JHNN (pronounced J-H-double-N), or John K Arum, is a 25 year old Electronic producer/DJ from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Having been active in productionand DJing since 2009 in his bedroom while bringing his DJing skills to clubsthree years later, he’s developed a sound that can bedescribed as “mellow dark disco”.

This all came to be after finishing high school,coinciding with the rise of dance music on pop radio stations and theincreasing popularity of DJing. With that, JHNN decided to enter remix contestsand record demos. He uploaded his first public remix 'Burns - Nu-disko (JHNN rewerk)' to Soundcloud,demonstrating not only his interest in disco, but more notably his interest inthe bass element of disco while keeping the vibe of the genre intact.

After competing in several remix contests, JHNN becamecomfortable enough to self-release his first EP Radio, where he combinesthe low-end focus of dubstep with disco and house.

This eventually led to him recording his first LP HYPOCRT0: .Th3m, featuring a wide range of influences such as Last Gang Records artists Metric,Death from Above 1979 and MSTRKRFTas well as an afrobeat influence coming from UK funky. The album wasself-released in early 2014 through Bandcamp, and helped JHNN shape his darkdisco sound.

As deep house started rising from the underground in2012, JHNN noted the similarities between his music and the sound that had ahouse-oriented approach to bass music, and went on to change directionsmusically. This led to his EP Electronic Circus –inspired by the MuchMusic TV series Electric Circus –released through local Calgary label Vivid North in January 2015, marking a newsound and direction for his career.

JHNN has gone on to open for acts like Kid Koala, KANT,Simon Doty and Danny Howells. He continues to self-release his material andrelease through mainly Calgary-based labels such as Substation Recordings forfree, and is currently working on a new EP slated to be released spring 2015and an LP for late 2016.
