Andy Daniell started DJ-ing at 16 as a mobile DJ but he soon started playing House music at nights in and around Southend and working in a record shop called Metro records run by “Cosmic” who was fairly well connected in the industry. Cosmic introduced Andy to Simon Dunmore from Defected and Andy was soon doing the warm up for Defected at “Funk You” nights in Southend and helping promote Defected’s releases in the local area. An opportunity to do work experience for Defected came up and the then 19yr old Andy was offered the dream job of being their resident DJ for the summer season in Ibiza; playing alongside the likes of Sandy Rivera, Dimitri from Paris and Martin Solveig. He played a very successful season for Defected at El Divino in Ibiza Town before returning to the UK as the A&R Assistant for Defected. He still DJ’s regularly and recent sets have included a trip to Poland DJ-ing with WaWa. Andy is also a successful producer and his first release (a minimal Tech House tune) made it on to Lee Burridge's 24:7 Global Underground album. The next; a collaboration with Cosmic; was well received by The Dreem Teem on Radio One and he is currently working on a number of projects when he has time, including a number of underground remixes and re-edits for fellow DJ’s. |

D'zine. A man supportive and by his own admission very defensive of Drum & Bass as a sound and a scene. His early years were spent raving at illegal events such as Sunrise, Energy & Biology. He has now been DJ-ing for over 15 years and his first flyer of real interest was a residency at Batchwood with guests on rotation including Grooverider & Bukem. Most of the early 90's were spent perfecting his DJ skills playing on local pirate stations and at local clubs and bars combined with clubbing and raving all over the UK. He then went onto promote his own nights in his home town of St.Albans with guests including Swan-e & Tayla. During the late 90's he managed his local record shop to feed his obsession with collecting vinyl and continued to push and promote his genre of choice. He became part of Future Thinkin events where he is still a resident and now works at SRD distribution handling nearly all the major Drum & Bass sales accounts throughout the UK Clubs he's played at over the years have included Labyrynth, Paradise Club, Haven Stables, Leisure Lounge, The Rex, Scala, Ministry of Sound, Rhythm Station, Bagleys, Hastings Pier, The Colosseum and The Rhythm Factory. He has also DJ-ed for One Nation, Best of British and Telepathy. After spending over half his life hunting for and collecting vinyl to the point of obsession in his case "music is most definitely life"........... |

Richie is our resident Dave Doubledecks. He grew up on 80's Soul and early HipHop but his parents' taste in 60's and 70's classics had a lasting impression and he is now a true party DJ with a very diverse (and often cheesy) record collection - you request it and he'll play it. A veteran of the wedding circuit he takes all the jobs no-one else can (or will!) do and is available for birthdays, weddings and barmitzfa's the whole year round - all occasions and tastes can be catered for. Despite what you might think, Richie has great taste in music and is still seriously into dance music, especially House, HipHop and Drum and Bass so his record collection still contains plenty of credible tunes for the more discerning among us. He has DJ-ed in St.Albans Town Hall, The Adelaide and a multitude of private venues all over the country. |

Barney's heart lies with House but he strongly believes that you can't be a good DJ without respecting all genres of music. He started DJ-ing around 10yrs ago and soon found work in a few bars (and boat parties!) in St.Albans and London, playing mostly Chunky House and Techno. A residency at Batchwood Hall soon followed, playing UK Garage which was far from being his first choice of music but he stuck with it none the less to pay the bills and buy more music of his own choosing! When he eventually grew tired of the Garage scene, Barney left Batchwood, and after a short break started to DJ in the Peahen, where he successfully transformed the venue from a Garage night to an accessible house/RnB/chart/disco event This soon caught the attention of Batchwood Hall's manager and he was persuaded to return as one of the main residents, initially alongside Jon Jules and now alongside Mark Jameson (aka “Jaymo”), who he respects as probably the finest commercial club DJ he has worked with. You will still find them rocking the main room at Batchwood Hall every Thursday and Saturday, after nearly 5yrs with what has become a very successful mix of House, R&B and Club Classics - no small achievement when you consider the diversity of the demanding (and occasionally frustrating!) crowd. Barney's work at Batchwood has included some incredibly successful Bank Holiday parties as well as many themed nights working with promoters and DJ's including Stonebridge and Rob Wilder (HedKandi), Miss Moneypenny’s, Ministry of Sound, Marshall Jefferson, Brandon Block, Alex P, Jeremy Healy, EZ, Spoony & the Dreem Team, Dee Kline, Heart fm’s Club Classics tour and the Kisstory tours. He is a lawyer by day and his other DJ work has included the Ministry of Sound, The Watersplash, Greenwich & Cambridge Universities and the Cambridge Dance Festival. |

