“This is how trance is meant to be: beautiful bosh that takes you to another place” Mixmag feature February 2003. A lot can happen in 12 months, for Jon O’Bir, 2002 started off with him mixing in his bedroom like thousands of others dreaming of the big time, but as the hours counted down to 2003 his dream came true and he was warming up the crowd at U.K. super club, Godskitchen. It all started back in September 2002, when he entered a DJ competition for Passion and M8 magazine along with 300 other hopeful DJ’s.
