Justin played an absolute blinder at the Verdant Taproom back in November 2022 and we can’t wait for his return in 2023. We invited Justin to come and play at the taproom based on a joint love for his music as well as his art. We haven’t read his books, yet. But if they follow the same trajectory as his music and creative endeavours then we’re pretty sure they are going to be amazing.
Justin is a renowned DJ, music producer, painter and broadcaster. For the past 30 years he has been a leading figure in the dance music world, falling in love with it whilst completing a degree in philosophy at The University of Manchester.
He headlines clubs and festivals around the globe as a DJ and formerly with his band LionRock. As well as his own musical productions, he is much in demand as remixer having worked with the likes of Bjork, New Order, Noel Gallagher & Erasure over the years.
In the past decade, he has exhibited six acclaimed collections of his art around the UK and Europe, including producing a soundtrack and book to accompany them. He hosts two popular shows “The Temple of Wonders” and “The Rotating Institute” bi monthly on Soho Radio.
He has written for Ransom Note, The Social and The Guardian on music, travel and philosophical matters, interviewing the likes of Rob Newman and Gary Lachman. His first novel, The Tangle, was published by White Rabbit on 4th November 2021.
We sat down and listened as Justin told us how it all come about. Its a long listen but we think you’ll enjoy it just as much as we did.
