Q&A and Global Vibe Radio 137 Feat. Jon Hester

This week’s Global Vibe Radio mix is a 3 hour 20 minute set courtesy of Dystopian and Klockworks producer/DJ Jon Hester, recorded live at an intimate party at an undisclosed location.

Jon Hester got his start in the midwest US, living in Chicago, Minneapolis, and connecting with Detroit. After years on the dance floor he took to the decks, going on to work in a record shop, host his own events, and hold residencies that developed his sound. Music production and a move to Berlin followed, but dancing and mixing are still the inspirations that drive him to create. His DJ sets are built on physical rhythms and adventurous programming, effortlessly combining diverse varieties of techno and house. With an engaging presence and a knack for telling a story, he builds a unique connection with each audience and works any room until it sweats.

Jon’s latest release is the four-track Aether EP which was released on LET Recordings this past December and is available on the label’s Bandcamp page.
