John has since collaborated with various labels, contributing music and remixes to the dance music scene. His recent work features on the VA: Repeat 2xCD compilation, alongside notable artists such as Humanoid, LFO, Altern8, and even snooker legend Steve Davis.

Beyond his contributions to dance music, John also shines at Hip Hop events, performing with the Zip Tie Hi Fi Sound System in Devon, UK. His dedication to the craft is evident in every scratch and mix, making him a celebrated figure in both the dance and hip hop communities.
