Outspoken 'House Gangster' DJ Sneak was part of the second wave of Chicago house DJs alongside Derrick Carter, Green Velvet and Paul Johnson.

With a host of monikers and diverse productions to his name, DJ Pierre has driven the development of dance and is still at the forefront...

Phuture, Pfantasia, Phantasy Club, Photon Inc, Audio Clash, Darkman, Doomsday, P-Ditty, The Don… all past aliases for Nathaniel Pierre Jones, better known as DJ Pierre, the man credited with kickstarting a movement in 1987 with ‘Acid Tracks'.

But, since then, Pierre has continued to chart one of the most idiosyncratic paths in house music, undyingly committed to developing new sonic mutants to send crowds bananas on his punishing schedule of globe-trotting DJ gigs.

Every day is a day in the studio for John, where he’ll be doing what he does in a superlative fashion, producing and remixing the kind of lustrous tech house, trance-tinged music he’s known for, and in recent years has been nominated for – that’ll be a US Grammy and a BRIT award.

London producer Swindle draws on assorted jazz, hip-hop, funk and dubstep influences in his great new album 'Long Live The Jazz'.

“I know what you mean, like on ‘Forest Funk’. I played that guitar! I just do what feels right.
