Deep Club / Jewel

DJ GANT JOHNSON (Deep Club / Los Angeles) DJ Gant Johnson (@dj-gant-johnson) is a veteran DJ originally from Chicago. Gant moved to New York City in 1991 where he soon met Frankie Knuckles and Judy Weinstein, who swiftly inducted him into the legendary record pool, For The Record. In additional to DJing full-time throughout NYC for 20 years, Gant co-founded Captivating Records and ran long-running club nights like Salon Wednesdays, Cock & Soul, and several other weekly parties. In 2012 he moved to Denver, where he connected and vibed with the Deep Club collective, and he now resides in Los Angeles. Gant always stays true to his roots and DJ heroes, especially Frankie Knuckles, Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, Ron Hardy, & Tony Humphries. Gant still fills in for occasional resident duties with Deep Club and he DJs regularly in Los Angeles. This mix takes us on a musical journey through many styles and even closes with a classic TV theme show song.
