Book Jon Dasilva
"Legend is a word used way, way too often, but I think it's fair to say Jon has earned that title. Resident at probably one of the most important clubs in history, literally at the absolute pinnacle of Acid House - 1988 to 1991. But what has surprised me about Jon compared to many others of that era, he continues to play new music, always digging and pushing underground artists…"

Remixes
"I started remixing in 1989, with what is considered by many to be a timeless classic, Big (Baka) by The New Fast Automatic Daffodils and have, over the 30 years, remixed for many great labels and artists. My remix of Colourblind, You’re Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else, became the basis for the collaboration with Maceo Plex which went on to win the Best House/Garage Track at the 28th Annual International Dance Music Awards, 2013. I’ve remixed a number of bands over the years, clients like New Order, A Certain Ratio, Inspiral Carpets, Sub Sub, so don’t be shy if you have a band project, I’m excited to work in most genres." - Jon Dasilva
