John Heckle -Hek-

John Heckle has been doing the rounds in Liverpool since he was 15 - most commonly under the alias ‘John Demonic’ at the Alcatraz night ran by his brother Bill Heckle, where he shared the stage with many of his biggest influences - including Regis, Steve Rachmad and Neil Landstrumm to name but a few.His first release appeared on Birmingham’s RSB label at 16 under the alias Hek, and he has continued to make tracks since - with releases now lined up for Grovskopa’s Pohjola imprint and Paul Mac’s Sula Muse.He can now be found performing under this Hek alias - using 3 turntables and a tr505/NovationDrumStation combo for live 909 sounds - every month at Liverpool’s Rehab night - playing sets illuminated by classic Detroit and Acid; Hood-style minimal; and tougher edged Birmingham and European. Over the past year John's sets have become increasingly popular, and he can be seen playing at various nights all over the north.Look out for Hek at various gigs in the future, inside and out of Liverpool.
