	
The Persuaders are UK House DJ’s; Brett Gould & Adam Lee who met through their passion of music whilst working for a record company in London & formed a Partnership in 2006.

Even before their paths had crossed, they had graced the decks in some of the biggest club nights across the UK, Europe and Asia. They had played alongside names such as Deep Dish as Paul van Dyk, they'd also had Finalist places in big DJ Competitions like TDK and Ministry of Sound. 

The Persuaders are now seen as one of London's biggest up & coming DJ talent, playing regularly on the london circuit, appearing on flyers with the likes of Deadmau5, Chris Lake, Sasha, Michael Woods, Hoxton Whores and Stonebridge to name but a few.

Famous for their smooth mixing and full of energy sets, The Persuaders have played for promoters like Kinky Malinki, Plush Da Funk, Kidology, Electronic Sessions, Plastic Fondu, Miss Moneypennys, House Rules, Sick Vibez, South City and Licked. 

2008 saw their debut in Ibiza at El Divino playing alongside Thomas Gold for Kidology...Again another amazing moment as the lads played the closing set and the club stayed open for an extra hour. The same year, they were confirmed residents for Electronic Sessions, who were famous for their back room parties at Ministry of Sound & their extraordinary sell out boat parties on the Thames in London. 

Their skills don't just lie with the decks either as their past has lead to many studio adventures with releases under different aliases. They have earned themselves club & buzz chart placings with album compilations including a track on Pete Gooding's front page Mixmag ibiza mix.

With a solid London Residency under their belt for Electronic Sessions & regular on the London clubbing circuit something very exciting is about to happen to these boys.

Look out for their Debut Track "Faces EP" on Stylus Recordings release 23rd May 2011

Always loved dance/house/trance. And latterly classics and opera! During my 6 years of clubbing from 1997 to 2003 I went to every super club in the UK and a couple in Amsterdam. I've seen just about every global DJ - Sanchez, Alfredo, Danny Rampling, Alex Gold,  Morillo, Tiesto, Buuren, Chemical Brothers, Deep Dish, Benassi, Prodigy, Faithless, Tong, Fatboy Slim, Judge Jules, Heldon, Halliwell, Graeme Park plus so many more at some of the best 'super clubs' in the world...GateCrasher, Cream, Godskitchen, Peruvia, Fabric, Philips Park Hall, Speedqueen, Progress, Ministry of Sound, Miss Moneypennys, The Archers, Hacienda...plus many more that I've forgotten about...but will always be with me.

Started DJing in 1992 in Birmingham, played at well known house clubs including Crunch (a weekly all nighter @ The Attic) and Bakers ("Jelly Baby" - a Miss Moneypenny's night), and many nights @ Birmingham University.  

Got a first taste for radio on BURN FM then on to NRG (to become FIRE 107.6FM) when came back to Bournemouth.  Played regularly at various clubs and bars in the area including a residency at trance night "Resonation", The Country Club, Anthemia @ Wax,  Bar Med, Casa and many others.

Overseas gigs included Bali (Double Six club, bars in Seminiak, and a local radio station), and a weekly 6 hour trance show on Sydney's Nova 96.9.

Cut & Splice aka Josh McInnes exploded onto the house scene last year after earning the illustrious position of in-house producer/engineer for Media Records Ltd and joins artists such as Tom Neville who have also held this coveted title. Creating a wave of killer original productions and remixes under his Cut & Splice guise (and other pseudonyms) as well as engineering for the likes of Jonathan Ulysses (Space), Rachel Barton, Chris MiMo and Love Assassins.

Showcasing his immense natural talent and unique style Josh has already seen his productions and remixes supported by the likes of Robbie Rivera, K Klass, Sander Kleinenberg, Dubfire, Kissy Sell Out, Pete Tong, Riva Starr, Style Of Eye, Mowgli, Andi Durrant, Mark Knight, Steve Smart, Tim Andresen, Jim Ryan (Miss Moneypennys), Flash Brothers, Sharp Boys, David Dunne (Hed Kandi), Tall Paul, Digital Dog, Panos, John Jones (Hed Kandi), Crazy Cousins and more!

Not content with just doing this Josh began creating his own Mash Ups and Bootlegs in the studio and spinning them in his unique Cut & Splice shows especially at his residency for Big In Ibiza at The White House in Clapham, London. This lead to an album project with Big In Ibiza: House Mash Up Mix which immediately found huge success hitting no.1 across Europe in the iTunes Dance Album Charts.

Biography.

I have been promoting dance events since club night Delicious began its epic journey to the forefront of the UK Club scene back in 1996 at 'The Victoria Rooms' in Oswestry.

Championed as the North Wales only original 5 Star Club (Top5, Mixmag, 1996). Delicious constantly put the House Music to the forefront of its crowd, coupled with the finest residents: DJ's Matt & Leon Roberts(Cream, Liverpool) Darren Christian(The Gallery, London), Jay Vegas & Kiddo (Miss Moneypenny's, Birmingham), supporting world class guests such as Graeme Park, Farley JackmasterFunk, Jeremy Healy, Tall Paul, Jim"Shaft" Ryan, Rob Tissera, Angel, Lisa Lashes, Pete & Russell (Progress Tour), Matt Hardwick, Alistair Whitehead, Elliott Eastwick & Miles Holloway (Hard Times/Back2Basics), John Kelly, Scott Bond (Gatecrasher), Sonique and many more. The Funk Boutique in the 2nd room hosted DJs: Sonny Woods, Kev Griffiths, Emerson Dasilva, Lady K and more. It's not difficult to see why Delicious was at the forefront of Clubbing and reaching it's full capacity of dedicated clubbers on a regular basis from all over the Country.

