What a fantastic interview in a perfect setting,My favourite jtd productions are (Shinto and Lick it up,)Absolute massive club monster tunes back in the day,Was very lucky to see Jon play at the legacy festival in the very beautiful Belgium 🇧🇪 Incredible buzz and be very hard to find any better.We need to see Jon more playing out again,The guys a true master at what he does.😎❤️🦛
I spent an hour watching this. Had to keep pausing to check discogs for all the tasks Jon mentioned. Never knew Mantra to the Buddha was by him. The track "higher state" on that record is one of my favourites. Thank you for another great interview!
What a gent. Just rediscovering his stuff but remember some mix from him on a tape back in the day that was super awesome.. not surprised he's a opera fan :)
Although I can't really agree with John on everything (mainly the "modern trance is better" opinion) this has been one of the best interviews so far. So much respect to John for being so openly honest about every topic touched upon!...that police raid story though🤣
Hi jon, I remember the 1st time i played your global phases for the 1st time at MOS, think it was around summer of 1996, I loved it & so did the crowed, some of my dj mates were well jellous of what i dicoverd of you back then, I still get it out at home hear and there, but yes, its good to have inproovements of an old tune, we all need this & defo a super remix of our times, i have more of your work too. Respect to you jon. Oh.... And great intervue too. cheers
Really great interview, loved his music and remixes (i.e. stuff for the Stay Up Forever crew & labels) during the 90's. What a nice guy, good to finally have a face to the music as well! His London Acid City remix is still a fave of mine.
What a fantastic interview and what a likeable chap he is. He was/is the biggest influence in my DJing and music production. Acid trance will always be my favourite! Global Phases is my favourite (the Prolekult version), other personal favourites include The Culture, Shindo, Stress (as Madeley) (mental acid trance), Save My Soul, Sola Nova and Eden (Lick it up Baby)
Wow, I didn't realise he was also responsible for 'Playa Sol'. I was playing that record just yesterday with my 3yo daughter on my lap singing along. A brilliant interview, thoroughly enjoyed this one with John 😀♥️
Partly responsible... it's a Sam Spacey production originally credited to No One Driving and originally on Phoenix Platinum. I don't actually think Jon had anything to do with it initially. The major label release, which is a different production, was credited to No One Driving vs. Novacane (Jon the Dentist).
Please mention and promote the amazing official mix by Mobi D from positive state of Global phases - its not mentioned in the interview but it deserves some limelight…. It is outstanding
Could you post links to all the record labels etc which are referred to in this wonderful interview please? I've tried to google them but I clearly don't know the spelling of half of them. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the interview! When he does mention the tracks I usually have added a picture in the video so you should be able to see the title etc. Regarding the labels; Not all labels have links or whatever anymore, simply because they don't exist anymore. You can check Discogs and find more info there, but here are the names: 07:45 Prolekult 07:52 Dream Inn 13:50 Suanda Music 17:32 Bonzai Progressive Hope this helps!
Great interview although i would disagree with Jon about the Euro dance sound never being that popular in the UK...especially seeing as in the other interviews with people like Signum, Ferry, Thrillseekers, Safari Duo etc its the UK charts that their singles performed the best on commercially in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Only finally got round to watching this interview with Jon. He makes some valid point which I totally agree on, but I pissed myself laughing with the 'Adagio For Strings' didn't work on any level. I pretty sure a composer like William Orbit wouldn't release a track that didn't sound right with a 4/4 beat? And then Ferry Corsten provide a remix with another 4/4 beat and end up with best selling remixes of 1999? LOOOOL! Jon it seems, isn't afraid to say or write his opinions. Just don't mention Brexit... oops.
I'm loving all these kind comments! Let's clear it up though for a few people below lol - this IS trance - obviously! lol I love the whiskey idea and I had a couple of messages- if people do want to look at bookings just come direct to me on Facebook. Many many thanks - Jon the Dentist x (This is my CZcams account!): facebook.com/jonthedentistofficial2016
Not sure i agree with him that todays trance music is better than 90's stuff, i presume he's talking about early 90's and not mid to late 90's because that was the golden time for trance. Production quality may be worse on some early stuff but the tunes were way better. Today's trance is too generic and most producers have just took samples from older tunes.
@@spacedout2405 go beatport and listen Hard Techno , Melodic Techno , Techno (Peak Time / Driving)..... check HARD TECHNO LIKE Mark Sherry, Derb, Space Frog - FOLLOW ME (N.O.B.A EXTENDED REMIX)
@@rob24974 he is one of the many people that’s still on my wish list. Hopefully next year, seems my schedule for 2022 is full already. I still have 6 interviews to edit and post and I just confirmed some new ones for later this year 😉🤞🏻
Respect to the Dentist but... 'modern trance is better'... get out of here. "The production is superior"... who cares? Technically maybe. But just because something is technically better doesn't make it better to listen to or more entertaining. Nowadays, it all sounds the same. Cookie cutter producers sitting in front of their laptops all using the same bloody 'sample packs'. Rougher production, synths, drum machines, finding your own samples was what gave the older tracks character and individuality. There's a reason this channel covers mostly nineties and early noughties music...
It's all about opinions I guess - I was asked the question- I answered it honestly - from my DJing perspective I much prefer today's tunes. Trance has evolved and as a DJ I have been happy to evolve with it. I don't do nostalgia anyway! lol (Jon)
@@tuitionmatters8349 Nah, 90s trance was the best. Also, I've jammed to Global Phases so many fucking times from the past, even today. Legendary track. And I first discovered it in like 2014.
Sorry but for me his best tunes are his early productions of UK hardcore rave tracks such as ''Ten B&H'' ''Intensity'', and more, under his ''Freshtrax'' alias, and mostly out of his label Little Giant / Big Giant Music.
What is your favorite production / remix from Jon The Dentist?
Well, Global Phases 😅
Damn the man has done so many fantastic things but yeah, Global Phases is definitely one of the best!
Though his remix of Clouds by The Source is a classic as well!!
His remix of Lochi - London Acid City is excellent
The Source - Clouds remix :)
Shindo is hands down one of the best of his tracks. Severely underated.
This is one of the best interviews you’ve done, Jon seems like an all round great guy
Thanks so much! Happy I was able to meet up with Jon in Belgium to do this interview.

