Baby J is one of the UK’s hottest producers right now. Having signed for All City in 2005, he then won best producer at the UMAs that year. He has worked with artists such as Brand Nubian, Shabazz the Disciple (Wu Tang Clan), Skinnyman, Dynamite MC, Klashnekoff and Mark Morrison to name but a few! He has released two albums to critical underground success but it is for his remix of Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse’ s ‘Valerie’ that he will be best known!

Mark Ronson was so impressed that he invited Baby J to remix the whole album - the remix package is with the label now awaiting release - and he was also support on Mark Ronson’s tour in Summer 2008. His latest album is released in October. ‘Baby Food’ features the single ‘Lies’ with guests Ashley Walters and Nathan performing on the track. He has also been asked to produce some tracks for Sugababes and Coco too!

Baby J is an accomplished DJ playing hip hop and rare groove often with guest PAs and rappers in his sets! Call for dates.

If rock music were a school, you’d find the likes of Coldplay and Athlete sitting quietly in poetry class, Basement Jaxx playing chess, Daft Punk playing computer games with LCD Soundsystem and Braund Reynolds running riot in the music room…

Braund Reynolds the band exploded onto the music scene in 2006 with the fantastic top 40 single ‘Rocket’ released on Virgin Records. It had already been tipped by Music Week, Mixmag, Thomas Bangalter, Pete Tong… and even Chris Moyles! This followed a spate of remixes for artists such as Prince, Elvis Costello, Frank Popp and Supermal to name a few!

The whirlwind attention from gigs, DJ sets and productions has put Ben Braund and James Reynolds in a quandary – it has suddenly become work! Behind the decks, Braund Reynolds enjoy gigs across the globe playing their eclectic brand of party breaks, mash ups, house and club classics – a further chance for them to get the Braund Reynolds sound to the masses. Take a hint of Krafty Kuts, a dollop of Norman Cook and a sprinkling of Eddy Temple-Morris and you might get close to the experience you have listening to Braund Reynolds on the ones and twos.

Whether it’s the DJ set or the live 12 piece band, Braund Reynolds are a guaranteed winner. Book now to avoid disappointment!

In addition to all this, he ran the brilliant Random Records signing artists like Loose Ends and releasing the final works of the late Lynden David Hall.

Diggz has played just about everywhere spinning the best upfront R&B and hip hop, but it is the classics where he feels most comfortable spinning all manner of tunes from rare groove to 80s soul to electro and old skool hip hop.

Anthony John Culverwell is an ordinary middle-class citizen of the British Isles…by day. But by night-time, he transforms into his alternative persona, the superhuman speed machine DJ SWITCH!!! Erm, actually no he doesn’t. But to say that Switch’s estoric rise to fame is nothing less than dramatic would be very accurate - five times UK DJ champion (an unprecedented feat), three consecutive UK supremacy titles (another unprecedented feat), two back-to-back WORLD battle titles (erm, yeah another one), and all by the tender age of twenty!

The clean-shaven Brummie has been featured on Blue Peter, BBC Breakfast, MTV, Radio 1 and 1Xtra. You may be shocked to know that he’s been going since he was eleven, and has chalked up headline gigs from Bulgaria to China to Denmark to every county in England. And Tony’s support slots read like a who’s who of the musical world, including DJ Yoda, Shy FX, Nero, DJ Kentaro, Jack Beats, The Scratch Perverts, Jazzy Jeff & Public Enemy.

His performances are a combination of mesmerising scratch skills, visceral visuals and stunning track selection - all combining to leave the crowd staring in awe and dancing till they drop. At the same time, if physically possible.

DJ Switch is something very special indeed and WILL rock the party!
