John's love of dance music began in the late '80s and was cemented during a holiday to Ibiza in Summer 1989 (Lil Louis's French Kiss being his defining track of that time). In the early '90s John bought the Technics 1210s that he still has today and DJed at parties and clubs around London. In 2021, noticing that his local radio station didn't have a dedicated slot for techno, John pitched the idea of a techno show and secured a weekly 2-hour slot: Technotron. The show goes out live on Mondays from 22:00 on In2Beats (106.5FM, DAB, in2beats.com) Technotron features the best in new and classic techno. John plays music from a range of producers and record labels, and from a wide selection of years; he also features interviews with artists such as Mark Flash of Underground Resistance. (John is a devotee of Detroit techno, and there is usually at least one UR track in his set lists). Why "Technotron"? Since its creation in Detroit in the 80s, techno has had a strong connection with science fiction and futurism. Cybotron's Alleys Of Your Mind in 1981 is widely recognised as one of the first techno tracks. The show's name seeks to carry on that connection.
