For Jon O'Bir, 2002 started off with him mixing in his bedroom like thousands of others dreaming of the big time, but as the hours counted down to 2003 his dream came true and he was warming up the crowd at U.K. super club - Godskitchen.
It all started back in September 2002, when he entered a DJ competition for Passion and M8 magazine along with 300 other hopeful DJs. He won! Then he was the Internet radio station - BPM. With his style of progressive/uplifting trance and expertly blended mixes, Godskitchen soon noticed his potential. They were looking for a new young DJ to offer a residency to and the prospect of a fledging career as Britain's next DJ sensation.
"It is unbelievable! I've loved mixing since I bought my first set of decks two years ago and now I get to do it in clubs all over the country for thousands of people" – said Jon O'Bir for Mixmag in 2003.
Jon is one of the leading DJs at the moment who is carving the new face of the trance genre. One of the key aspects that differentiate Jon from many of the other DJs in the trance genre is his effort to incorporate upfront trance productions by unsigned producers.
Jon's love for Trance allowed him to create his own record label - "Conspiracy Recordings"' alongside up & coming U.K producer Rob Stevenson. The label has been a huge success with virtually every release receiving great support from all the big jocks and tracks being included on Tiesto's and Armin van Buuren's mix compilations. 2006 also was the year of Jon's first 2 solo productions: "Effectual" and the massive "Ascendancy" which went down a storm in club land.
2007 is set to be another action packed year for the Nottingham born DJ and producer, producer being the key word in 2007 as he starts to smash out the top quality productions and a surprise artist album due for release late 2007 that will surely push Jon O'Bir to greater things.
