John Askew is a massive shit stirring knob piece who talks shit continuously and from time to time makes the occasional record. “I play the music I have always been into. And so does John ‘00’ Fleming. He’s one of the few genuine people in this viper’s nest of cunts that has his integrity intact.” So begins the scathing rundown that trance veteran and recent Perfecto recruit John Askew delivers on the current state of the scene, which he claims has been heavily creatively compromised by DJs and producers seeking to scale the ladder towards fame.\r \r Askew’s recent movements have seen him slot right in alongside Fleming as one of the scene’s most outspoken critics, not to mention linking hands with Paul Oakenfold to help drive a renewed Perfecto Records stable (under the distribution of Armin van Buuren’s dominant Armada stable, no less). He’s also drastically scaled down the amount of DJ gigs he’s playing.
