About Me


JOHN FERRIS, Australian born Sydney based, has been headlining the biggest and most upfront techno underground events, clubs, parties, bush doofs and raves for over a decade. Always looking for something different, places where people want a performance that speaks something more than the tracks played - a journey, a joke, a dark side passage or something more threatening - JF takes you somewhere else if you’re up for it! Known to play everything from techno and all types of trance through to hard dirty house music, psychodelic progressive house music and disco breaks.
Headlining at major events including the likes of Two Tribes, Big Day Out, Transmission, Gatecrasher, Gods Kitchen, Sounds On Sunday, Slinky, Welcome NYE and many, many, more, JF has also played along side the worlds best DJ’s Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy, Timo Maas, Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyke, Frankie Knuckles, Tiesto, Blutonium Boy, Lucian Foorte, Chris Liberator, Mark Spoon, Taucher, Peewee Ferris, Underworld, Thomas Schumacher, Paul Oakenfold, Seb Fontaine and so many more we couldn’t list them all here.
