About Us!
It started in 1988 when I teamed up with the Mix Kid (we were
also
known as the Parana Brothers for a while - Doug & Dinsdale), we
used
to do mixing using nothing more sophisticated than a twin tape deck.
We would play a snippet from one tape to the other and then another
from a different bit of music. This would go on until the mix was
completed, the process being known as bouncing
Then in 1998 came Sounds From The South. This started as a solo
project, after moving back home. Later a friend moved in and we were
going to start up together but we ever actually recorded anything
together...all that remains is an album that I recorded on my own
and another tape of remixes that I did myself.
After this nothing musical happened in my life for a number of years
until in 2006 by Deja Vue, my third project. This started off by me
doing cover songs. In fact I produced six albums worth. As these
were never released, they have all been deleted. I then went onto
think about some of my other favourite influences like The Art of
Noise, Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre, and decided I wanted to move
more into the field of playing electro music. The result of this was
the album Retro-Electro. A combination of eight styles of electro
music including dance, techno, DnB and disco. I finished the album
in early August 2007. Around this time I had met up with my old
friend The Mix Kid, and although we had remained friends throughout
the years, had not collaborated since the early days. After playing a
demo of the CD and talking for a while he agreed to join the band.
The Mix Kid (DJ Ears, Steve) composes / produces and will be
doing the groove and drum box programming for the band.
I still do the remixing as DJ GK and I do my own production work
under the name of LHP (Long Hall Productions).
Our next step is to get some more tracks ready for a second album
and to get managed/promoted and signed to a label
