John Vicious

John Vicious a.k.a Prefix is John Vichos from Johannesburg, living in Cape Town. He took his love for electronic music from collecting albums to performing regular gigs when he began mixing in 2006. John wanted to do more than to just dance - he wanted to be part of spreading musical awareness into the wide and varied world of Underground Electronic Music. He slipped smoothly under the radar as a would-be-DJ; partying as usual whilst soaking up the scenes and the sounds, before coming out as a musician with solid groove and sense of self in 2007. His alias as Prefix focuses mainly on outdoor festivals and psychedelic culture while John Vicious still carries that flavour is more club-based, hypnotic Techno/House/Minimal, body music. An intelligently aroused style; which reveal his audience to understand each beat and move with him. His ‘in deep’ appreciation for music that moves your soul has seen him rise among the ranks and given him recognition as a serious player, influencing the sounds of the ‘Generation Clash’ that brings young and older clubbers together- through a movement for real and raw dance music. Playing at many of South Africa’s most highly respected dance arenas including (but certainly not limited to) Fiction, Truth nightclub in Johannesburg, Fiction on Long Street and Teknotribe are high of the ‘to do’ list of any local Techno DJ. John does this all from his heart, commanding powerful audiences and influencing dance sects through his sound and symbolic homage to the Electronic Dance Music fanatic's lifestyle - wherever it may take him. ॐ
