Pioneer of The Acid House Music Scene

Resident at probably one of the most important clubs in history, literally at the absolute pinnacle of Acid House – 1988 to 1991. But what has surprised me about Jon compared to many others of that era, he continues to play new music, always digging and pushing underground artists

Here are some past events graphics and flyers for your perusal. Spanning many years these are updated on a regular basis.

Hacienda Origional

During his residency at The Hacienda, Jon Dasilva became well known for his use of a cappella vocals and sound effects. Such techniques influenced a new generation of young DJs, including Sasha, who credits Dasilva for teaching him how to mix harmonically and build sets.

Boogie Down Bronx

With a career spanning over 35 years, that began in what many consider to be the most important and influential club of its generation, Fac 51 The Haçienda, and continues with his residency for the award winning I Love Acid club night

Timeline

Considered to be Haçienda’s most singular resident DJ, Jon Dasilva was fresh to the scene in ’87, finding DJ inspiration in the House and Disco DJs of deepest New York and Chicago, amidst a sea of influences, from Bowie to Dub Reggae to Kosmische Musik to Disco

What others Say///

"Well Jon to me was the most influential DJ in my career really. He showed me the way. Not only did he give me my first breaks, my first proper, proper breaks, he taught me how to build DJ sets. I used to go and watch him play from 9 pm and follow the whole night, listening to the way he crafted his DJ sets… his use of a cappelas and sound effects was just mind-blowing. He was so ahead of the game. I don’t think there’s another more influential person on my DJing career, really." Sasha

Book Jon Dasilva

“Legend is a word used way, way too often, but I think it’s fair to say Jon has earned that title. Resident at probably one of the most important clubs in history, literally at the absolute pinnacle of Acid House – 1988 to 1991.

But what has surprised me about Jon compared to many others of that era, he continues to play new music, always digging and pushing underground artists.”
