John Morrison aka Black Jack has been DJing for over 20 years and has produced music on labels around the globe. He plays everything from acid, house and techno and is a keen collector of vinyl.
John Morrison aka Black Jack has been in and around the dance music scene since 1996, where he started out DJing as Mr Man. His influences came from Detroit, citing Juan Atkins, Rhythm is Rhythm, Eddie Flashin Fowlkes and Jeff Mills as creators of his electronic techno style. A regular at Scotland’s finest club nights Pure, Slam, Test, Tangent and Subculture, these nights became pivotal points in his early days as DJ, opening the flood gates to an abundance of top acts from around the globe.
Fast forward to September 2009 and Black Jack has his first transatlantic vinyl release on Derrick Thompson’s label Soiree Records International in Detroit. In LA he has released on Lucas Rodenbush‘s label Scenic Music.
He has recently started releasing on Vancouver based RF Music, run by Rennie Foster.
On his home ground, he is releasing on Murge Recordings, Ozone Recordings, Cosmetiq and Rhythmic Science (alongside Mark Archer, Derek Carr and Mark Ambrose).
He has also started his own imprint, Xenology Records which focuses on underground house and techno.
His DJ career has seen him play in the best underground clubs in Scotland, including the Pelican, Soundhaus, Club 69, Glasgow School of Art, and Carlton Studios, along with other international gigs. He has been a resident DJ at club nights Bang Tech 12, Pigeon Project and Funion.
