DJ John Player Special Shares 10 Favorite Tracks From His Vinyl Collection
DJ JPS a.k.a. John Player Special, born João Gomes da Costa in Lisbon in 1979, spent his youth in Braga in the north of Portugal. In the last 15 years, John Player Special has built a DJ career that spans practically all major Portuguese clubs and music venues like Lux Frágil, Rock in Rio, Pensão Amor, Out Jazz Festival, Plano B among many others, and has cemented his position as one of the most hard working and original DJs in Portugal.
In today’s digital age, he remained faithful to the analog days and his vinyl record collection is an impressive homage to the best soul, funk, hip-hop and jazz of the 20th century. JPS will play Lisb_ON Festival this summer – a sun soaked festival in the heart of Portugal’s capital – and in honor of the occasion we asked him to share his 10 favorite tracks from his collection.
