Magnus Johanson

The DJ and Artist www.magnusjohanson.com

Magnus Johanson is a well experienced and future orientated international pro DJ, radio programmer and an upcoming producer. British American, half Swedish from mother’s side and was born in Geneva. He grew up in Brighton and he has previously lived in London and worked within the music industry for major/independent label/publishing companies. Currently, he has DJ residencies for his ‘Ignite Dance Sessions’ radio show at Louder FM and ‘Ignite Sessions Nights’ at Pimpernel Club in Munich. He has also performed for international radio stations and venues in Europe and USA. In Sept 2013, he relocated to live and work in Munich with the aim to establish himself as one of the top players within the growing Munich’s music/club

scenes and beyond in Europe and USA. Continuing to develop his ‘Ignite Sessions’ brand: ‘Ignite Dance Sessions’ radio show and ‘Ignite Sessions Nights’ club night event. Coming soon later with plans for a production label and a new website etc. His musicianship is even more amazing when you know and realise that he was born with congenital deafness in both ears from birth, due to rubella caught by his pregnant mother. To defy the odds, he managed to DJ with his only one functioning right ear to pursue his dream of becoming a professional DJ that he is today. His goal is to further his international DJ career by continuing to develop his DJ and production sounds bringing and performing his unique blend of technisch music in the form of deep-/ tech-/ funk-/ vocal-house with some twisted techno-/ and tech-funk-/ nu-skool breaks to the city of Munich and beyond worldwide to music loving audiences. He also plays other styles of music: soulful, electro, classic and NRG house when necessary depending on venue/theme of the night.
