Jolyon Petch Biography

Theres not much that Jolyon hasn't accomplished in New Zealand, he's a DJ,
music producer, magazine publisher, party promoter & big time party animal.

His musical background started over 13 years ago playing the piano & drums
in school orchestras & funk, ska bands. It wasn't until the late 90's till
Jolyon started honing his skills over the decks & playing parties in the
under ground rave scene.

Dj'ing in back bars of clubs & parties, Jolyon's reputation for spinning up
sexy swingin' beats were getting him more work around town, by 2000 he had
already Dj'ed in most of the bars around Auckland and his profile was
getting bigger. March 2000, Jolyon launched Infusion magazine into the
Auckland club scene. The fortnightly magazine is often refered to by people
in the know as the only NZ dance bible; covering dance events, nationwide
gig guides, photos, interviews and much more.

This also came at a time when Jolyon was discovering his love for all styles
of dance music, often being booked as a party Dj, playing House, breaks,
prog & Trance. Having such an open mind to playing all forms of dance music
opened up bigger challenges for him, such as the politics in the scene.
However this did not deter him from sometimes playing 3 multi genre gigs a
night.

Hassling promoters to give him a set worked in favour one day when he was
asked to become a resident Dj at the famous Bed nightclub on K-Rd. This was
his first major club residency.

Here he honed his skills over the decks for over a year and a half playing
to crowds regularly of up to 800 weekly. After a year of playing at Bed,
Jolyon & long time friend Sam Hill started a coinciding night 'Pure n' Sexy'
on the Friday which meant Jolyon now had a double residency Fridays &
Saturdays at the most happening club in Auckland.

Here he also started taking more and more bookings for the touring super
clubs and international DJ acts playing in the back bars. Although it
wasn't long before Jolyon starting taking main stage bookings supporting
countless International DJ's and in the process maturing himself into the A
grade league of Dj's in New Zealand.

Jolyon has had top Dj billings and has performed at Ministry of Sound, Two
Tribes, Cream, Slinky, Gatecrasher, Velvet, Decadence, Lagered!, The Brain,
Ourhouse, Vibes on a summers day, Deep Hard n' funky, Chemistry, Unity,
Discothequé, Renaisance, Ourhouse, along with many top local events
including his own hugely successful promoted events, Glamour, High Rollers,
Style Deluxé, Glisten, The Big Club night Out, the House Sessions & Infusion
House parties & his successful - Pure n' Sexy.

Jolyon played main stage at Slinky New Years two years in a row educating
the huge crowds with his blends of House, breaks into trance. Both years saw
him play to over 2000 people in the main room at the Auckland town hall, and
the first year 2001/02 he played four hours on the main stage. Not many
other top local Dj's can boast those kind of honours.

In June 2002 Jolyon & Sam Hill took 'Pure n' Sexy out of the club & onto the
road, with a complete Nationwide tour taking in Auckland, Tauraunga, New
Plymouth, Ohakune, Wellington, Christchurch & Queenstown. The tour was a
huge success. Two months later Jolyon was asked to mix his first CD for
dance event company 'One Green Apple' and was back on another comprehensive
nationwide tour promoting his mix CD with fellow Dj Andy Day, the CD sold
over 3000 unit's.

The CD started off Jolyon's career in music production as he recorded a
track for the CD. 'Calling 2002'

Then 2003 was a busy year for him, playing at Two Tribes, Slinky Planet,
Chemistry, Unity, Vibes on a summers day, Ourhouse. Pure n' Sexy moved to
'Suite 16'(Which is now Code NightClub). Jolyon also toured around the
country on various gigs.

ELO classic tune 'Evil Women', & passing on a copy to superstar Dj Judge
