Mark James Dj Charts Events  
     
 

Mark James started djing late 1995 after borrowing his friends turntables due to the influence of Pete Tong's Essential Mix on Radio 1, early Essential Mix compilations and Ministry Of Sound compilations making him what to be a dj.

His main influence was dj's such as Judge Jules, CJ Mackintosh, David Seaman and Derrik Carter. By 1997 his interests started to drift when he started to notice the production work of producers like BT, Sasha, Paul Oakenfold and Paul Van Dyk. By this time Mark James was getting into the whole Northern Exposure series where mixing breaks and progressive house was taking things forward straight into the newly forming nu skool breaks scene.

Mark James started to concentrate on the nu skool breaks sound with such influences as BT, Hybrid, Adam Freeland which soon started getting him attention around Birmingham. Mix fm first caught on of his unique blend of breaks/house and aired a guest mix in November 2000 on Paul Martin's Sunday showcase which later resulted in a weekly residency from December 2000 onwards.

2001 saw Mark James start a residency at a night called Stealth, The Canel Club, Wolverhampton, playing breaks in the back room with local breaks dj Iytal. This move started to get him noticed more and more, he later started playing regularly at Circo, Birmingham on Thursday nights playing a blend of deep house/tech house and breakbeat.

2002 was a quite year due to Mix fm not been on air and the closure of The Canal Club, but 2003 is upon him now with his weekly residency on Mix fm, Sundays 9pm - 11pm, bi-monthly guest appearance at Homecooking, Quo Vardis and the very successful Mix 106.4 fm : LIVE events held @ decades music bar.

Dj Semtex Dj Charts Events  
     
 

Dj Semtex first started playing intelligent drum & bass/old skool hardcore at house parties in the early nineties, thing's never really took of with the path that Dj Semtex had chosen so his influences started to drift off into speed garage and hard house.

After a year long break from djing, Dj Semtex started to venture into production side of the music business and promotions. Soon enough he couldn't wait to get back behind the turntables, which later saw him getting bookings at Underground Central @ The Gallery, Blueprint Bar, free parties and some illegal raves.

The bookings continued to keep Dj Semtex busy but he decided to concentrate more on the production side of things, working with Dj's and producers within the drum & bass scene more and more rather than djing.

Dj Semtex got back into djing towards late 2002, early April 2003 looked promising with guest appearances on Mix fm which later resulted in a weekly residency Fridays, 9pm - 11pm playing Drum & Bass. Keep checking back for forthcoming events where you can see Dj Semtex playing the very best and up front drum & bass.

Simon Lush Dj Charts Events  
     
 

Simon Lush first realised, at the age of nine that he had a talent for spinning the wheels of steel. At the age of sixteen he made his first big break on the Dj scene in Birmingham when he performed in the final of the Choice Fm (now Galaxy Fm) Dj competition entitled 'Sticky Fingers' which was held at the Steering wheel night club in China Town.

1997 saw Simon Lush, then known as Simon Steele jet of to Mallorca for the summer to apply his trade on the largest of the Balearic Islands.

Upon the return he gain his first residency at The Venue, home to Crunch & Wobble. Where he played regularly on Thursday nights playing house and trance to a welcoming crowd of 300 plus.

Several years later saw the decrease in the amount of bookings Simon was getting, due to the amount of Birmingham clubs turning their music tastes towards the funkier side of house.

After a few years absence, Simon Steele, now Simon Lush is back! and is now on Birmingham's number one underground dance music station. Although his preferred style of music is House/Progressive House, Simon chooses to bring back his love of Trance and bang's it out on Mix 106.4 fm weekly.

Tommy Amoruso Dj Charts Events  
     
 

Tommy Amoruso has been djing since he was fifteen years of age. Tommy became interested in djing when he started buying tape packs of the old Helter Skelter events. After listening to Hardcore for a few years he decided to buy his first set of turntables, some Belt Drive Soundlabs.

After fumbling around on these for a year or so, he started playing the pumping House/Speed Garage sound that later developed into the Hard House scene today.

A few years later Tommy Amoruso started playing at regular nights within Birmingham, namely Och, Candy and Ultimate Freedom held @ The Steering Wheel and the Gallery Bar. Tommy soon decided to put his interest of djing on hold and go to University.

Whilst at University, he started working for Godskitchen and Sundissential. His music influence started to change and his started taking an interest in Hard House/Hard Trance. It is Tommy's Diverse playing style, which crosses areas of Trance, Techno and Hard House which has led him playing warm up sets at nights such as Wallop, backroom funk@ Sundissential and Hard As Nails House @ Subway City and Decades Music Bar.

Tommy Amoruso has also started producing a number of records and remixes, a record on Short Circuit Records and a collaboration with a well known Dj is in the pipeline.

Tommy is very excited at the prospect of being able to play his unique brand of Hard House across Birmingham on Mix 106.4 fm. From brand new up front promos, classics and even his own productions, Thursday night's are well worth tuning in for.
