John Graham Biography
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monikers(s): Quivver.
Quivver tunes are a part of every top DJ's box and have been for some time now, from -the early days of Saxy Lady and Twist & Shout right up to date with the monstrous She Does, Quivver has been, and continues to be, one of dance music's main attractions.
Quivver was originally signed to A&M Records, where, along with writing partner Neil Barry, they released 2 tracks (as mentioned above), both making huge dents on the dance-floors of the World and gathering a massive, ever growing following for Quivver along the way. The likes of Sasha, Oakenfold, Digweed and many, many more became fans and Quivver became a household name! During this period John was also recording under the name of Skanna and had a label of the same name where he released around ten tracks that reached the hearts (and record boxes) of people like Fabio and Grooverider and Doc Scott. The Skanna tunes were an outlet for John's darker side - drum and bass and deep beats - influenced by John's love of Hip Hop, Electro and all that went off in the breakbeat days of the 80's.
A shake up at A&M left Quivver free to move onto pastures new and John at this time split with his recording partner, but continued to work under the same name. Paul Oakenfold was first off the mark in the Quivver chase, already a huge fan and seeing this extreme talent free for the taking, Paul snapped up John and signed him to his own Perfecto label. John released tunes on Perfecto; DJ'd as part of their massive tours and continued to blossom until the demise of the label and their split with East West in 98. Later in 98 John signed up a deal with Virgin records and changed his name for recording to Stoneproof. The release of his first single Everything's Not You on Virgin came with much critical acclaim and huge support at club level with The Quivver Mix on the track being included on Northern Exposure, Resident - 2 Years of Oakenfold at Cream, Sasha's Global Underground and more!
John Graham continues to remix and DJ also and he is also one third of Tilt (along with Mick Park and Mick Wilson). Remixes recently have included Karen Ramirez Lies, Jeff Wayne's Eve of The War, Space Manoeuvres Stage One, Culture Club's Do You Really Want To Hurt Me and Time, and more recently on Libra Calling Your Name and Danny Tenaglia Do You Feel My Love. John is also working in the studio with Sasha as we write working on what promises to be a monster tune for Sasha's album.
Projects for 2000 have seen John release (at last) the massive She Does, which has also just been included in the soundtrack for Maybe Baby tipped to be this years Notting Hill. This year will see John taking a U.S. residency (bi-monthly)@ Twilo N.Y.C, Quivver go live and more European dates as well as new productions.
Quivver One Last Time
Since the early releases of Sexy Lady and Twist & Shout, Quivver tracks have become essential pieces of vinyl in every DJ's record box. And now after a twelve month recording sabbatical, John Graham returns with a stunning single, One Last Time for VC Recordings.
As one third of Tilt (alongside Mick Park & Mick Wilson) and global DJ escapades, John Graham has kept himself incredibly busy. There's been a whole host of Tilt live shows, wowing crowds from London to Miami. He's been DJing in some of the worlds most inspiring locations, including a recent slot at the Olympic Village in Sydney and an American tour. Plus John has also found time to get creative in the studio with Sasha. One Last Time follows on from last years She Does and has already been championed by Pete Tong's as his Essential New Tune, with needless to say, further support guaranteed by the usual suspects.
Caught somewhere between a dance star and a rock star, John lends his wanton vocals to the single, leaving lyrical interpretation open to the listener. The track is uniquely suited to both solitary moments of reflection and the uplifting excitement of the dancefloor. John's production skills are second to none and he continually sets exciting standards for the rest to follow;proving why he's one of the dance community's brightest attractions.
One Last Time will be released on February 5th on VC Recordings. John in the meantime works on material for his debut album and begins his Twilo residency (first Friday of every month) from January 2001.
From his literally underground beginnings as a coal miner in Coventry, John has carved his way overground and stands poised and ready to blast his way into the mainstream
