SUMMARY:Jon Da Silva // Forty Five Records Presents
LOCATION:Kanteena
DESCRIPTION:Forty Five Records Presents Jon Da Silva. We’ve been dying to
  get Jon back since his last trip to the tiny city so here we go….. a ma
 ssive night i the rave cave of Atika awaits!! Jon has been a huge influenc
 e in the career of so many DJs and he will be joined by Tim Hamblin\, Mart
 in Collins & Sam Close. With a career spanning four decades\, which began 
 in what many consider to be the birthplace of the British House and Techno
  music scene and the UK’s music mecca\, Fac 51 The Hacienda\, and a busy
  UK and international schedule that shows no sign of abating\, few of toda
 y’s DJs can boast a pedigree like Jon Dasilva\, who was recently voted i
 n at #25 in Iconic Magazine reader’s poll of All Time Top 50 DJs. The Ha
 cienda in Manchester\, circa 1988\, was a special place – a convergence 
 of post-modern architecture\, cutting edge music and out-there youth cultu
 re. It was home to Factory Records (arguably the best record label of the 
 decade)\, and some of the greatest bands for decades to come\, including N
 ew Order\, the Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses. It was also home to thre
 e DJs – Mike Pickering\, Graeme Park and Jon Dasilva – who in the word
 s of the great Tony Wilson of Factory Records ‘pissed petrol on the fire
 ’\, sound-tracking the whole affair with a freshness of attitude that la
 unched many a club… and even more DJs. You’ve probably read the books
 \, seen the films\, bought the albums\, and yes\, worn the Tee shirt. Cons
 idered to be Hacienda’s most singular resident DJ\, Jon Dasilva was fres
 h to the scene in ’87\, finding DJ inspiration in the House and Disco DJ
 s of deepest New York and Chicago\, amidst a sea of influences\, from Bowi
 e to Dub Reggae to Kosmische Musik to Disco. His broad musical tastes and 
 ability to work so many genres into proper dance floor action mark Dasilva
  out as a next level DJ\, taking his cues from the greats that inspired hi
 m\, including Francois Kevorkian\, Ron Hardy and Lil Louis. His greatest l
 egacy from that period\, alongside championing the early Chicago and Detro
 it sound\, was his imaginative take on the idea of the DJ set. Not content
  with simply mixing one track into another\, Dasilva wove acapella and sou
 nd effects into a broad selection of House\, Acid\, Disco\, Techno and Bre
 aks\, intuitively mixing in key\, building a set dynamic that until then w
 as rarely heard on UK shores. In the words of Sasha\, who regarded Dasilva
  as his mentor: ‘Well Jon to me was the most influential DJ in my career
  really. He showed me the way. Not only did he give me my first breaks\, m
 y first proper\, proper breaks\, he taught me how to build DJ sets. I used
  to go and watch him play from 9 pm and follow the whole night\, listening
  to the way he crafted his DJ sets… his use of acapella and sound effect
 s was just mind-blowing. He was so ahead of the game. I don’t think ther
 e’s another more influential person on my DJing career\, really.’\n\nB
