About John:

John Paynter is a Leeds-based DJ, producer and founder of Paisley Dark Records, known for deep, genre-blurring sets that drift between Balearic psychedelia, cosmic disco, dub pressure and hypnotic techno.

Now entering its fth year, Paisley Dark has become a respected underground imprint championing tripped-out electronic music, earning support from tastemakers and spins on BBC Radio 6 Music along the way.

A key member of the Balearic Burger crew, John regularly plays at their events in Ibiza and at the legendary Golden Lion in Todmorden, building a reputation for immersive, slow-burning sets rooted in atmosphere and deep musical storytelling.

Alongside running the label and curating the bi-monthly Paisley Dark radio show, John also records under the collaborative moniker A Space Age Freak Out, working with a range of underground artists across the psychedelic and electronic spectrum.

Over the years he has shared line-ups with artists including Andrew Weatherall, ALFOS, Richard Norris, Justin Robertson, Richard Sen, James Holroyd, Paranoid London and U.N.K.L.E, bringing his distinctive cosmic sound to clubs, festivals and late-night danceoors across the UK and Ibiza.

We’ve curated this special mix for when you need that quality time and space to yourself to unplug from the everyday hustle and bustle and plug into some music whilst getting your daily steps in.

We feel this could work first thing in the morning, during lunch or an early summer’s evening; it’s got that lift me up, feel good vibe about it but with a moment of downtime in between too.

Tune in, turn on and walk out. Enjoy!"

From Avery in New York:

Hi Simon! I just went through your 'Music For Walking' series and I’m honestly mesmerized. The way you blend those Balearic vibes with sci-fi disco elements is pure genius. It’s the perfect soundtrack for a long stroll so immersive and atmospheric. Bristol has always been a hub for incredible music, and your sound definitely carries that legacy. I’ve already added your latest mix to my favorite rotation here in New York. Keep dropping these gems!
