FROM AIRMASSMUSIC.COM:
John Stigter, born in 1981, has always been interested in music and sound. As a kid he experimented with his grandfather's tape recorders and from 1992 until 1998 he played the organ. The musical knowledge he gained still comes in handy when creating music. John’s love for electronic dance music commenced in the early 90’s when bands like Scooter were leading the international pop charts. Later on he became more interested in hardcore music. Yet, around 1999 John discovered a new music style he still loves today: trance in all its forms.
When John teamed up with his friend Peter Gommers, his producer career took up quickly. Peter made a remix of John's track In Motion which got the attention of Airmass Music. Not much later, Airmass signed the production and released it under the project name Lost Angeles. Peter's Mindcrawler Remix was featured as the A-side. It took the theme of the original and turned it into a dark tech trance record which was in high demand and playlisted by top DJs such as Rank-1, Cosmic Gate, Yves Deruyter, Marco V, Mark Norman, Les Hemstock and John 00 Fleming. As a result, it reached a high chart position in the Technics Dutch Dance Charts by IDP.
John likes to travel. In 2006 he went on a three week trip to Ohio, USA. The trip made a big impression on him and he will visit the States again later in 2008.
Apart from producing music, John holds a bachelor's degree in Digital Communication from the Hogeschool Utrecht. At present he works as a test engineer for a Dutch IT company.