Stuart Bozier first got into DJ-ing as a youthful clubber going to the Wag club in Wardour St, London around 1988. Sets from the likes of CJ Makintosh, Dave Dorrell and Tim Simenon were a real inspiration to him so he started buying vinyl – anything from James Brown to A Man Called Adam. His first gigs were at the legendary Spirit parties thrown by his mates and fellow DJ’s Kyle Gwillim and Darin Rogers. In those days his style was a little harder and Jungle and Techno were the order of the day. Playing bars in and around St.Albans gave him a good local following that he was able to take to gigs in London at Club10, Velvet and Bagleys. By this time his sets had moved towards the US House style and he says: “artists such as Masters at Work and Roger Sanchez just blew my mind when I heard them play out and their early production work was so fresh and inspiring”. Nowadays his sets are still on the house tip but if a track is good enough he’s not afraid to play it……. |

Johnny Gleeson started DJ’ing in the late eighties and played a crucial part in the establishment of some of Sydney 's most successful clubs in the early nineties such as Byblos , Riva and the infamous Blackmarket, where he played alongside DJ's such as Carl Cox, Sasha and Jeremy Healy. This was just the beginning. The nineties saw him create and develop a new sound, embracing house, and firmly put him at the forefront of Australian house DJs. His reputation for long, memorable sets infused with his ability to consistently lift crowds with his trademark cutting edge style, and unique talent for using tools and re-edits produced exclusively for his sets, landed him residencies at some of Sydney 's longest running and internationally renowned venues including HOME, TANK, YU, Sugareef and Q bar. Internationally, “Fuck me I’m Famous” , “Underwater”, and “Mobile Home” where over 8000 people present all enjoyed his music. He has also shared the stage at larger events with artists such as Kylie Minogue (Venus/6000 people), Grinspoon, Roger Sanchez, Basement Jaxx (Mobile Home), Derrick May, Bob Sinclair, Alison Limerick, and was applauded for his work at a party in Sydney for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Johnny Gleeson 's Releases with Carl Kennedy “Banta Boom”(Toolroom Records U.K) , “Funky Freeks” (Effin Records U.S.A), “Right Before my eyes” were all featured on Pete Tong’s ESSENTIAL SELECTION. In 2005 Johnny was resident at the legendary “PACHA” (Ibiza) for the summer season and returned to Sydney in September after a short tour for Angels of Love in Italy.

Roo has been DJing for over 8 years now, guesting at clubs such as Pacha, Ministry Of Sound, The Cross, Renaissance, Dusted, Eden (Ibiza), Amnesia (Ibiza), Godskitchen, Hidden, Miss Moneypenny’s, Rise (Cyprus) and Blend to name but a few. With future bookings coming in thick and fast already including dates in Poland and a seven hour set for Renaissance @ the Cross, 2005 looks set to be busier than ever for Roo.
His sound; for want of a better description is simply good old fashioned House music! Basically if it’s got soul and funk then it’s in the box, whether it be vocal, tribal, soulful, latin or classics, the main aim for Roo is to lift the crowd as high as they can go; his down to earth attitude and genuine love of the music shines through in every set he plays.
Production wise Roo has put out 8 tracks under the Hustle Bros/Groove Hustlers alias with partners in crime Ben Logan and Gareth Cox. This year will see Roo concentrating more on solo projects and collaborations with other DJ’s including a remix for C2 Records....so watch this space! |
