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.

Justin Berkovi

Sign in to edit

Justin Berkovi is a British techno DJ and producer based in London. "British techno don Justin Berkovi's productions offer just as much to advocates of pounding minimalism as to fans of the emotional ambient wing of techno. Born in Watford [1] (though he spent part of his childhood in Luxembourg as well), Berkovi grew up with synth pop and hip-hop. After experimenting with electronics and tape loops while still at school, he began focusing on music after graduating from Sussex University in 1996. His first major releases came on Sativae and Cristian Vogel's Mosquito label, and he soon earned notice with singles for dancefloor experimentalist imprints like DJAX and Force Inc. By 1998, he'd founded his own label, Predicaments, and recorded his first LP, Charm Hostel. One year later, After the Night followed." [1]

"Closer to his heart still though was the opportunity for Berkovi to produce four tracks for the John Peel Session on BBC Radio One (1998) – a great honour bestowed upon Justin and a great feat when the Session was replayed a second time." [2] Peel only heard the session when it was repeated, as he was 'unavoidably detained' on its debut, when the show was presented by Steve Lamacq.
