Spurious is a Dutch producer blending deep house and chillout vibes with global reach. His debut album hit #1 worldwide on Beatport. Since then he has released singles on UK’s Bacci Bros Records, which has also featured artists like Hardage, Artful Dodger & Romina Johnson (Moving Too Fast) and Jocelyn Brown. He later delivered an official remix of Don’t Let Me Down by Hardage featuring Maxi Priest. He has continued to share music on other international labels as well as his own imprint Chill Out Now, appearing on nearly 100 compilations.

The Early Years

Born in the Netherlands with a deep passion for music, Spurious (John) was already sharing his favorite tracks at the age of 10. He spent much of his youth immersed in sound, influenced by artists like Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Dune, The Prodigy and Chicane.

The Actual Start

John began producing and mixing around 1998, driven purely by passion and curiosity. After watching “Tiësto Live At Innercity” in 1999, the dream of becoming a DJ took hold. He bought his first turntables at Tiësto’s Magikal Music Store, started performing, and grew more serious about production. In 2007 he achieved his first release on Digidance (NL).

The Journey of Spurious

John has produced music under the name Spurious since 2004. In 2015 he began releasing music officially under this alias, starting with a solo album that reached #1 worldwide on Beatport. This was followed by singles on Sunset Music (NL) and Bacci Bros Records (UK). At the end of 2016 he launched the podcast ‘Chill Out Now‘, a dreamy deep house series that gathered over 200.000 plays and built the foundation for his label of the same name.

The show is available on major platforms such as Apple Podcasts and TuneIn, as well as many smaller outlets.

In 2017 Spurious remixed ‘don’t let me down‘ by Hardage featuring Maxi Priest and began releasing on his own label Chill Out Now, alongside other international imprints.
