Monday, 21 August 2006

Sweetchilli touring is pleased to announce national tour dates for John Askew. Coming off the back of an extremely busy 18 months in which he has released not one but 3 mix compilations, a debut artist album, "Lower the Tone" on his own Discover label aswell as 6 original tracks and 7 remixes John is one of the hottest tech/trance producer/djs in the UK, if not the world, right now. John Askew returns to Australia for just the second time with a schedule that includes dates at some of Australia's best clubs and club nights.

John Askew is without doubt one of the hottest tech/trance producer/djs in the UK, if not the world, right now. Since the huge successes of his debut singles Vellum, The Door and New Dimension, he has gone on to deliver release after release of consistently high quality club music either through his own Discover, Discover Dark or Kompressed labels or more recently on Armin van Buurens Captivating Sounds imprint. He has also remixed for numerous high profile labels such as Euphonic Records, Afterglow Records, Duty Free, Ministry of Sound, Monster Records, Flux Delux and Paul van Dyks legendary Vandit on which Johns remix duties have been employed on more than one occassion.

His debut artist album Lower the Tone received massive acclaim in the press and within 4 weeks of its release it was sold out.

Johns record labels Discover and Discover Dark have now established themselves as one of the Worlds most cutting edge outputs for high quality trance and techno. With the Discover rosta consisting of artists like John OCallaghan, Inertia, Alex Morph, Greg Downey, Sean Tyas, Neal Scarborough, Bryan Kearney, Thomas Datt, Gate 42, Chris Hampshire, Sensorica, Mekk, Aled Mann and of course John Askew himself, it is no surprise that the top 10s of PvD, Armin, Tiesto, Ferry, Halliwell often include one or two of the latest releases from the label group.

From exclusive residencies at 2 of the Worlds most influential clubs (The Gallery and Ministry of Sound) to an ever increasing number of high profile guest slots around the world, John is also now enjoying the rewards of over a decade of consistently hard work. In 2005 the worlds number one dj, Paul van Dyk, requested John to be the only guest at his legendary Birthday Vandit Party in Berlin. In 2006 Armin van Buuren requested John as the headline guest for his ASOT 250 club night in The Hague.

From guest appearances on BBC Radio One, to hosting his own weekly show on Londons prestigious Kiss 100 to now taking up an exclusive residency for Paul van Dyks exciting Vonyc broadcasting platform John has always been at the cutting edge of electronic radio broadcasting.
