John O'callaghan Podcast

New IDs fresh from the studio, originals, remixes, collabs, and plenty of Subculture label material. Another momentous summer edition of Lumo! Great to see so many friends and trance family as always. Hope you had as good a time as I did. Lumo, thank you. ❤️

What a night in Belfast, just listen to the crowd - this will tell you why it's one of the best cities in the world to play in! Cheers to Notorious and Goodgreef for a top night x

Lots of IDs in this set. Hope you enjoy. This was a brilliant night of trance in Dublin, where the crowd came out despite the weather - thank you for that! go check out Modea's set too: https://soundcloud.com/modeadj/mode-live-from-block-dublin-07

The idea behind this set was a mix of current trance vs. Dreamstate standout tracks from my sets there going back 10 years. On a weekend where there is nothing but trance from around the globe, it was a pleasure to be part of it. "I was there" for the Tiesto return. What a journey we have been on the last 10 years. See you at San Francisco May 7th @ Dreamstate!

John O’Callaghan continues his impressive run in 2025 with ‘Fragmentos’ - his seventh single of the year, and perhaps his most sun-drenched yet. First debuted as an ID during his Luminosity set, the track is built around warm airy melodies, and driving seaside energy. ‘Fragmentos’ captures a feeling of light, movement, and memory. With a live piano ending by Paul Skelton, this is a blissful Summer outro. https://subculture.lnk.to/Fragmentos

https://subculture.lnk.to/NeverLeaveYourSide The album that never was: 1. Reflections 2. Memphis 3. Crystal Caverns 4. Lost in Sound 5. Lunar Divide 6. Never Leave Your Side 7. -- 8. -- 9. -- 10. -- 11. -- 12. --

Lunar Divide is the latest in a powerful run of 2025 releases from John O’Callaghan, following Reflections, Lost in Sound, Crystal Caverns, Memphis, and the Pebble Beach (John Askew Remix). With this track, JOC moves fully into orbit. Crafted alongside studio companion Paul Skelton, Lunar Divide is built around a celestial melody and a rare, hypnotic sequence that stays with you. It’s elevating, otherworldly, and unmistakably John O’Callaghan, a track that doesn’t just rise, it ascends.

The first of at least ten tracks this year. One a month. All trance. No distractions. No detours. One track at a time. One step forward each month. Let’s see where the road leads. An album by the end of 2025?

I played a kind of 'ode to the past' of the Joint Ops stuff. (plus 1 classic tech-er) Thanks to all who went to the Void Stage for the set! When Mauro appeared I got very nervous :) This could be the last Joint Ops set for a while, focusing on trance for 2025!

Hope you enjoy my set from this years electric Luminosity night at ADE Amsterdam! There is a few hot ID's in there :) listen on youtube: https://youtu.be/LwHaI24H6II

It's no surprise why people from all around the world gather each year for this event. Everybody looks forward to it! Including the DJs, as the crowd and online feedback is always so warm. It's a memorable party with trance friends and a celebration of trance music, and I'm already looking forward to next year!

We are very thankful for cities like Melbourne in this scene. A city that gives energy and love every time we go there - truly grateful for it to be our home for Subculture in Australia! We always feel so welcome! Thank you Melbourne for being the best!! x
