Jonty skrufff biography samples

British-born, Berlin-based DJ/producer and writer Jonty Skrufff has passed away. 

The news was shared by his partner and fellow Berlin DJ Fidelity Kastrow in a Facebook post on Jonty’s page. “Jonty had been battling cancer but kept his diagnosis confidential until days before his death, so nobody would treat him differently and to be able to continue to live the life he so loved,” her post begins.

A well-known and much-loved industry figure, Jonty (real name Jonathan Adderley) started out in the industry in the mid-90s as a dance music journalist. He spearheaded a campaign (Thirst Aid), backed by Muzik magazine, for UK clubs to provide free drinking water for all punters — an important step at a time when a few clubbers were dying from ecstasy-related overheating at events. Within 12 months, all British clubs were required to provide free and unrestricted access to cold drinking water by law, a policy that remains in place in the UK today.
