Jon Carter plays The Fold on Saturday 17 November at 11pm.

Jon embodies acid house spirit, having spent the last ten years out-grinning even those on his dancefloors. His DJ sets are like walking passed the best sound systems with fat basslines and ragga over house, techno and beats beyond elephantine.

Infused with the original ethos of acid house, to cross pollinate and embrace diversity, in the past decade, Jon has remixed U2 (twice), as well as seminal eighties electro; pulled off a Basement Jaxx/Underground Resistance nexus on one of his many compilations; played alongside both Fatboy Slim and DJ Marky in front of 300,000 on Rio beach; and twiddled a 303 in the legendary Gee Jam studios in Jamaica.

Jon is also a director of some of London?s most forward looking pubs, including the Lock Tavern in Camden, which has featured Sunday roast rocking sets from the likes of Mylo, Tom Vek and Rob da Bank.

His studio skills have been in demand from some of the world's biggest artists with U2 turning to him for both Last Night On Earth and Elevation. The Prodigy, Manic Street Preachers, Stone Roses and Happy Mondays have also all received the Carter treatment.

Tickets, €10/€8, are available from the GPO.
