Biography of Jon-Jon

Real name / Jon-Jon Pietersen

Jon-Jon


Well where do we begin? Jon-Jon started mixing house music while still at school in 1996
and started playing in a professional capacity in 1997. Gecko lounge was one of the first
in over 80 clubs nationwide. The list also includes residencies at
SUNNYSIDE UP, SUTRA, SKYLITE LOUNGE, THE GALLERY (CAPE TOWN), DOCK SIDE, PURE, BACK TO BACK, WOBBLE, SOUNDSCAPE and, ESP, to name few.

Another feather in this music masters cap, is the invitation he received in 2006 to Play at the Heineken Dance Festival in Rotterdam Holland - entertaining a crowd of over 587 000 people.
Jon-Jon also has plans in the pipe line for Japan, Europe & the Far East.

He has played at clubs in Nelspruit, Witbank, Pretoria, Klerksdorp, Potch, Joburg, Bloemfontein,
Port Elizabeth, East London, Durban, Pietemaritzburg, Cape Town, Welkom
and many others. Apart from playing at every major club in South Africa, he has also helped launch
many CD's incl. "The World of Dance" and the "Trance House" series.

On an international scale, Jon-Jon has played along side DJ's such as Rachel Auburn , Anne Savage, Lisa Lashes, Fedde le Grand , Armin van Buuren , Dave Lee(Slinky), Signum, John OO' Flemming, Adam White, Simon Eve(Reactivate),Sebastian Ingrosso, Kid Crème, Junior Jack, Judge Jules , M.I.K.E and M.N.Y.C Project
He is the official DJ for Private Productions, a Spanish based label, and will be compiling the first "Private" disks to be released in South Africa in 2009.
He will soon be releasing his own "Sessions" compilations - something we look forward to hearing!

Not only is he producing music, this talented man thinks, eats, sleeps and just see's music.
He does not have one specific style, but plays across the house music board.
From hard twisted tech trance in Cape Town, to sexy funky deep electro house at ESP, to his personal
best kept secret - tech tribal trance and progressive house.
Whatever your taste, Jon-Jon is sure to please you!

He recently ended his residency at ESP, where he played every Sunday for 3 and a half years. He's decided to concentrate on studio work, and is still getting booked regularly.

He likes to call himself a music blender rather than a beat mixer, making the most of what
he has, and pushing the boundaries of what we call HOUSE MUSIC!!!
