SIMON GARCIA (SPAIN)
Born in late ‘70s, Simon grew up listening legendary bands such as Depeche Mode, New Order or Kraftwerk, but also enjoying genres like Blaxploited Funk, Latin-Rock, Rare Disco, ‘90s House or Acid-Jazz, among many other things. A musical bagage that later would found an artistic point in common on himself. Nowadays, Simon has seen his works released on labels such as Supplement Facts, Dieb Audio, OM Records, Cécille, NRK (coming soon) or Composite among other high-profile labels, either with his real name or his soul-fueled project Larakki, releasing original tracks or remixing for the likes of DJ Yellow, Matthias Vogt (Motorcitysoul), Wagon Cookin', Lee Burridge, Tomoki Tamura among others. His genuine, timeless, personal and futuristic sound is already getting constant support, plays and charts for the likes of Laurent Garnier, Jimpster, Guy J, Dyed Soundorom, Seth Troxler, Guy Gerber, Phonique, Martin Landsky, Oxia, Radio Slave, Deetron, Steve Bug, Motorcitysoul, Nacho Marco, John Digweed, Slam, Gel Abril, Okain, Michel de Hey, and other authentic worldwide tastemakers. A unique vibe that can be completly felt in his dj sets, which you can also follow on his show ‘The Green Lab', aired monthly on Proton Radio.
Keep an eye on his brand new label Soylent Green Lab, which he will launch soon on a vinyl basis, featuring the likes of Alain Ho aka DJ Yellow (Composite, Ovum), Justin Drake (Peace Division, Tsuba), Phonogenic (2020 Vision), Stel (Dieb Audio, NRK), Varoslav (Supplement Facts), Daniel Kyo (Plastic City, Night Drive), Kasper (Bassculture, Safari Electronique), Loogin aka Patch Park (Be As One, Variance), Jesus Gonsev (Troubled Kids, ProgCityDeep) and other established artists as well as up-and coming exciting new talents.

John also due to his family's musical history took influence from classical music , where he took great inspiration from Vivaldi , Mozart , Tchaikovsky,and many more .

John is fast building a great reputation in Ireland ,the UK,and now internationally. John's sound is one of a journey and captivates people where ever he plays with his unique style of choice when choosing tracks to play, that he likes to describe as " layering emotional sounds into a journey, and it is about playing the best tracks out there no matter what genre it is weather it is house ,tech, techno,break,electronica,p​rogressive,indie nu-disco etc etc" and not following just one genre or being a purist,it is with this that Johns broad knowledge of different genres and love of electronic music that provides him the ability to combine all of this into his sets, while creating a blissful,melodic,emotional​, energetic progressive sound and still holding onto that Techno edge.You can be sure when you come to hear John O'Connor play that you are going to hear some special electronic sounds whilst trying to hold on that emotive energy that he creates on the dance floor.
