Biography

The man behind Johan Soh is Johan Olofsson.
It should really be enough just mentioning this fact. Johan Olofsson is the don of Scandinavian breakbeat. Apart from his Swedish recidencies at Berns and Main, he has frequent DJ-gigs across the world including USA, Europe, Asia and the UK, and is well renowned for his surgically refined mixing techniques. He has played alongside such greats as Rennie Pilgrem, DJ Hyper, Shut up and dance and Krafty Kuts and one way or another worked with 90% of the world-wide breakbeat elite.

Johan is also head honcho and label boss for Sweden based beakbeat label Sound Of Habib Recordings and is also involved in both SOD records and Disuye. He started producing music in 1999 with the tune "Enjoy (remix)", the first ever SOH release. This was a double A side 12" with Il Stefano & Mr Fantastic's "Dread" on the other side. He has since done some remix work and released a string of well received 12"s. These include Invincible "My mind" on Freakaboom and Johan Soh "The Blizzard" on Music by numbers/React. He is also one third of Random Source (together with Dan F and Stisch) responsible for the notorious "Zombie Rats" and "Big stupid grin" on SOD, a label co run with Dan F. Recent work includes remixes that have all been played on BBC Radio 1, like the Invincible remix of Karton's "Firefucker". He helped compile and mix the Safe Breaks breakbeat compilation for Dorigen, and is hard at work with the labels as well as getting back into the studio to finish some new slamming Johan Soh, Invincible and Random Source cuts. Lately the label has brought you the impressive "Beauty in me" by Stisch which has once again turned heads world wide. The heat was turned up even more with the release of Invincible "Mean streets" in October 2004, the best selling 12" in the label's history.
