DJ Seduction, real name John Kalkan originally was a Hip Hop and Soul DJ and crossed over in the late 80's after hearing the new Acid House music. Seduction would regularly watch big name DJs like Carl Cox and Grooverider perform and this served as inspiration to become a DJ.
Seductions first performances were at small warehouse parties in South London. In 1991 with the rise of the second wave of the rave scene he got his first breakthrough, producing the track "Hardcore Heaven" originally as a white label which was signed up to the massive record label FFRR and become a great success.
More tracks followed later in 1992, including the release of "Come One" with a remix of "Hardcore Heaven" on the reverse. Following a signing by Carl Cox's DJ agency, Seduction received many DJ booking during the period and these included many of the biggest raves, like Fantazia, Dreamscape and Perception.
At the end of 1992 DJ Seduction formed his own label "Impact". On top of his own material DJ Seduction has performed many remixes of some of the scenes biggest records as well as DJing on several full album releases.
With the split of the scene and the end of 1993 Seduction experimented on his style before deciding to concentrate on Happy Hardcore. Not content with just DJing and record releases Seduction formed United Dance and Hardcore Heaven and started staging many of his own large scale parties which were 100% Hardcore drawing crowds from as far a field as the Channel Islands.
Several years back, Seduction had a break from the scene, stating the stress of racing up and down the country DJing, promoting, releasing records and staying up all night in studios had taken their toll.
Thankfully however after a well deserved rest the wheels of steel spin once more and Seduction is back doing what he does best, tearing up dancefloors across the globe and releasing brand new upfront material on the now legendary Maximum Impact record label.
Not content with giving us the music to jump up and down about and dance till we drop, Seduction set about promoting his own take on the new generation of hardcore, once again giving us one of the greatest events of the last few years - Uproar.
Uproar this year celebrated its fifth birthday this year and as with all previous Uproar events it was a stormer. If there has been one constant throughout Seduction's Career it has to be the simple fact He knows how to throw one hell of a party. With that in mind, enjoy the music, party hard and turn it up!
