? ? ? ??? ? ROB STOW ? ? ? ??? ?
Rob Stow exchanged his guitar for turntables in 1995. After playing at Analogue City, Eurobeat 2000 @ Turnmills, DNA @ The Sheffield Arches and United Systems' free parties with his fast creative mixing style he attained his first residency for monthly London Techno night, Rampant. Over the next two years at Rampant and then Defcon 1, Rob played alongside the likes of; DJ Rush, Frankie Bones, Daz Saund, Steve Stoll, Terry Mitchell, DJ Misjah, Trevor Rockcliff and the Liberator DJs, giving him a chance to develop his mixing skills and his understanding of the different flavours of Techno music.
In 1997 Rob Stow conceived Gravitation in order to explore his own brand of funky, minimal Techno. Gravitation #1 and #2, produced solely by Rob Stow, ventured into the funky, pure realms of Techno. Gravitation #3 saw Rob Stow teaming up with Jerome Hill (Don’t Recordings) to form Groove Asylum, bringing an Electro/ Freak Beat influence to the label. On Gravitation #4 Jafar, another regular at Rampant and now a rising star in the House scene, made his first appearance on the label with the jackin’ “Gravedigger”.
After Gravitation #4 Rob Stow released tunes on D.A.V.E the Drummer’s (aka Henry Cullen) Hydraulix imprint, Hydraulix 005, co-produced with Jerome Hill and Jafar and Hydraulix 007 and 010 followed. Then as his techniques developed output appeared on; Vice, Dark House Music, Don’t (as Groove Asylum), Uber, Maximum/Minimum, Apex, UTI and Real Sessions.
During this period from 1998 to 2002 Groove Asylum were riffing up the crowds in London with their groovy, freaked-out, scratched-up live sets at various nights in London including: Shtonka, Trancentral, Journey Inside, The Phuture, Defcon 1,Ugly Funk, Free Energy, Antiworld and The We Want You Parties. Rob Stow continues his House projects with Alex Elliot under the guise of Bobby Strobe and Jafar. In February 2002 they won the Lynx white label competition in association with DJ magazine gaining them a limited white label release by Plastic Fantastic and later releasing on Debbie Does Dallas.
Rob Stow, (now managing Trackheads in Kentish Town, London) after four residencies over the last eight years, continues to guest at events in London, Nottingham, Manchester, Scotland, Spain, Serbia, Italy, Poland, Portugal. Predominately known for his Techno but also branches out into Electro, Breakbeat, Click House and performs a rather tasty solo live set with plenty more output forthcoming.
? ? ? ??? ? DJ ROO ? ? ? ??? ?
James Lealand (AKA DJ Roo) has been ripping up the turntables of some of the most well-respected venues in London (and beyond) for over ten years. In 1998 he arrived in the capital from Dorset with a mission: to make a serious dent in the London dance scene. After years spent throwing shapes in front of the DJ box and trying to think where he could fit into it all, the time came to switch sides when he realized it was his love of the music that kept him coming back for more and Lealand started DJing around Brixton, which was the hub of London trance throughout the late nineties.
? ? ? ??? ? ACID STEVE ? ? ? ??? ?
Acid Steve's star is rising star with Dj trips in Europe and as a recording
artist on his own Avinit label. Steve has been a resident for E1S for
several years and is now a resident of Smash Techno. A true acid techno
trooper his sets are "a best of" acid techno set at a blistering pace.
? ??? ? ? ??? ? DJBIRINIGHT ? ??? ? ? ??? ? ? ??? ?
BIRI AKA DJBIRINIGHT is a natural born musician from Portugal with a gift for making noise, and being social! After a lifetime playing various instruments, he discovered electronic music in May 1996, and raved most of the weekends away in Portugal, as well as making outdoor parties(in the process he meet Spiral Tribe in Portugal plus others each one he regrets losing contact at the time for life reasons). He then decided to go to London, and slowly got involved in the UK dance scene. Its now 16 years that he has toiled behind the decks as a DJ, and has recently started to have fun, producing a few tracks.
