John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Jasper Byrne

Jasper Byrne is a British video games developer who made his name as a drum and bass producer, better known as Sonic. He also worked under the alias of Accidental Heroes along with his long-time collaborative partner, Silver (aka Dean Fletcher). As well as producing for some of the most prominent drum and bass record labels (including Virus Recordings, Metalheadz and Hospital Records), he also had his own label, Space Recordings.

He later became a video games developer and his best-known work in video games is the 2D horror game Lone Survivor, which he developed almost entirely on his own.

He contributed music to the game Hotline Miami, four tracks of which are available on his record label's bandcamp page. His music will also appear in Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number.
