Biography John Consemulder (www.johnconsemulder.com)

So who the hell is John?
John is a just nice guy with a lot of interests. He has graduated in neuropsychology and has a passionate interest in the human brain, parapsychology and most important: electronic dance music (especially techno, tech-house, house and deep house, up to 50 releases so far…..). He loves everything which is pure and esthetic (art, music, nature, music and women). He spend weekdays in his own studio and he spends his weekends backstage clubbing (he likes to sit .
How did John become a respected producer and what’s next?
With the income he got out of the first records he bought his first rare analogue synths. After a while he started releasing records on his own and started collaborating with others on all kind of labels like Flower Grooves, Rough Cuts, Warner Music, United Recordings, Wildlife (Tiesto’s Black Hole Recordings), Playground, Basic Beat, Essential Dance Music and many more.
But his breakthrough was a release on the internationally famous Soma label as Frame. He also became A&R manager of the internationally acclaimed X-Trax label. While doing that for two years he produced and released records on X-Trax as Vintage, Index, Detour and JohnJohn.
During that time his records got played and he got cool reviews from dj’s and artists like Slam, Michel de Hey, Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier, Jeff Mills, Ken Ishii, Eric de Man, dj Estroe, Steve Rachmad, Adam Beyer, Joel Mull, Cari Lekebusch, John Aquaviva, dj Marcello, dj Remy, dj Marysol, dj Richard, dj Benny Rodriquez, Speedy J, Thomas Schumacher, Mistress Barbara, Sillicone Soul, Envoy, Funk d,Void, Billy Nasty, Tresor dj’s, Stanny Franssen, Derrick May, Mike Grant, dj T-1000 (Allan Oldham), dj C1, Jamie Anderson, Layo and Bushwacka, Sven Vaeth, Pascal F.E.O.S., Miss Yetti, Dr. Otte and many more. His name got known at a wider scale, especially after his Frame release on Glasgow’s Soma Quality Recordings and his records as Vintage, Detour, JohnJohn and Index on X-Trax. (www.x-trax.nl)

Lately John is mainly doing projects and planning an artist album with a highly talented and diverse singer called Chianty Noir and this collaboration (they also perform live at various large events) sounds more groove oriented and clubby, but sometimes also deep and moody . John also has his own publishing and handles all bookings and management of mc Chianty Noir, as well as his own and their live appearances!
John and Chianty Noir are also responsible for partyorganisation Extrema’s(www.extrema.nl) annual theme song 2004; Strange World (remixes with Eric de Man and a videoclip are in the making..) which will be released at Extrema Records March 2004.

An Italian friend called Andrew B has started a collaboration with John after he did a remix for John’s track which will be out soon at Mike Grant’s detroit based label End to End, which also harbours artists like Mike Grant himself, Scan 7, Keith Tucker and more.
John is also doing projects with his friends dj Estroe , Detour (previous release on X-Trax and an album full of techno trax is sill free to sign) dj Eric de Man, dj Benny Rodriquez , Joris Voorn and dj Shiva and their material will be released soon.
