DHT Podcast 105 - John Acquaviva by Deep House Toronto published on 2021-05-14T12:24:20Z If you haven’t heard directly of John Acquaviva’s works, the chances are - whatever your involvement with electronic music is - that you will be aware of his work and influence within the electronic music community. The Italian-Canadian artist may be best known for his involvement with the techno titan Richie Hawtin, and the forming of the highly influential labels Plus 8 Recordings and DEFINITIVE recordings. However, his influence, and reach extend in swathes beyond these considered pillars of dance music culture. Although his music and industry accolades sit amongst the greatest in the game, much more can be said about the kind of driven, open-minded character John Acquaviva possesses. A natural entrepreneur, an industry visionary, and an avid collector of records, Acquaviva has long set the pace in an underground movement that has become so fruitful and diverse since its inception - not to mention being one of the most technically gifted DJ’s to grace a pair of turntables. Acquaviva is as intrinsic to the progression of dance music as any and a true pioneer in the evolution of what we consider the modern DJ. On the technological front, no other DJ has made such significant contributions to the advancement of how DJs perform. Acquaviva’s masterful technique and a firm grasp of the trade led to his fruitful involvement with Final Scratch and Beatport. A vital founder and active member of both companies – the former, a tool that allows manipulation and playback of digital audio sources, and the latter, a major online hub for electronic music – John’s role extends far beyond his taste-making capabilities. He’s been an integral figure in sculpting the genre’s game-changing transition from analog to digital, and from vinyl to turntables and laptops. Sharing this vision with fellow Canadian act Richie Hawtin, the pair spearheaded a project that would act as the iTunes of dance. Together, the duo arguably paved the path for a new and zestful era. Some words from John about this journey: "Happy to mix some of my favourite fun house tunes for deep house with summer just around the corner as we dream of beaches, hope for parties, and flirt with the craving of spending time with old friends and new" Follow the Artist: Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/jacq Facebook: facebook.com/JohnAcquavivaOfficial Instagram: instagram.com/JohnAcquaviva Follow Deep House Toronto: Soundcloud: @deephousetoronto Facebook: facebook.com/deephousetoronto Instagram: instagram.com/deephousetoronto Genre Deep House Comment by Mischelle funky 2021-06-26T01:40:43Z Comment by We Remix [PLAY MUSIC] yes! 2021-06-24T15:06:42Z Comment by Getting Deeper Fun set John! 2021-06-03T09:16:02Z Comment by The Hollygrove Cafe, New Orleans House music, my true love! ✨✨🌚❤️🔥☕️✨✨ 2021-05-27T13:14:51Z Comment by Berlin Techno Music supported! 2021-05-26T10:00:30Z Comment by Barbur Room supported! 2021-05-26T08:01:38Z Comment by La douce Playlist nice vibes 2021-05-25T08:06:39Z Comment by Dawgs Musik cool set! 2021-05-25T03:00:16Z Comment by WOLLION amazing vibes! 2021-05-24T17:05:46Z Comment by Nils Lejoner Reposted ! 2021-05-23T09:43:24Z Comment by Valera Under Music VERY NICE!! 2021-05-22T23:21:30Z Comment by Deep House Ibiza (DHI official) nice !! 2021-05-21T14:03:41Z Comment by Kapoor amazing! 2021-05-21T05:50:55Z Comment by Jvd2 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 2021-05-19T17:23:48Z Comment by Jvd2 🔥🔥🔥 2021-05-19T17:14:53Z Comment by Jvd2 Loving the older tracks. 2021-05-19T17:04:14Z Comment by iam_Anne ahh these old lovely horns!! wonderful memories 2021-05-19T14:53:51Z Comment by iam_Anne loving these old tunes 2021-05-19T14:44:49Z Comment by 303lovers Official Love it! 2021-05-19T12:27:50Z Comment by RED ROOM Nicely done <3 2021-05-18T19:02:48Z Comment by The Deep Control some old-school house vibes here :) 2021-05-18T15:32:00Z Comment by Tonspuren Well done!!! 2021-05-18T10:07:03Z Comment by POLYPTYCH UNIVERSE Supported by Polyptych Team <3 2021-05-18T10:02:13Z Comment by tb13 I am sitting in my room, and watching through the window!
