancefloor, add yourself to the roll-call for your city! |

A bit of an update for everyone :)
Just got off the phone with John. He is extremely excited for JOOF Editions on October 28! This will be a Special Halloween 'Nine Lives' Album Release Tour Event! He is going to be doing an Extended 6-HOUR Set!
Venue to be announced.
On the phone, John also mentioned that this will be very special night for him as he doesn't get to do long extended sets anymore. The only other place he's had such an extended set was in his hometown for 8 Hours, so he's really looking forward to this event! Feel special Toronto!
Prepare those dancing shoes for a journey on Halloween! |
