Biography of John Buckley |  |
The template for most DJ biogs is as follows, it describes how their journey began, their influences along the way and their achievements to date! Usually written by the artist themselves in "third person" format and in extreme cases using ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS with some exclamation marks to emphasise their greatness!!!!
Unlike all those soon-to-be-supersatrs, my journey didn't begin with me realising I had to be a DJ because; "I was a classically trained musician / child prodigy since the age of 4" or the classic line "music was always a big part of my life".
No, my youth was spent playing hurling with my local sports club and running around the fields near my home chasing large agricultural machinery. Music never bothered me in my youth - I had too many out-door distractions!
It was only in my teens that a local pirate radio station got me listening to some awful commercial euro-dance. From there I started to explore the depths of electronic music, several years and a few questionable genres later, I settled on house music.
These days my time is spent running two record labels - Antiqua Recordings & Deep Vein Audio, I promote a club night in my locality called Route 51, and of course I'm DJing whenever I get half a chance. I also produce some beats from time to time but thats an avenue that i have not yet fully explored.
