About me:
DJing for Dummies is OUT NOW!! The US release has been brought forward by a couple of weeks, and it's now available through Amazon.com.

First things first. Strangely enough, DJ Recess isn't my real name. If it was, you'd have to assume I'd have taken my mum to court for abuse a LONG time ago... My real name is John... John Steventon. Hello. And as to the DJ part of the name, I don't ever use that, but Recess was already taken on MySpace, so I went for the DJ part. So I'm known as John - or as Recess. Never Judy...
A quick diversion, if you don't mind. If you'd like to help me 'win' a PS3, could you click on this link? CLICK HERE I don't know if a click is enough, or if you need to sign up to it - but if you can help, I'll be eternally grateful :-)
I hope that I'm seen as a relatively good natured, calm kinda guy who doesn't let much stress me out. I'm more of a passive guy in real life, letting things happen, rather than affecting what's going to happen. I've always wondered if this means I'll be eaten by an angry bear, hoping someone else will help get him out of the way, but hey - I'll know that when it happens.
I'm now freelance as a TV editor, making it on my own (I hope) rather than working for a company. As this MySpace page is more about me as 'Recess' than my day life, I won't mention much about it here, but if you go to www.jklediting.com, you can find out more.
I've developed a bit of an addiction to Poker. I love playing home games with friends, and get a real kick out of playing. As that doesn't happen much, I tend to play .. more than home games. If you ever get the chance to look for DJRecess at with FullTilt or PokerStars, come give me a shout.
But it's DJ'ing that's where it's at. I've dedicated the past 11 years to teaching people how to DJ, through my website at www.recess.co.uk, and now I've written a book geared towards all you new DJ's out there, "DJing for Dummies" for the people who make Windows for dummies etc.
You can use these links to buy it, if you want... HERE to go to see it at Amazon UK or HERE to see it at Amazon.com
If you have bought it, and that's why you're here, I'd love to hear from you. If you've got any questions about the book (whether you've read it or not), please get in touch, and I'll do everything I can to help you out.

Who I'd like to meet:
Famous or non famous? Famous, I'd like to meet Sasha, Luc Besson, Julia Roberts, John MCEnroe, Michael J Fox, Jack Nicolson, and all of the Pokerwire Radio people.
Non famous, I'd like to meet up with old friends, like Karl Muntandem.
And a polar bear.
