Wayne Fountain (UK/Renaissance)
12 years on he has come a long way since then. Credited for his "Ahead of the pack " approach by leading dance magazine Muzik, Wayne certainly knows how to work the floor
Starting back in 1990 Wayne was transfixed by the art of dj'ing, he soon started to throw his own nights, notably the Perfection parties, singled out for its of the wall locations and strong underground vibe. This then led onto a residency at Club Kafe Da where Wayne really began to cut his teeth as a dj.
Fountains mix is so far ahead of the pack that it had us dreaming of dark, sweaty dancefloors in minutes. Fountain is undoubtedly one to watch" Muzik magazines Ralph Moore
Waynes mix is one of dark, moody and deep throbbing house. This is underground stuff that has been mixed together in an intelligent way" IDJ magazine
These winnings saw his popularity and gigs rocket. Invited to join the Muzik magazine tour and other tours including dates for Renaissance where he was the warm up Dj for Sander Kleinenberg. After playing dates up and down the country Wayne was then invited to do a series of guest mixes for Galaxy FM, he then signed to a European booking & Promotions agency (OFU) whose clients included Dj's such as Steve Lawler, John Digweed and Danny Howells to name but a few and also landed residencies at Soulshaker and a 2000 capacity purpose built club where he he hosted the White room on a weekly basis.
