Biography of John O'Callaghan
'One of the most exciting producers in the world today’ Paul Van Dyk, 2007.
John O’Callaghan’s rapid rise to fame upwards through the ranks of world’s DJ/producer elite has been nothing short of meteoric. He has stamped his authority on the global Trance community over the past 18 months emerging as one of the most prolific authorities in one of the most competitive scenes in the industry. Having long since won favour with the scenes major players through a catalogue of floor shaking releases & jaw dropping DJ performances John emerges in 2007 as one of the Trance scenes elite & at the forefront of a new generation of artists pushing the genre into new dimensions.
After so many colossal releases and remixes for Discover (not to mention the work for labels such as Vandit, Armada, Euphonic, Mondo, Galactive, Midway, Gesture….) there is no arguing that John O’Callaghan is one of the most in demand producers in the world right now.
Through his partnerships with John Askew, Neal Scarborough (as Inertia) and Bryan Kearney he has flexed his production muscles on leading UK imprint Discover – delivering monster remixes and enormous singles like “Exactly”, “The Chamber”, “Restricted Motion” & “Game Over”. Those together with his killer solo singles on Discover Dark (“Vendetta” & “Stormy Clouds”) have firmly established Mr. O’Callaghan as one of the key forces in the trance scene. John’s DJ performances at the backend of 2006 saw him headline events in Poland, Holland, Germany, Sweden & Cyprus between performances with UK heavyweights Crasher, Escape & Inside Out where he recorded the next installment of Discovers “Live As” compilation series scheduled for full release at the end of March. His year was rounded up in style after 5 entries in the DJ Mag Top 100 cited him as their major tip for 2007 (more than any other DJ in the poll) & a further 3 cited him as their favourite producer of the year. As if this weren’t enough John also climbed 115 places up the Trance Addict Top 250 to number 38 in the World!!!
2007 will undoubtedly be John’s biggest year to date with booking enquires coming from every country imaginable & a road blocked schedule taking him into the summer. Throughout the spring John is firmly back on home soil with bookings throughout some of the biggest nights the UK & Ireland have to offer with The Gallery, Goodgreef, Heat, Peach all included & debuts for Clinic & Resonance all in toe as part of his “Something to Live For” Album Tour. Meanwhile the summer sees John pull out the clubcard & clock up the airmiles again as his Album tour goes international with stop off dates in Finland, Poland & Italy before full tours of South America Australia & Poland which are scheduled for June & July.
But don’t just take our word for it – this is what some of the finest names in the business think about John:
