A true Bristol legend, John Stapleton has been shaping dancefloors for over three decades. From mod nights in the ’80s to acid jazz, breakbeat, and Afrobeat, his sets are a deep dive into global grooves and rare gems. Founder of the iconic Wanted Records and compiler of the cult Dope on Plastic series, he now co-hosts La Bomba—a vinyl-only club night at The Jam Jar in Bristol—where he and Boom Operator spin explosive blends of cumbia, Afrobeat, Latin soul, and more. Expect a masterclass in crate-digging and dancefloor alchemy.
