John England (born 1954) is a professional disc jockey who started spinning in nightclubs in 1976 in the Seattle area. He currently runs the local record pool, Northwest Dance Music Association and is regarded as the oldest, continuously working nightclub DJ in the Pacific Northwest.
Having been a DJ for 30 years and having invaluable ties to the dance music industry, I hope to keep the information contained here honest and accurate.
