YDNY - Your Disco Needs You on Saturday 20th August 2022

We return on Saturday August 20th for more Your Disco Needs You shenanigans @ The Carlton Club and this one is gonna be MEGA!!!

I can finally let the cat outta the bag (so to speak) and we have none other than Mr Jon Pleased Wimmin playing for us. The ultimate party DJ.

I grew up with Jon's DJ sets and he was my favourite DJ without question when I first started clubbing. I luckily became friends with Jon around 1992 (although the dates become a little hazy) and attended his gigs with him all over the UK and Europe and we have always remained great friends. When I started to DJ i have had the pleasure of being on the same line up as him on now many occasions and for the first time I can actually bring him to my very own YDNY night. To bring Jon to the Carlton Club is a special moment so you wont wanna miss this!!!
Jon Cooper AKA Jon Pleased Wimmin is a UK DJ who grew up in London and rose to fame in the club world during the 1990’s where his flamboyant cross dressing and stylish presence became a force to be reckoned with.
After cutting his teeth as a clubber at seminal late 80’s London clubs, Jon’s career on the other side of the decks started in 1991. His 3 piece Cabaret act ‘The Pleased Wimmin’ were spotted performing at Kinky Gerlinky by Danny & Jenni Rampling who immediately invited them to come and be dancers at their club Glam at the Milk Bar.
Over the next year it became apparent to Danny that Jon was obsessive about his music and in the summer of 1991, he asked Jon if he’d like to warm up for 6 weeks whilst Danny was in Ibiza. An immediate hit with the crowd, requests for guest slots came in thick and fast and he became a regular fixture at clubs nationwide such as Puschca, Venus, Fabric, Back To Basics, Miss Moneypennies, Slam, Pacha, Space, The Pod, Ministry of Sound, Cream and Renaissance amongst many others.
Overseas beckoned and by the end of the 1990’s Jon had played pretty much everywhere from Ibiza, Buenos Aires, Japan, South America, Australia, South Africa, Singapore, USA and more, alongside the whole of Europe.
Jon’s highly stylised dress sense (he is an ex-Fashion Student) and his skill at mixing an eclectic selection of tunes garnered praise all round and throughout the 1990’s he was a regular fixture in DJ Magazine’s top 100 best DJ’s in the world, coming 6th in 1996.
He has released numerous records, including two UK top 30 hits in the mid 90’s on the Perfecto label (‘Passion’ & Give Me Strength’) along with releases in 2004 on the Wall of Sound label under the moniker ‘The Visitor’ (‘Our Lips are Sealed’ & ‘European Love’). He also remixed many artists in the 90’s such as Erasure, Divine, Michel Colombier, Mozaic and more. Jon has also released best-selling and well-received mix compilations on Ministry of Sound, Fantazia, Pimp, Stress and Distinctive records.
In 2012 he released three of his own tracks ‘Oh Yeah’ ‘Guiltless’ & ‘Disconnected’ via the label Planet Acetate. He also remixed the single ‘Never Enough’ by Visage in 2014. In 2015 Jon released ‘Don’t be Scared (of yourself)’ on Kidology London and he released his single ‘Heels’ on Fetch Records on July 8th in 2016 with remixes from Hifi Sean and more.
In 2018 he remixed the Paloma Faith single ‘Til I’m Done’ and ‘A Man Could Get Lost’ for iconic electropop band Soft Cell.
Jon still guests all over Europe playing current and classic sets and has played alongside the cream of the Dj world including Roger Sanchez, Pete Tong, 2ManyDj’s, Jacques Lu Cont, Danny Tenaglia, Sasha, Carl Cox, Andrew Weatherall, Boy George, Sister Bliss and Erol Alkan and was invited in 2017 to DJ with Eats Everything at XOYO in London by the man himself.
Jon’s current sets will be likely to feature tracks from artists and remixers as diverse as Kiwi, Eats Everything, Late Night Tough Guy, The Black Madonna, Todd Terje, Purple Disco Machine and Dimitri From Paris to name a few.
An eclectic mix for the discerning clubber as ever.
Recently Jon has toured Australia, played in Ibiza and Dubai and as well as appearing extensively throughout the UK at events like Creamfields and legendary clubs such as Ministry of Sound.
A few recent highlights included more DJ appearances with Eats Everything, playing at Manchester Pride alongside Ana Matronic from Scissor Sisters and plenty of gigs for Cream and DJing at the 40th Anniversary gig at the O2 in London for Soft Cell.

So lets give Jon a humongous Carlton Club welcome.

In addition, to assist on deck duties will be your usual suspect residents Rob Jones & Neil Craven.
