Bio

(2026)

John Huck is a versatile DJ who plays from the heart. His DJ philosophy can be summed up as, put another record on and see what happens.

Over many years, he's cultivated a set of complementary DJ styles, including disco, house, techno (as Wijit), minimal, ambient, experimental, and rare groove. Based in Edmonton, he's also a librarian, a choral singer who has dabbled in opera, and a sometime radio host.

Sunshine After Dark (2019-2025) was a radio show that chronicled the month-by-month development of disco between 1974 and 1980. Created for CJSR in Edmonton, it was also broadcast on CKXU (Lethbridge) and CHMA (Sackville). All 200+ episodes are available online.

Dig It! Thursdays (2013-2016) was a weekly rare groove night at the Black Dog Freehouse co-created with Yuri Wuensch and Ian Rae (Raebot). Clocks & Clouds (2003-2007) was a Sunday night ambient and experimental techno show on CJSR co-hosted with Chris Waterton (Bolide). 

Over the years, he's DJed for many local promoters and events, including Muscle Memory, Dead Vinyl Society, Taste of Edmonton, Disco in the Park, Sweat YEG, Fruit Loop, Window Kids, Connect, Refuge, and Zion Noiz Festival; and at various venues, including Mimi, the Faculty, the Grindstone, 9910, the Common, Transient, Level 2, Y Afterhours, the Black Dog, and, going way back, Studio E.

These days, you can catch him playing vinyl sets every now and then at Mimi bar on Jasper Avenue.
