John Taylor
John Taylor is one of the most respected and influential ambassadors on the London electro scene. Over the last few years he has been at the forefront of pushing new music forward and as one half of Punx Soundcheck his productions have consistently been at the cutting edge. With half a lifetime's experience as a dj and producer, John Taylor is at the top of his game as one of London's leading lights of electronic dance music; he is also one of the most respected and sought after tutors of djing and production.

Having cut his teeth as a hip-hop dj, John's style evolved via acid house and rave culture, through to the eclectic electro sound that he is now best known for. Taking all these influences along the way, John is always at the cutting edge of the scene and is perpetually upping the ante in terms of technology and style; it's no surprise that John's skills have seen him constantly in demand behind the decks across the globe.

John has found considerable success as one half of Punx Soundcheck (and their shadowy alter-ego Chanty Poe). Their productions have appeared on a number of highly respected labels, and the list of A list artists that they have worked with reads like a veritable Who's Who. As remixers par excellence they're constantly being asked to put their unique stamp on tracks by big name and much hyped artists.

Having found a home at Hottwerk Records, John has branched out with his own subsidiary imprint Arcade Pony Records, where awesome underground talent rubs shoulders with established artists, courtesy of John's exceptional A & R skills.
