SEAMUS HAJI
Seamus’ recent projects have had him continuing to work with some of the biggest artists in pop including remixes of the No.1 smash ‘Umbrella’ by Rihanna, Just Jack, Roisin Murphy,Moby and current Indie dance favourites The Ting Tings.
Big Love is his beloved record label run buy himself and his long time partner and wife Janet Bell (herself a seasoned music industry big wig and previous label boss, who played a significant part in the set up of Defected Records). Together they make a formidable team. They do not feel the pressure to put out the next big record but instead describe the label as ‘low pressure and organic’. They strive to sign and put out tracks that they love, avoiding obvious fashions in music:
“We like to put music out that we love; we are not band wagon jumpers. Over the years we have evolved and the label is based around what I like to play as a DJ. It’s basically underground tracks that grow at club level and if we’re lucky some will cross over”.
Big Love's catalogue has grown to such an extent that they are now ready to bring us their debut compilation mixed by Seamus himself. As you would expect it is packed with some of Big Love’s principle upfront tunes as well as exclusives such as the new Haji & Emanuel single ‘The Pressure’ and the forthcoming Bob Sinclar & Axwell’s huge ‘What A Wonderful World’.
On the remix front we have Seamus monstrous remix of The Ting Tings – ‘Shut Up and Let Me Go’ and Moby – ‘I’d Love to Move In here’, as well as fresh 2008 remixes of the classic ATFC ‘Bad Habit’ and Shakedown’s ‘At Night’. Commenting on the forthcoming compilation Seamus said “This mix has been done live – not on Ableton. I planned what I wanted to do and did it as I thought that it would have much more of an energy about it”.
This will surely be a compilation with massive crossover appeal and is a true reflection of the Big Love label sound and a snapshot of a typical Seamus Haji DJ Set and shows the true spirit of Big Love.
