Meet DJ JC Simon

DJ JC Simon

JC Simon has been a pivotal figure in the EDM/Dance scene for over 25 years, resulting in a combined career audience of approx 5.1 million listeners.  Beginning on a pair of Sam’s Club KLH speakers and Marantz amp in 1993, JC has contributed to the worldwide advancement of the EDM/Dance formats for over 20 years.

Originally hailing from his hometown heart of Youngstown, Ohio, JC got his start in broadcasting under the wings of PD Tom Pappas at one of the oldest broadcast CHR stations in the US, the legendary WHOT HOT 101 in 1999. While part-timing on weekends, he hosted “The Saturday Night Dance Party”, which was #2 rated M/F age 18-34, Market 42 at that time.

Moving over to PioneerPRO DJ gear in 2003, landed him a slot at satellite radio in weekend rotation from 2005-2008 on Sirius 36 The Beat’s "ADRENALIN" mixshow.

In 2005 while honing his beat-mix skills in various regional LGBTQ2+ venues, he became a founding owner of Utopia Video Nightclub, where he designed the entire sound, lighting and 28 video screen DVJ-X1 / Roland produced entertainment system. Utopia became the staple of the region and attracted the likes of Sierra Seville, Danielle Vasquez, Samantha Styles while hosting local and regional drag pageants.

In 2007 he relocated to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada continuing to pursue his passion for music with local LGBTQ2+ venue bookings across North America and abroad. JC has performed from Whistler Winter Pride to the original HUMP! Wednesday at Helsinki, to The LOOKOUT Bar to the former Centretown Pub, all three in Ottawa. In 2016, JC became a co-founder of Snow Pride of Canada, a not-for profit winter pride event, which hosted 5 winters of LGBTQ2+ oriented ski weekends at Mont-Ste Marie, QC.

Drawing early inspiration from the likes of Tiësto, Kaskade, Steve Aoki, and Armin van Buuren, JC's progressive electronic style energizes dance floors with powerful big house anthems and melodic after-hours house tracks, capturing every spectrum of emotion. A visible supporter of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, JC performs at a variety of events across North America, from pride celebrations to circuit parties to music festivals and the Provincetown community. Recently, he has taken on promoter duties, aiming to produce events that showcase a diverse and unique range of talents.

JC also produces a biweekly podcast, “ARCADIA,” where he shares his deep passion for EDM by featuring and promoting fellow DJs and artists.
