their own biography
the whole biography
John Loveless is a DJ, radio host, writer and producer, whose unusual trip through alternative culture is defined by passion and perpetual motion. A lifelong immersion in music has helped define Loveless not only as a respected, instinctive club DJ, but a constant conduit for the creativity of others in the scene. Originally from the North West of England, Loveless’s long weekend in Berlin has since lasted a decade, where he maintains a unique position. As well as his own Hot Concept imprint and party series, Loveless is known for his creative work alongside Erol Alkan and Palms Trax on the labels Phantasy and CWPT, introducing diverse talent to record shelves, refining an instinct for music of rare character. This open-minded philosophy has also defined Loveless’s approach to radio, as heard across two long-running residencies in Berlin. His monthly ‘Display Resolution’ show has broadcast on Cashmere Radio since 2017, and will conclude in 2025 after one-hundred episodes, each blending house, techno, disco, dub, indie and experimental music with unfiltered curiosity. Since 2020, Loveless has been a fixture on Refuge Worldwide, the community-focused station where he has also established an occasional, anecdote-heavy residency with Palms Trax, and curated several takeovers. In unison with fellow Brit-turned-Berlin Gramrcy, the pair enjoy a lockdown-born studio partnership, one that has expanded beyond remixes for Discovery Zone, W.H. Lung and Real Lies, to a lightning bolt of an original production in ‘Highdive’. Released on Phantasy Sound in 2022, the track memorably anchored sets by DJs from 2ManyDjs and Peggy Gou, before soundtracking catwalks for Moschino and Hugo Boss. After a long search for suitably ludicrous sounds, further experiments are set to rattle bass bins soon. Having extensively contributed as a writer to The Guardian, CRACK and Bandcamp Daily as John Thorp, Loveless was responsible for both the introduction and a number of essays for ‘Techno is Boring’, a book of photography from Daniel Avery and Keffer. Humorous and introspective, earning compliments from Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh, the book was introduced by a European tour, including a transcendent back-to-back with Avery at Berlin’s ambient-oriented kwia, and an alternately thunderous appearance at FVTVR in Paris. Loveless has passed at various tempos through iconic nightlife institutions such as The White Hotel, Ohm, The Warehouse Project and Hang Dai. At Alkan’s request, his versatile ear broke down eras on 2020’s ‘A Psychedelic Sensibility’, a compilation blending highlights and obscurities from the history of Phantasy Sound, which was awarded Compilation of The Month by Groove Magazine. A sequel, ‘A Psychedelic Sensibility II: The Remixes’, followed in 2023. Following two compilations raising funds for charities Doctors Without Borders and Habibi.Works, Hot Concept continues to introduce like-minded underground talents like Teplice, Yr Lovely Dead Moon and Beigean, pairing their productions with boundary-free remixes from esoteric artists such as Peder Mannerfelt and aya.Their RA profile lists Phantasy Sound, CWPT and Hot Concept.Recently at Crack Bellmer, Renate, arkaoda Berlin · often with Frinda di Lanco, BLACK, DJ City, none of them here that night

the whole biography
His productions draw elements from the UK’s rich rave history while pushing a resolutely forward-facing sound. Early EPs on cult UK labels Ancient Monarchy and FTD established a restless, anything-goes approach to music-making, one that extends through to his club sets – a fluid and stylistically diverse selection that weaves between genres and eras while maintaining a fun and carefree approach to dance music. Mixes for Crack Magazine, DJ Mag, Fact and Ceramics (which Thump named their No.1 mix of 2015), as well as numerous guest slots on NTS, Rinse FM and a monthly residency on Refuge Worldwide have cemented his reputation as a thrilling and diverse DJ, as comfortable with well-considered warm-ups as he is playing peak time sets. As joint label-owner of Peach Discs alongside long-time friend Shanti Celeste, he’s released records by Call Super, Parris, Ciel and Peach, setting the stage for exciting developments in the label’s future. As well as running the longstanding Housework parties in Bristol and Berlin alongside Shanti, Golesworthy, and Daisy Moon, he’s played many well-respected clubs, venues, and festivals throughout Europe and the world. With his latest 12” on Erol Alkan’s legendary Phantasy record label getting plays from a wide range of the scenes most exciting DJs and plenty of new music in the pipeline, his activities in the studio and behind the decks continue to mark out Gramrcy as a producer and DJ to keep an eye on.Their RA profile lists Phantasy Sound, Midnight Shift, FTD, Ancient Monarchy and 3 more.Recently at Renate, arkaoda Berlin · often with MLE, Monty DJ, Jan Loup, none of them here that night
