The 'Thursday Night Live Show' is hosted by John Lommers
|
John Lommers, also known as "Bad Motherfunker," started DJing at the age of 12 at his local soccer club. He even built his own speakers, DJ set, and FM transmitter at that young age. In 1980, when he was only 15 years old, John got a huge opportunity to work as a light jockey at Discotheater Galaxy in Den Bosch. Working alongside DJs such as Robin Albers, Arjen de Gram, Svenno Koemans, Jan van Son, and Joep Gersjes fueled his ambition to become a DJ himself.
In 1984, John was given the chance to DJ at Galaxy himself, starting with Sunday afternoons, later filling in on weekends, and eventually becoming one of the resident DJs. He soon began playing at other clubs such as Broadway (Erp), De Rodenburg (Beesd), and Toys (Uden). John expanded his DJing work to include large national roadshows for Veronica, Tros Popformule drive-in shows, and Philips Moving Sound Sound shows. John also has a great love for radio and worked for several years at stations in Amsterdam (Extra 108) and Belgium (Fantasy FM). John Lommers and Rene Vercruyssen are also the organizers of the annual Galaxy Classics Party, which has been held since 2012. STARGUARDZ. Disco Reinvented. John is also with Oemar Joemman, the founder of Starguardz, a disco house label with its own radio station, DJ management, and events both domestically and internationally.
