JNR | JUST-NOT-RIGHT

With a professional career spanning 26 years, JNR is a veteran selector whose technical pedigree was forged in the world’s most demanding booths. Defined by a deep-rooted history in the global underground and a technical discipline that only comes with decades of residency, JNR views every set as a "vivid composition of sound"—weaving together deep cuts, guttural percussive rhythms, and melodic peaks that explore the full spectrum of electronic music.

The Global Pedigree

JNR’s reputation as a consummate resident was built at the world-renowned ZOUK (Singapore), a tenure that served as the foundation for headlining sets at global festivals including Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival, Malisambo, and Wonderfruit.

His history is defined by the company he keeps. JNR has shared the stage and supported a massive roster of the industry’s most influential architects:

Underground & Techno Titans: Seth Troxler, Dubfire, Joris Voorn, Paul Kalkbrenner, Fritz Kalkbrenner, Tiefschwarz, Anja Schneider, Agoria, and Trus’me.
House & Disco Legends: Louie Vega, Derrick Carter, Dennis Ferrer, Osunlade, JojoFlores, Dave Lee (Joey Negro), Norman Jay, Dimitri From Paris, and Dam-Funk.

Luxury Curation & International Reach

His ability to translate underground sensibilities into sophisticated atmospheres has made him the premier choice for luxury brands and global events. He served as the official DJ for the F1 Grand Prix in Singapore (Ferrari Paddock Club) and has curated the sonic identity for Gucci, Loewe, Marc Jacobs, Tiffany & Co., Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, Dries Van Noten, DSQUARED2, and BMW. His international footprint extends across the globe with notable residencies and headline appearances:

Asia: Zouk, La Maison, il Lido (Singapore); Nokal, Phono, Citrus, Embassy, Chemistry (Manila); Home Club, Kee Club, Dragon-I, Fly (HK); 40 Thieves, Morabito, Behind The Green Door, Ku De Ta, A Club (Bali); Q Bar, Tapas (Bangkok).
Beyond: Studio 9 (New Zealand); Hacienda (Mexico).

The Toronto "State of Play"

Now back in Toronto, JNR operates as a driving force and industry tastemaker. As the Head of Curation for ZIPDJ.COM and A&R for the legendary Hi-Bias Records, he remains at the forefront of the global dance catalog.

A frequent collaborator with jojoFlores and the Gotsoul Music brand, JNR has recently brought his "International House" aesthetic to the city's most respected sonic hubs:

Underground Hubs: Wiggle Room, BLK_SPACE, BSMNT 254.
Discerning Venues: Mister C, Clio, Moretti, KOST, Taberna Social, and Makilala.
Special Events: Bespoke curation for Bellosound, providing the backdrop for TIFF and the Four Seasons.

The Vision for 2026

Drawing on his high-concept tenures in Bali and Hong Kong, JNR is currently focused on establishing new residency partnerships in Toronto that prioritize sound design and rhythmic consistency. He offers a curated, international atmosphere tailored for venues that demand technical excellence and a deep-knowledge approach to the booth.
