BLACK JACK aka JOHN MORRISON

[ "Submorphosis / Mr. Man" | Soiree Rec. Int. | Fathom Records  | Scenic Music| RF Music | Psycho Thrill Rec. | BangTech12 | Xenology, Aberdeen UK ] Black Jack, better known by his DJ pseudonym Mr. Man and also under the dub step genre as Submorphosis, has been in and around the dance music scene since 1996. His influences came from Detroit, citing Juan Atkins, Rhythm is Rhythm, Eddie Flashin Fowlkes and Jeff Mills as creators of his electronic techno style. A regular at Scotland’s finest club nights Pure, Slam, Test, Pussypower, Syntax and Subculture, these nights became pivotal points in his early days as DJ, opening the flood gates to an abundance of top acts from around the globe. Fast forward to September 2009 and Black Jack had his first transatlantic vinyl release on Derrick Thompson’s label Soiree Records International in Detroit. In LA he also had releases out on Lucas Rodenbush‘s label Scenic Music and again in Detroit, an E.P. out on Dwayne Jensen‘s (r.i.p.) label Fathom Records. Beside this he started releasing on Vancouver based RF Music, run by Rennie Foster, with a track on the Entrowerk compilation. On his home ground, he released on Murge Recordings and Rhythmic Science (alongside Mark Archer, Derek Carr and Mark Ambrose), with more releases due out on Feelharmonic Records and classic rave/bleep label - Ozone Recordings. Finally he started his own imprint, Xenology Records, with co-owner and DJ partner Jace Syntax, which focuses on futuristic house and techno. His tracks have been remixed by Drivetrain, Pure Science, Atesh K, Aubrey, Hughes Gibouley, Lucas Rodenbush – E.B.E., Dave-G, 2lite, Thomas Barnett, Jules Wells, Jace Syntax, Jacksonville, Jay Tripwire, Cloudmaster Weed and Sean Deason. Alongside his own productions Black Jack's DJ career has seen him play in the best underground clubs in Scotland, including the Pelican, Soundhaus, Club 69, Glasgow School of Art, and Carlton Studios, along with other international gigs. He has been a resident at club nights Syntax, Bang Tech 12, Pigeon Project, Meautronix, Science Friction and Funion and has played alongside Blake Baxter, Richard Grey, Nathan Coles, Laid Back Luke, Funk D’void, Pure Science, Tama Sumo, Thomas Barnett, Claus Bachor, Tim Baker, Deepak Sharma, HD Substance, Detroit Techno Militia and Derrick Thompson, to name but a few. At last but not least Black Jack describes his own unique style as a mixture of tribal acid house and techno, with soul and atmosphere. without the past … there’s no phuture … these alltime top20-faves in no particular order
