Paul Langley - Bio
I started Djing in 1985 playing Hip-Hop / Soul and mixed my way into the DMC mixing championships in 88. I joined a Hip-Hop group called “Sylk Kut” in 88 and played a mini UK tour with De La Soul / Sugar Bear. In late 88 I started buying House and moved into the new Acid House scene. I finally got into Techno in 93 after going to a “LOST” party, this was a major turning point for me musically.

I co-ran a weekly club night in Leicester square, London in 94 called “Iconelastic” also in this year I had a weekly radio show on London’s infamous “Chillin FM 102.9. I have also guested on various other radio show’s inc www.netmix.com & www.dj-sets.com .


In 1997 I hooked up with DJ Rush after he heard a mix tape I gave him and then Rush got myself booked to play Berlin’s Love Parade and various other gigs in Germany that year. 1997 was also the year I invested in buying my first pieces of studio equipment. By 1998 I had released my first couple EP’s one on Rush’s Kne’Deep and the other on Off the Wall label. Following on from these releases I also released on Justin Berkovi’s Predicaments label as a split EP with Rush and other labels such as High Octane / 4 X 4 / Tonewrecker / Audio Textures / Pro-Jex / Dark House Music / Morpheus / Thrill. I recently worked on a project with Jamie Bissmire (Space djz / Bandulu) for his new 50HZ label which came out August 2004 and we’re currently working on another EP for release this spring.

I started my Jackstar label in 2001 because I thought with that the loss of UC and Jasper Stone records there was a need for a new edge to that style of Chicago hard funk music. As a result I got in touch with DJ Bam Bam and we put together the first release. The label in on it’s 10th release and have the next 4 scheduled for 2005 and so far people seem to be into the music so I’m gonna keep that baby going.

I have been kept busy with my djing through Rush’s Berlin based booking agency although now I am currently with a few agencies giving me more scope and have been playing all over Europe / Japan and Brazil which was amazing. This year I’m doing another Jackstar mini tour in Europe as the last one with Urban / DJ MH was such a success. This year I have DJ Bam Bam / Switchblade / Sandy Warez / Jamie Bissmire on the roster for gigs in Germany / Slovenia / Belgium / Poland & UK.

DJ Hiro - Bio
started djing in the late 80's playing House in Osaka & Tokyo then moved into playing Ghetto booty in the mid 90's. In 96 Hiro moved to London where his musical taste expanded into electro & disco-funk where his talent was picked up by "Mother Bar" in trendy Old Street, London where Hiro has been the resident for the last 4 years.

His "anything goes" attitude to music has seen him play in Montreal, Canada & Stockholm, Sweden and this year also Denmark. Hiro's personality shines through in his music and when Hiro is about everyone will party . . . .
