John Kong is a Toronto-based DJ, label owner, curator and record collector. His selections for the dancefloor echo his work with Do Right Music, a record label that championed emerging artists including the Afrobeat sounds of The Souljazz Orchestra, disco house of Tush, and deep funk of The Soul Motivators. His DJ philosophy, as evident in the eclecticism of his label roster, is to take audiences on a musical journey that defies genres. John’s acclaimed compilation, ‘Ready Or Not - Deep Jazz Grooves from the CBC Radio Archive’ shines a spotlight on jazz from Canada and demonstrates his knack for discovering forgotten classics. For over two decades behind the decks, John has shared the DJ booth with some of the world's most renowned open-format DJs including Gilles Peterson, Theo Parrish, Jazzanova, Shuya Okino, and Lefto, and has opened for legendary artists such as Roy Ayers, Kamasi Washington, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Lee Fields, The Roots, De La Soul, Hiatus Kaiyote, and Terry Callier (at the Jazz Cafe London UK).
