John Graham has been a busy man in recent years, having overcome a recent dry spell and change in management the Quivver sounds system is booming again! Juggling collaborations and tours with such giants as Planet Funk and Hybrid, along with production work and DJ gigs all over the planet… John has still managed time to DJ compilation for you Quivver fans.

Over the last 15 years John `Quivver’ Graham has firmly established himself as one of the dance scene’s most pioneering & respected producers. Having been signed by Paul Oakenfold to his `Perfecto’ label, then ont Major Dance label, A & R records and finally Virgin Records.. John has attracted the attention of some of the worlds Biggest labels.

His first mix compilation transport 5 was released to much critical acclaim on American label Kinetic records in 2001, John spent the newxt few years constantly touring and building up his DJ profile..and also launched his own BozBoz label. Then in 2004 John was scouted by Italian dance mega band Planet Funk, as they were looking for an English singer songwriter to work on their 2nd album “the illogical consequence”. After initially recruiting john to write 2 tracks, they eventually wrote 7 tracks together for the album. John toured with the band in 2005 and performed several MTV shows and also Live 8 in Rome in front of 300,000 people following on after Duran Duran!

Now roll onto to 2006 and John has firmly established his own BozBoz imprint, under the wing of Critical Rhythm label Management.. and he felt the time was right to, once again, to release another of his dj mix outings…

“its been 5 years since my first official mix cd ‘transport 5′ was released so i thought it was about time i put something new together!” says John “i originally intended to release a mix about a year ago but got sidetracked, mainly due to touring with planet funk all last summer. finally i got chance to start hassling people for tunes and now i’m so glad i waited. i definitely picked a good time to compile the music for this cd, there was so much good stuff to choose from and i have also been busy in the studio myself recently so there are a few new unreleased tracks of my own here too”

“i’ve tried to condense what i play in a three hour set into one cd, and at the same time hopefully made a mix that is not just a straight up club set but something people can listen to at home, in the car, on the bog or wherever!”
