John Julius Knight / JJK is best known for dancefloor hits, such as “All I Do” (Cleptomaniacs feat. Bryan Chambers), which reached #23 on the UK`s top 40 chart, Eminence feat. Kathy Brown “Give It Up” and his Soulfuric Trax classic “Find A Friend”. He is also renowned across the globe for his energetic and unique DJ sets.
