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 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 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 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.
