JON CUTLER:
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j171/czboogie/cutler.jpg
Jon’s dedication started when he was a teenager, a familiar face regularly seen in many of the underground clubs in New York City. In the early 80’s Jon began his exposure djing mostly at local neighborhood house parties, which eventually led him to spin in clubs. As DJing often do, it eventually lead to Jon producing and creating his collection of essential studio equipment. After working at an independent record label for two years, he grasped the knowledge of the industry and was ready to advance. His sense of business surfaced in 1996 when he finally decided to start his own label, Distant Music. The main goal here was to launch a powerful catalogue without losing focus of his productions. Soon after he displayed his evolving talent with productions such as “You Groove Me”, “Fluttie Pebbles” and others under Distant Music. He’d since teamed up with such dance music luminaries and vocalists as Matthias “Matty” Heilbronn, DJ Romain, Jocelyn Brown, E-Man, Michael Watford, Kemdi, Vanessa Freeman and others, creating phenomenal original productions for his own imprint as well as for UK’s MN2S and Papa Records, Chez Music, and 83 West, among others. In 2001, Jon produced the smash, “It’s Yours”, for Chez Music, which quickly cultivated into a club anthem reaching the 1 spot in DJ Magazine’s Hype Chart, 29 in the overall UK pop charts, as well as played by club and radio djs in practically every country on Earth. Since then Jon has been committed to releasing quality house music. His remix credits are a testament to his dedication having recreated works by Kerri Chandler (King Street Sounds), Copyright (Defected Records), Kim English (Nervous Records), Bob Sinclar (Yellow), Tortured Soul (Central Park Recordings), and a ton more, into phenomenal pieces of Dance Music. In addition he’s had five stellar mixed compilations released on Soulstar, MN2S, Kinky Sweet, Concaept Music, and Distant Music. In between his hectic schedule that involves traveling around the world every weekend to places like M2 Club (South Korea), Stereo Sushi (Belgium), the revered Southport Weekender (UK), El Divino (Ibiza, Spain), Glam (Mauritius), Follies Pigalle (Paris, France), Zouk Fest (Kuala Lampur), and too many others to mention, Jon humbly finds haven in the safety and comfort of his studio. This is a man who truly puts his heart and soul into every production and performance. Celebrating TWENTY plus years in the business, Jon Cutler hopes to maintain the ability to inject his signature soulful flavor into House Music while continuing to inspire the thousands of up and coming producers and DJ’s he’s already influenced throughout the years.

JOHN 'JULIUS' KNIGHT

John Julius Knight is best known for dancefloor hits, such as “All I Do” (Cleptomaniacs feat. Bryan Chambers), Eminence feat. Kathy Brown’s “Give It Up” and his Soulfuric Trax classic “Find A Friend”. Both as a solo artist and with long-term ‘Cleptomaniacs’ partner Brian Tappert, JJK has produced and remixed for the likes of AM:PM, Strictly Rhythm, Defected, Z Records, CR2, Soulfuric, Swing City and Soulfuric Trax.
2006 saw the launch of John’s own imprint Reversoulmusic, whose first release ‘Infrared/The Groove’ got off to a great start with airplay from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, a top 3 spot in the Traxsource.com sales chart and international club & radio play. Since then, the label has gone from strength to strength and is set for a strong release schedule over the following months. JJK is also one of the exclusive residents on the trend-setting Traxsource.com radio show, which airs all across the US via XM Radio ‘The Move’, in the UK via Solar Radio, as well as internationally via numerous syndication stations.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, John got into the sound of Club Classics as a kid through his older brother who deejayed at local spots. In his teens John became a regular at the legendary Paradise Garage spearheaded by maestro Larry Levan, Tony Humphries’s Zanzibar Club, The Loft and David Morales’s Redzone – which collectively built the foundations for his career in House music.
In the early 90s John moved from New York to Miami where he met Brian Tappert, which started his career in producing and remixing. The duo’s early work was released on labels such as AM:PM and Stricly Rhythm. In 2001, their bootleg of Stevie Wonder’s ‘All I Do’ took the scene by storm and was instantly picked up by Defected Records, who re-worked it with vocalist Bryan Chambers. The track made it to 23 in the UK’s national sales charts and turned the duo into one of the most in-demand remix & DJ teams under their newly acquired ‘Cleptomaniacs’ moniker.
As a DJ, John Julius Knight is known for rocking dancefloors with an vibrant mix of the most upfront cuts mixed with Club Classics and Classic House. He effortlessly blends soulful sounds with techier cuts and tougher big-room joints to maximum effect. His ability to play for and excite the most diverse crowds has made him a regular fixture on the international & domestic club scene and he has performed at the world’s leading House venues in such places as Dubai , South Africa , the UK , Australia , Japan , New Zealand , Ibiza , Germany , Switzerland , Eastern Europe , Brazil and across the US and can be heard frequently during the summer months at his favorite venue, the prestigious Cielo Club in New York.
