Jon The Dentist

Jon The Dentist (born John David Vaughan) is a prolific UK hard house/trance producer who has released material both on major labels (Sony and EMI Positiva) and his own labels (Phoenix Uprising, Platinum and Boscaland) under a variety of names. One of the latter, Dentist From Boscaland, included Peel on vocals.

Jon achieved a couple of lower rung UK chart entries in collaborations with Ollie Jaye (Imagination, Feel So Good) at the turn of the Millenium. AllMusic says: "Some so-called trance DJs like Sasha and Paul Oakenfold crossed over the masses in the late '90s. Not Jon the Dentist, though. His popularity skyrocketed, but he remained strictly a favorite with the eternally youthful rave crowd. This is because the Dentist's style of trance borderlines on hardcore that is so fast and relentless -- a far stretch from his more accessible so-called trance peers." Although his releases featured heavily on Peel's programmes of the 90s, he was not universally popular, as hard house producer S-J claims: "Personally I can’t stand Jon the Dentist: he is totally untalented and rides off other people's success. Check out the Pyramid album for any further proof of tone deafness! As far as I’m concerned, the guy’s a prat."