After Delicious i took time off for family and came back to event management in 2009 with two Delicious Re-unions with Guests including K-Klass, John Kelly, Seb Fontaine and also a FarleyJackmasterfunk Special celebrating 25 years of House.

After these reunions the concept of giving DJ’s a critical platform via underground events was born – Sub Kutz...

The Future Of Alternative Dance Music = SUB KUTZ Sub Kutz has pushed it's Underground Sounds to many dance floors and held events at various locations including The Buttermarket – Shrewsbury (Rob Tissera/Sonny Wharton/Graeme Park/Logistics), HomeFromHome – Manchester (Pre Party for Ben Sims @ Sankeys), The Workhouse – Llanfyllin, The legendary Cotton Club – Wrexham(K-Klass/Alistair Whitehead) and played alongside DJ's such as: Krafty Kutz, Plump DJ’s, K-Klass, A-Skillz, The Brookes Brothers, Logistics, Gemma Furbank, Paul Woolford(DJ Mag Best British DJ 2010) Audio Injection, Chris Finke, Bas Mooy, Mike Humphries, Ed Mackie, Manthrax, Cy Humphreys, Jay Robinson, Call Me T & Rogue Element.

Hosted events alongside Brands such as: WE LOVE IBIZA - ATOMIC JAM - AUDIO FARM - COLOUR - DETACHED - VOODOO - Mad Hatter - Locked - Uber Disco - Luv jam - Mash UP - Uber Disco - Electronique - Dirty Planet

In 2013 i joined with a few friends as a collective to start The Workhouse Project.

Since 2013 The Workhouse Project has quickly become Mid-Wales' No1 underground music venue. With the support of our dedicated followers and our hard work, we have raised the bar on event standards across the region, bringing the best of modern dance music as well as other themed and featured events with a wide range of music and performance arts. With a unique location, friendly atmosphere, high quality music/sound system, projection art and sensible lighting, there is nothing for many miles that comes close to this experience.

Test Pilot began his career in the music industry as a DJ in the early 90’s. He held residencies at Masquerade and then Top Club in South Africa, and was guest DJ in resort club The Galaxy Bar in Sun City. Riding the electronic wave he moved into music production and was an early pioneer of acid house and techno.
Growing up in Africa he became influenced by crossover acid house/trance gigs like the KLF and then Leftfield that appealed to a more tribal sense. The mid 90’s saw an explosion of global festivals and a new era of collective consciousness underpinned by progressive 'world' Goa Trance.
Also in the mid 90’s he became involved in event production and partnered in ICE (Incubated Cyber Energy) Productions, Southern Africa’s premier dance event label. They produced the largest electronic parties on the continent including the Freedom Dance Festivals and Conscious Tour, and co-staged the African leg of WOMAD with Peter Gabriel. ICE went on to produce many events with headline acts including Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk, Faithless, Boy George to name just a few. During his career he has had the opportunity to work with the best production teams and gear in the industry including Gearhouse with Tensile One (the world’s largest portable structure) at NASREC, Electric Workshop and Wembly Stadium. ICE also produced smaller tour partnerships with clubs from Europe including Ministry of Sound, Gatecrasher and Miss Moneypennys, bringing out the hottest talent and latest styles.

Having recently come off the back of a Brazilian tour of beat laden sounds, London/LA up coming DJ Producer Richie Silver is currently in the process of finishing off his debut EP.

Richie Silver’s musical journey started inadvertently through a mish mash set of old clapped out drums, zender cymbals, brit pop and odd rave tapes of the 1994 era. Since then Richie has gone onto become a household name for London VIP parties and exclusive one off shows across the globe.  International coverage beckoned back in 2001 when Richie was flown out to Ayia Napa to play for iconic events such as Garage Nation and Twice as Nice with a residency shortly following with Miss Moneypennys.  In the midst of this pirate radio beckoned pulling out a two year weekly residency with 'Silk City', midlands biggest pirate station at the time.

By 2009 Richie became a household name in London central playing mashup sounds at his place of residence in Camden whilst dropping the more upfront sets at exclusive celebrity hangouts gaining him a DJ cameo TV appearance on BBC's Wags to Riches presented by Annie Mac. His performances have extended to parties at Amika, Maya, Funky Buddha, Dolce, Studio Valbonne, Cavendish No.5 and Twenty Four supporting a roster of international acts.

Most recently Richie has worked digital at Sony/RCA supporting a host of international priorities Beyonce, Pitbull, Chris Brown, Hurts and Oh land.  He has now been drafted in to head up digital for Swedish House Mafia.  The recent Diplo Horsey remix collaboration was featured on Mixmag, YoYo, Beatsmedia and Ilikemusic blogs.  The debut EP is set for release later this year!
