TALL
PAUL | SATURDAY APRIL 21
Tall Paul began his Dj'ing career in
1987 playing office parties at his Dad's nightclub Turnmills. Soon
after, he had his own pirate radio show, Touchdown FM, and quickly
managed to secure a slot on the then popular Sunrise FM. In 1992,
he released his first production, "Love Rush," and later
would go on to produce a long list of successful records: "Rock
Da House" with Red Jerry, "Deeper" and "Train
of Thought" as Escrima, and "Let Me Show You" as Camisra.
By the late '90s, Paul continually ranked among the top DJs, won
many awards including the much coveted Muzik DJ of the year and appeared
in countless U.K. magazines, hosted a Saturday night radio show on
Kiss FM, signed a record deal with Ministry of Sound, and found himself
traveling around the world. His album deal with Ministry of Sound
resulted in a series of mix CDs, including multiple volumes of the
Dance Nation series as well as the inaugural release in the Headliners
series.

LAWN
CHAIR GENERALS |
SATURDAY APRIL 21
Seattle duo Peter Christianson and
Carlos Mendoza, a.k.a. LawnChair Generals
have been shaping the future of House music out of their self-made
studios since 2001. Along with their talent, both behind the decks
and in the studio, and a little luck thrown in for good measure,
LCG have simultaneously blazed their way into the crates, mix compilations,
and ranks of the world's top House DJs. LCG kicked off a promising
2005 with their hugely anticipated 5th release, “You Got To / Stop
Frontin’” on the Belgian imprint Aroma, licensed to DJ Sneaks upcoming
OM Records Mix CD before its release. The talent of this duo is
undeniable, both as producers, remixers and DJs. They have been
making dance floor gold of other artists' work for almost as long
as they have been creating their own. After dropping torrential
re-workings of tracks like DJ Hal's 'Don't Give It Up', Swirl People
and DJ Heather's 'We Used To Party' and Martin Venetjoki’s “Really
Don’t Stop”, LCG remixes are now on back-order. From as close to
home as Flammable @ Rebar in Seattle to as far away as the clubs
of Australia and Europe, LCGs' rambunctious two-jock DJ sets have
become a required experience for House-heads around the world.
The LCG blend is a unique fusion of West coast and classic Chicago-style
House with touches of electro, soul, and freestyle-era pop flavor.
Their performances further cement the strong impression left by
the music they create. And wherever the production path may take
LCG, they’re likely to embrace respect without forgetting their
DJ roots. As Carlos puts it, "Peter and I
are DJs first. We make music we want to play." |

cuts, effortless scratching, and distinctive selection, Mat developed his skills
