MAIN ARENA:
* X-PRESS 2:
X-Press 2 first burst onto the international club scene in 1993 with the demented sirens, typewriter-noise percussion and dance floor pyrotechnics of Muzik Express. The three DJs, Ashley Beedle, Rocky and Diesel all from unfashionable suburbs of London, had each played leading roles in the capitals cooler, more influential club scenes.
In April of 2000 X-Press 2 found themselves back together on the road and in the studio. In 2001 they released the mighty AC/DC. The boys were back in town. Into 2002 the singles Muzikizum and Lazy followed before the lads dropped their debut album also titled Muzikizum, the album was critically acclaimed and charted at number 15 in the national charts!
Lazy was a track that perfectly summed up the mood of the nation. Released in April 2002 and charting at number 2 in the national. It became the biggest airplay track of the year and won them the coverted Ivor Nevello award.
* ALEX GAUDINO:
Alex Gaudino started his music biz career in 1993 in Flying Records and UMM.
In 1998 with the support of the famous Italian record company TIME, Alex founded his own label, RISE Records and soon had a string of hit records like The Tamperer and Black Legend (Alex is the only Italian A&R with two # 1’s in the UK sales chart) and Robbie Rivera’s “Bang”, thanks to which he got a nomination as best European A&R at the European Music Awards in London in 2000. He produced two singles in 2003 with Crystal Waters and Ultra Natè. “Destination Unknown” was played by all the key deejays, including Pete Tong and Judge Jules and reached the top of the UK Buzz charts.
But the real gear-change came with “Destination Calabria", an artful combination of Crystal Waters’ vocal with Rune’s Calabria. The track dominated the singles sales charts in UK and all over Europe launching Alex’s career as an international dj. His reputation as one of the most fun Dj’s on the circuit is spreading like wildfire. He knows how to play to the crowd and is getting booked by the finest clubs on the planet. And 2008 looks all set to turn up the heat even more as the new single “Watch Out” bounces into the sales charts worldwide. Alex is touring the coolest clubs around the world from the Soho Rooms in Moscow to Eden in Ibiza, bringing a touch of Italian style and savoir faire to the dance floor.