What a great guy, I bet this interview could have been 2 hours long. Legend of the dance scene, thanks Twan
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
i have this track on vinyl on the dream inn label nice track

Nice one! And thank you, glad you enjoyed the interview!
What a gent. Just rediscovering his stuff but remember some mix from him on a tape back in the day that was super awesome.. not surprised he's a opera fan :)
What a great interview. He has some strong opinions and isn’t afraid to say them. Also that police raid story was crazy!
Haha crazy right? glad you enjoyed the interview!
He's never been shy of an opinion! Haha. That's what I love about him beyond the music!
Global Phases was and is still one of my favourite acid techno tracks ever! It's a beautifully simple track, but it works perfectly!
I have so many stories about Jon and I from when he used to come to Toronto to DJ in the mid-1990s and early 2000s. We had a lot of laughs!
Brilliant interview again, Twan. What a guy John is!
Thanks a lot Phil! Always happy when I can also interview people who don’t really do interviews often so we get to know more about them as well.
Although I can't really agree with John on everything (mainly the "modern trance is better" opinion) this has been one of the best interviews so far. So much respect to John for being so openly honest about every topic touched upon!...that police raid story though🤣
Haha that story was crazy! Just wow! 🍿
yea most modern electronic sound is so bland!
but thank you muzikexpress for your amazing interviews and all the work!

I'll pay for a whiskey with you- what a top idea :)
Love the sunglasses on John. What a way to place yourself in the frame, Twan! 😁
@16mins - Gabba... Totally agree! Making totally bonkerz OTT traxx is what makes me happy too. 🤩
Lovely lad with good stories. I loved this inter!
What cool stories delivered by a unique character 😂 (unique in a good way)
top bloke jon the dentist....real good interview to....
Thank you so much!
Feel so good
Just love it
The cross between hard house and trance
Still have the tidy vinyl
But have to say Imagination was an amazing track also

Anyone know what the relationship is to the earlier track Pound & Harris -Formentera?
That was a great interview! Thanks for this!
Thank you very much!
RESPECT TO JON THE DENTIST
Legend!!
Jon the legend :)
great track global phases!!is there a remix of it with female vocals saying global phases?im sure ive heard it but cant find it anywhere!!!
Hmmm good question, I’m not aware of this version, but maybe it is a bootleg or so? Or maybe someone else does know hehe
Please mention and promote the amazing official mix by Mobi D from positive state of Global phases - its not mentioned in the interview but it deserves some limelight…. It is outstanding
Not sure how I’ll be able to mention a remix from 2023 in an interview that was recorded in June 2022…. 😉
Wicked ... he made some good breakbeat hardcore in the 90's too.
Wow that's a good memory - I did that as Freshtrax of course! :)
@@tuitionmatters8349 10 b&h is a classic. Would be good to hear you talk about them years too.
@@DistantPlanetTV Feel free to get in touch! I remember them well- and boy do I have some stories of those London days! lol
Although I love pizza, Jon's answer to the final question was the best ever. Pizza yes or no?
😂
Jeep doing this great job mate
…just great!✋🏼❤️🤚🏼…
Trance and electronic sound is definitely not non existent now in the UK. Everyone loves it! Im a trance/hardtrance/acid producer myself
Save my soul

GREAT INTERVIEW TWAM.....will u be interviewing BABY DOC/ JUNKIE XL......OR GUYS BEHIND MOTINI EXP
Thank you! And all on the wish list, but not all that easy seeing where they live etc. But let’s see! 🤞🏻
The song playing in background reminds me of the Olympics when Tiesto played in 1996 or 2000 ish
Makes me want to pull my teeth out one by one 😂

Jon if you read this you should check out a guy called Satronica who did a version of Anarchy about 10 or so years ago
Don’t say never on the Orbital thing either …Phil remixed one of my tunes and I’m not up there like you
no mention of Barabas & OD1 Ghetto Blaster. That was a tune and a half!!
I tend to forget all that hard house stuff lol
Hello 😊
Awesome with artists from Tidy! Someone else that made Tidy Trax tunes you will interview in the future? : )
There’s interviews with Signum and Robert Smit (“The Generator”) online already. For now nothing in the works, but maybe in the future.

I don’t think the Roland JP-8000 was out yet in 1996 😉
Maybe a Nord lead idk.
Dont need to make a tune or be an actual dj to make it anymore. You just have to have a crack social media team 😂
Tales Of The Seraphim….
Everything else was pale in comparison.
