Please welcome to the stage, Douglas Granby aka The DJ Producer.

If you've been ANYWHERE near the dirty end of techno in the past 20 years, you may know the name.
If you've been anywhere near a UK or European festival in the last 10 years, its more than likely you know the name.
BUT - If you've had any dealing with the underground hardcore techno scene since its conception, then you DEFINITLY know the name.

REWIND.

Keeping it simple, The DJ Producer 1st "came into relevance" September 11th 1992.
At the age of 18, Douglas was already Resident for the south west of England "Universe" organization, playing the sped up, rave infused, breakbeat bangers of the time. But on this night they were to import a European hard techno DJ, something rarely seen at the time in UK events. Douglas saw this as an opportunity to play a more techno orientated set that night, something he had never done before, and as resident felt obliged just to "make the German guy feel comfortable". A move, that if the public disliked, Douglas may never have gone down that path again.........as it turns out, it was that set that put The DJ Producer on the map, and from that day forward proclaimed himself "a hardcore techno DJ (which at the time you could count the amount in UK on one hand). That proclamation in 2013 remains. And so do the breakbeats ;)

PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE FUCKING AIR.

Douglas has been in the game long enough & strong enough to have played pretty much EVERY relevant underground organisation there is to play for. Over 20 years in over 20 countries. Damn straight. But Douglas's motivation is beyond purely clocking miles, or scratching notches on bedposts.
His passion for music stems way, way back, and his hunt for the elusive & exclusive cuts made him what he is, couple this with a devastating mixing technique that rivals most computers & his over keen spidey sense to adapt to the dance floors demands, and you have one of the most enthralling jocks ever to emerge from the UK's murky underground depths........The music may be filthy, but Douglas understands its every nuance intimately, and his performances demonstrate this....control freakery within chaos --- and no sync button in sight :)

Countries played include - UK & Ireland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Czech republic, Poland, Russia, Canada, U.S & Australia.

Highlighted gigs through time include - Lowlands Festival NL, Glastonbury Festival GB, Glade Festival GB, Boomtown Festival GB, Night of Awesome Power GB, Techno Parade FR, Astropolis Festival FR, Pulsamix Jazz festival FR, Kinetic Festival CANADA Thunderdome NL, Mysteryland NL, Breakcore Gives Me Wood BE, Berghain DE, Defqon1 NL, Nightmare NL, Dominator NL, QORE 3.0 - Q-dance 2012 NL.

WHEN THE DJ - BECAME "PRODUCER"

Always unintended, as Douglas always said "DJ’s who make music is just a cliché".....and for a long time it was.....but in 1994 Douglas met with the owner of the legendary EDGE records label, Gordon Matthewman, whilst DJing, a just proposed maybe he come to the studio in London & try at a couple of tracks. Douglas jumped at the chance.....they soon after reconvened, knocked out 2 tracks in 4 days, with Douglas's ideas on notepads & Gordon at the helm....the end result.. Edge Records #13..... 13 unlucky only for some it would seem.

After this encounter, and the buzz of receiving the final finished 12"", Douglas was well & truly hooked...& the DJ-PRODUCER was born.......again.

PRODUCER AS PRODUCER

Even from his very first production attempts, it was a combination of kick drums & breakbeats. after buying basic home studio equipment in 95 he arranged & produced 4 tracks for the
Scottish "Storm Breaks" label, and self produced "The nightmare on b-kore street" (an early acronym for breakcore - hence referring to the breakbeat & kick drum combination), so from day one, once he had learnt his equipment, he already understood how he wanted to forge his musical identity.

As the DJ, he was receiving all flavours of hardcore techno on wax from all corners of the planet, and was particularly drawn to the high velocity kicks of early industrial French hardcore, and the dirty half-speed breakbeats of Australian industrial hardcore, so started messing with elements from both styles in the studio.

Around this same time period, whilst DJing at a large Helter skelter event he was approached by a guy, who armed with a white label "dared" him to play it there & then.
That someone would turn out to be Julian Cobb - owner of Deathchant records......and about 1 year later those tracks would become Douglas's 1st Deathchant release.

Since those early, heady days, Douglas has racked up an impressive back catalogue on a myriad of labels, featuring his historically revered Deathchant releases, collab albums with Hellfish on the mighty Planet Mu, His doomsday Mechaniks album on Bloc 46, releases on The Third Movement, Killing sheep, Industrial strength, Neurotoxic, Psychic Genocide, and all aside from A&Ring & managing the Rebelscum Label since 1999, which has nurtured both his experimental side as an artist & in recent years become the springboard for a whole host of new artists who are only just now becoming big deals in there own right. . . .

LA FELICIDAD NO ES UN SENTIMIENTO, ES UNA DECISIÓN..#

Sensate Focus is a project by Sheffield-based artist and music producer Nigel Jacob, responding to the musical structures, techniques, vocabularies and sounds present in a collection of house musics produced in North America around 1992-1994.
Through a series of records (released in conjunction with Editions Mego) and “live” presentations, Sensate Focus addresses the division of music into repeatable patterns of observable and fixed duration; the placement of percussive events at specific points within patterns to demarcate distinct levels of temporal division; the organisation and repetition of patterns to form larger “arrangements”; and, strategies by which layers of instrumentation are introduced and removed.
For Jacob this exercise necessarily implies a response to the technological structures, techniques and vocabularies present in equipment within which they are constituted, and their functionality within specific social contexts.

I studied at Phil Winston's Theatreworks in musical theatre, ballet, tap, jazz, modern, contemporary, street dance, commercial dance, private singing tuition and acting coaching. I have loved working abroad and in the UK on many contracts over the last 6 years including cruise ships, music videos, hotels, events and clubs and hope to continue in this line of work, meeting new people and learning new skills for as long as I can. I enjoy choreographing and am very passionate about performing always acting in a professional manor.

My love for music started long ago peeping into parties by others older than me. Started with love for soul then moved up to the UK house scene in the late 80’s. Clubs like the Lime Light, Browns, Café D Paris and the Pig was where it was all happening. I think this is where House music took over the London club scene. I remember Judge Jules on the decks in a corner of the dance floor at the Pig in Gray’s Inn Road. He was young and I was younger. Dancing away but carefully watching his moves. This is where it all started for me to be a DJ from playing cassettes. Saw Carl Cox playing in a Church in Westbourne Park and he was mixing on three decks. OMG!

I started collecting Vinyl early 90’s and saved up some cash to buy some belt driven decks and a mixer. It was more of balancing the records on the decks act in those days. I got picked up by a promoter called Kilroy who ran Global Explosion. My first ever play out was at Club 414 with MC Navigator and I also got radio exposure.

Mid 90’s I moved to NYC. It is there that I got hooked on to the sounds of underground House music. My weekend clubbing was to the diverse sounds of ‘Little’ Louie Vega, Junior Vasquez, Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Frankie Knuckles and NY’s Hot 97. The New York House camp was heavy. The clubs were humongous playing Tribal, Latin, Deep, Techno, Electro and the slower Chicago.

After returning to London I gradually got into UK Garage scene and was playing on Stevie Koo's BOSS FM. Then got involved with SUPREME FM with fellow DJ’s and MC’s in 1997, which was one of the hottest UK Garage stations of that era giving platform to the likes of Dj Oxide, MC Neutrino, The So Solid Crew and many more.

Done some production but nothing to mention. The love for House music was all always there and funny enough the scene has evolved back to it again. Back on radio and the club scene.

I am a young London based DJ and I generally play all kinds of electronic music including house, EDM, garage, dub and d&b. I am also open to suggestions of particular tracks or artists the client might request.
