   About DJ John Thomas
Photobucket website promo I first began listening to experimental electronica in middle school. Groups like Dead Can Dance, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, Kraftwerk all became part of my pre DJ electronic rotation. I loved the music, but was also very into the jam band mentality and listened to the Dead, Jimi, Santana, Phish. I also grew up listening to Jazz and Soul blues fusion. These random genres were afloat and still are today in my mind, but when I saw the video of "setting sun" by the chemical brothers on mtv, my high school mind knew something amazing was in this music that was never on the radio. I started immersing myself into anything experimental and electronic. Older friends would take me and sneak me into clubs where I began to hear names like Frankie Knuckles, Junior Vasquez, Frankie Bones, Mark Farina, Crystal Method, Death in Vegas, Future Sound of London, etc. I began soul searching, and found a bit of myself in the trip-hop arena, with portishead and hooverphonic. The music blew me away and touched my soul like nothing I had heard before. Something about it made me feel so alive. My first few mixed cds were from JV, MF, and the Swedish Egil. I introduced the music to anyone who would hear and soon had a few close conglomerates stuck on it, like my best friend DJ Zane M. Then during a speech class a friend presented a speech on turntablism and used me as his guinea pig. I bothered him for three months after to go play on his turntables, and soon surpassed his knowledge, and begin doing parties quickly. I had a blast, loved the music, and found it was a way to help a stranded generation feel at home. It was a community. A community of diverse souls that simply wanted to dance and listen to good music. I took a four year break and completed my BA and MA then came back to the CDJ generation. This allowed my music much more diversity and also much more experimentation. I fell in love with the thought of DJing once again and set out to begin playing all around Chicago, with another close DJ friend, Joe Ruggiero. The rest is simply history....

Freeker5 & Guchinskiy
Do It! EP

Genre: Minimal, Techno.

Some comments:
Ronald van Norden (Eminor, Tracer, Tight Lipped): I love the style of Freeker5 and this is another bomb EP he did with Guchinskiy. "Do it!" is my favourite! Full Support!
Robert Blake: I like Freeker5, it works fine, classic but cool!
Israel Montenegro (Montenegro Recordings): Full support BMM35, 3 tracks are good quality, great for Freeker5 & the label!!!
Galuszka: Do It, is a track perfect for the momentum build within a set. Freeker5 & Guchinskiy get deep and spacey in Soul Vibrations.
The Reddman: The Freekers & Guchinskiy DO IT! EP really "does it" for me! Three tracks good for Jackin' depending on how hard you want to Jack the House! All three now have a spot in the crate and will be played soon.

Mario Plaza
Vocal Sense EP
with the remixes of Luis Noic

Genre: Techno.

Some comments:
Carsten Rausch: I really like Mario Plaza - Vocal Sense. All Mixes are nice, but the Original Mix is my fav. Full support for that one!
Dave James: Vocal sense is cool, hypnotic mix is my fave.
Galuszka: The original starts chunky and gets funky, a nice groove. The remixes by Luis Noic take it minimal. The Hipnotic remix revisits some classic techno sounds, love it.
The Reddman: The Vocal Sense Track was very smooth. It was one of those tracks that make you want to just stand in front of the speaker, close your eyes and let the music take you on a trip to somewhere deep within your own mind. 
M.O.D.E.: Luis Noic on vocal sense is great.
Marc Fuccio (Fresh DJS): Favourite mix is Luis Noic Hypnotic remix. Deep sounds with brilliant production. This spare tune has enough hooks to take you on a journey. Gets my support.
