Taking huge influence from his previous expeditions in music as "The Gabber Jihad," Johnny Foreplay brings about a heavy-hitting darkside to the world of Dubstep. Inside his mixing you'll hear touches of Hardcore Gabber, Dark Psytrance, IDM, and a multitude of other sonic components all blended together to create a neo-futuristic dark and heavy atmosphere.
Much of Foreplay's creative spark while producing and DJing comes from his innate ability to mentally represent sounds as having particular shapes and sizes, a condition known as Synaesthesia. This odd take on music is used to send users on an adventure through various worlds whose textures and contours are shaped by harmony and rhythm.
Jack was also previously a co-owner of the Minneapolis based rave production team Rapid Pulse Productions which was started by DJ Oblivi0n (Cloud), himself, and a couple of their friends. Rapid Pulse has been responsible for some of MNs greatest all night parties and many club events as well. The crew has also had an amazing DJ roster over the years and helped some of MNs younger names out in their beginnings. Vaski, Oblivion, Lucy Luxe of Dirty Talk, and Martyrs are some of those people. Along with that he has also shared the stage with acts like Bare, Broken Note, Deadly Buda, Dieselboy, Mumblz, NiTGriT, Numbernin6, Smash Gordon, and Spree.
A live set from Foreplay is not one to be missed. As one friend put it he "brings enough energy to the decks to knock down a skyscraper." Combining ridiculous stage presence with technical and harmonic mixing is where he has gained most of his recognition. He has also been mixing and producing for over 8 years now making him a surefire bet if you want to book an experienced and talented yet up and coming DJ.
