DJ Seduction's real name is John Kalkan
he originally was a Hip Hop and Soul DJ and change in the
late 80's after hearing the new Acid House music. Seduction
would regularly watch big name DJs like Carl Cox and Grooverider
perform and this inspired him to start practising to become
a DJ.
Seductions first performances were at small warehouse parties
in South London. In 1991 in with the rise of the second wave
of the rave scene he got his first breakthrough. he produced
the track "Hardcore Heaven" originally as a white
label which was signed up to the massive record label FFRR
and become a great success.
More tracks followed later in 1992, including the release
of "Come One" with a remix of "Hardcore Heaven"
on the reverse. Following signing by Carl Cox's DJ agency
Seduction received many DJ booking during the period and these
included many of the biggest raves, like Fantazia, Dreamscape
and Perception.
At the end of 1992 DJ Seduction form his own label called
"Impact" and has released many records through this
label and many others, a selection of which are listed at
the end of this section. On top of his own material DJ Seduction
performed many remixes of some of the scenes biggest records
as well as DJing on some full album releases.
With the split of the scene and the end of 1993 Seduction
experiment on his style before deciding to concentrate on
Happy Hardcore. Not content with just DJing and record releases
Seduction formed United Dance and Hardcore Heaven and started
staging many of his own large scale parties which were 100%
Hardcore drawing crowds from as far a field as the Channel
Islands.
For a while Seduction was away from the scene for a number
of years stating the stress of racing up and down the country
DJing, promoting, releasing records and staying up all night
in studios had taken their toll (and who can blame him).
Seduction now feels totally revived and he aims to put his
efforts into making the scene as strong as ever. His main
effort are in promoting the Uproar events including Hardcore
Euphoria in March of this year and an event at the Brunel
Rooms in Swindon.
