DJ Chuck-E Live @ Enter the Dragon 25th B'day feat Ferry Cortsen, District, Cardiff, 31st May 2025

Godfather’ - ‘Legend’ - ‘International Hero’. All accolades attributed by loving fans Worldwide to the DJ, Producer and scene pioneer known as ‘Slipmatt’. Anyway, on to the Hard Trance & Old Skool DJ, Chuck-E, who has now ‘retired’ from the dance music scene.

Wales’ premier Hard Trance DJ, Chuck-E, has enjoyed a long illustrious career in the hard dance scene, spanning back 26 years, to 1997. Originally playing Old Skool hardcore & Drum & Bass is his bedroom, progressing on to the Hard Trance sound he is known for today.

His resume contains headline shows in countries including South Korea, Australia, Holland, and Norway, as well as holding many residencies over the years, at events such as Breathe, GBH, Sugar, Trancefusion, The Square, and Panic Room. 

He was one of the most frequently booked DJs at the mighty Bionic events and has played guest slots for virtually every major and well-respected Hard Dance promotor in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland, with Frantic, Goodgreef, Storm, Ministry of Sound, HTID, Tranzaction, Westfest, Escape into the Park, Back To The Future, Concept, Ripsnorter, North, and Sanctuary Festival, all included on extensive the list.

The triumphant 2005-2012 partnership with Jon the Baptist (coined by UK hard dance kings Frantic as ‘The UK’s number 1 Hard Trance Team) would see them set up the hugely popular ‘Intolerance Recordings’ imprint to showcase the bulk of their studio creations, alongside being signed to the massive ‘Future Sound Corporation’ label in Italy, releasing hits such as ‘Magic’ - ‘A new hope’ and remixing for the legendary Yoji Biomehanika. 

Career accolades include winning the national PYP DJ competition, plus joining Kutski for a special guest feature on BBC Radio 1 and having his ‘Science Fiction’ album release party at the mighty 55,000 strong ‘Defqon1’ festival, run by Q-dance in the Netherlands, in which his track ‘What is reality’ featured on their DVD release.

Chuck-E has never been one to ‘follow the crowd’ - always looking to be original in the way he plays and performs, his energetic showmanship and crowd-pleasing personality combine perfectly with his unique and diverse sets, making him one of the most popular DJs on the circuit. Although known as – and predominantly a Hard Trance DJ (being a huge ambassador of the sound) expect things to be mixed up relentlessly, with the full spectrum of Hard Trance on display, sprinkled with Bootlegs and varied edits from the Hard Techno & Electro, Schranz, Drum & Bass and Hardcore scenes.

With him retiring from DJ’ing, music, and the everyday tasks of the scene 8 years ago, due to tinnitus and ear problems, he has recently returned to the digital turntables, and we are accepting a select number of gigs

Bio

For many years I've been into music, DJing and music production. I started mixing when I was 14 on Citronic turntables, playing Uk hardcore, hard trance and occasionally a bit of D&B! I have always had a big passion for music! 

I went to college and completed a diploma in music technology covering all areas of music from live events, sound systems, production etc, but after I completed my course I didn’t focus on music production a lot as I got into Mcing and done this for 11 years doing all the big events in the UK such as west fest, hardcore heaven, HTID. Eventually I parted ways from the scene as I had accomplished everything I set out to do and my goals and visions changed.

I took a big gap from music and it wasn’t until late September 2022 I really thought i needed to dive back into music again so I bought a copy of FL studio and started making trance! Since then I have had some great success with the label Future Force, achieving my first number 1 release on beat port “Hold on to me” and a top 10 “Perfect Storm” which was great to see do so well being new to producing trance and a new name on the scene! 

I’ve also had releases on Faculty One, Audio Surgery and Emmanating Records and Juiced Digital 

Keep an eye out for much more from me in the future on my music journey and thanks to everyone supporting me ❤️

Beginning his journey at the age of 14, he quickly developed a passion for mixing and sound selection that has remained at the core of his career ever since. With decades of experience behind the decks, Pedz has built a reputation as a technically solid and highly adaptable artist.

Over the years, he has supported heavyweight names such as Will Atkinson, Billy Gillies, Kimmick, Ian Van Dahl and Cally to name a few. Comfortable across a wide spectrum of electronic music, Pedz plays everything from house through to trance and techno, with a particular focus on the harder, high-energy styles of dance music.

Known for driving, energetic sets and strong crowd awareness, Pedz blends old-school influence with modern edge, delivering powerful performances that keep dancefloors locked in from start to finish — both as a DJ and a producer shaping his own sound

Emerging from the thriving electronic music scene in South Wales, Jaimy J has been captivating audiences with her sets since 2022.

Despite her relatively short time behind the decks, Jaimy J has already made a significant impact on her local scene and beyond!
Her passion for hypnotic melodies and pulsating basslines quickly became an obsession from a young age. 

When she finally built up the courage to step behind the decks, she realised that this is where she is at her happiest.

With Trance and Hard Trance remaining her enduring passion, she has found her niche by injecting more intense energy into her performances, incorporating Hard dance and a splash of Hard Techno in her sets, depending on the audience and event.

She has supported a diverse range of headline acts such as Scot Project, Lange, DJ Activator, T-78, Lisa Lashes, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Will Atkinson, David Rust, Art of Fighters, DJ Isaac, Symmetrik, Hixxy, Maria Healy, DJ Thera, Renegade System, S.H.O.K.K., Cally & Juice, M-Zone, Vicky Devine and Mark EG, to name but a few.

After co-founding ‘The Wronguns’ group, gaining many bookings and a loyal fan base in the local area, Jaimy has now spread her wings in the DJ field, spinning tunes for promoters such as ASOL Festival, Hindsight Ibiza, Breathe, Hard Trance Weekender, Outrage, Logic & Logic Festival, Tremor, Barntek, Escape, Enter the Dragon, Tik-Tech and Fixate, travelling up & down the motorways of England and Wales most weekends.

This year, Jaimy travelled to Tidy Trax HQ to take part in a live stream DJ set after becoming one of the finalists of their Tidy Weekender DJ competition.

Jaimy has also been locked away in the studio, and 2025 saw the birth of her ‘Jinko Chino’ record label, co-owned with DJ Chuck-E. This imprint has also seen the release of her first-ever original track, ‘Dreaming’ (alongside Jon the Baptist & DJ Chuck-E), which hit the stores in September.

The future looks bright for Jaimy with lots of gigs, Jinko Chino releases and more of her own material in the pipeline.
