By the early age of 16, John began DJ-ing 2-4 nights a week at some of the Jersey Shores most popular teen nights, playing to over 3000 people per week. At age 19, he broke into the Philadelphia and New Jersey nightclub scene, playing at almost all of the area’s largest venues. In addition, he had landed a weekly residency at Shampoo; one of Philly’s largest and most famous nightclubs at that time, where he would play on the main floor for an attendence of 2000 – 4000 people!

John did not stop at the turntables. In 2000, John began to make his own remixes and edits. In less than one week after finishing his first remix, “Heaven on Derb” was played in nightclubs and on radio mixshows around the U.S. John used his knowledge of music and dance floors, to continue to create club anthems.

In 2002, he commercially released some of his own house remixes on “White Label” vinyl. These records had become some of the best selling White Label vinyls of the year.

As Hip-Hop was making a radio and nightclub comeback in 2002, John extended his talents, and began to make his own Hip-Hop edits, soon to be referred to as “Mash-Ups”. Again, his music took off, and was instantly played on radio, and in nightclubs around the country.

In 2006, John was asked by the World Famous Crooklyn Clan (DJ’s Riz & Sizzahandz) to become one of the first artists on the all-new “Vault” on CrooklynClan.net. Immediately, his mash-ups became the highest ranked on the website. Ever since, John has become one of the top selling mash-up artists in the U.S.A.

John continued to produce and remix House music as well. In 2006, he had released 7 remixes on various record labels in the U.S. and U.K. Some of which hit Billboard charts in both continents. Others were licensed on mixed CD compilations, and charted by some of the world’s biggest DJ’s! In addition, for over 3 years running, John expressed his “House Music” talent on XM / Sirius Satellite Radio, RadioDanz, and iPartyRadio.com, every weekend across the U.S., with an average of 500,000 listeners per week.

Today, John Farruggio, is known as one of the most energetic DJ’s in the U.S.. His DJ sets are a constant mix of energy, ranging from Hip-Hop to House, and everything in between.

From Atlantic City to the Jersey Shore, from Philadelphia to Virginia Beach, and New York to Miami, John has spun at most of the top venues the east coast has to offer. He has played before celebrities such as Tara Reid, Jon Bon Jovi, Vanilla Ice, Paris Hilton, Bruce Springstein, Jennifer Lopez, Bill Clinton, Justin Timberlake, Puff Daddy, and Fabolous, to name a few.

Britney Spears has closed out her 2009 / 2010 Circus World Tour every night, using John’s remix of “Break the Ice”. In addition, the MLB World Champion team, the St Louis Cardinals, also felt it was only right to have John Farruggio make their “Take the Field Opener” for their championship year, which was used at every game as the team was announced onto the fields!

In addition to playing guest spots at nearly every major nightclub in the tri-state, John has held residencies at some of the Tri-States largest venues including the #1 Jersey Shore powerhouse, “D’Jais in Belmar” for 5 years and running.


Whether it be House Remixes or Mash-Ups, you will hear John’s music in clubs, stadiums, and radio across the globe every night of the week. The name “Farruggio” has become a staple in the nightclub industry.
