SGO is an independent international music company. We have close, active associations with music publishers, record labels, booking agents and other music-related operatives throughout the world. The music we represent is used globally in all types of media. The artists we work with tour most major music markets each year.

SGO was founded by Stuart Ongley in 1987 and remains privately owned. We demand from ourselves a high level of personal service in both the creative and business dimensions. Alongside this personal attention, we use all available technology – as far as we know we were the first independent music publisher to have our entire catalogue on-line for our international partners to access. Full tour data and scheduling has been shared on-line with our managed clients since the turn of the century.

Our clients tend to be highly talented, self-motivated music makers and our role is to try to support them where needed – to fill the gaps. Every client is unique and their requirements are unique. As a result, at one time or another, we have worn virtually every music biz hat – apart from that of songwriter or performer … although it’s been close at times!

We love music and regard it as one of the vital ingredients of life for all peoples of this planet. We therefore have the highest respect for those who make the music and regard it as our role and responsibility to support and nurture the talent of our clients as best we can and however we can.

Whatever it takes … 24/7!

Singer / Songwriter / Performer
Releasing music since 2002.

Urban Torque® was originally a club night at Heaven in London between 1999 and 2002. The resident DJs were Juan Atkins, Justin Robertson, Craig Richards, Adam Freeland, Dave Angel, Terry Francis, Phil Perry, Dave Clarke and The Propellerheads. We staged the very first Defected Records party, had guest DJs like Danny Howells, Carl Cox, Danny Rampling, The Murk Boys and loads of live performances including an unbelievable show by Shades Of Rhythm. We were inspired by the diversity of the electronic music assembled under one roof and wanted to recreate this in a record label.

ERIRE - Singer/Songwriter.
 
What do Simon Cowell, William Orbit, The Shapeshifters and CamelPhat have in common? They are amongst the slew of Dj artists and record labels, that have worked with west London based noted club diva and singer/songwriter maven Erire.

Erire was born and bred in South London, and has Nigerian parentage. She has a unique vocal style and songwriting ability that sets her apart from many of her contemporaries.

Erire's past collaborations have included, co-writing and vocal performances with, Dmitry Almazov (aka Bobina) 'September, Rain' and 'More Than Love'. Justin Harris (aka The Kreeps) 'No Quarter - (Breakdown)'. She was also the vocals behind Haji & Emanuele's huge club smash 'Take Me Away', which was re- released in 2008.
After a few years break away from the music biz, Erire embarked on a few collaborative cowriting and vocal projects with the likes of: K-Klass, Seamus Haji, Abel Ramos, Camelphat, Nick Hussey, Justin Harris, Jason Chance, and Judge Jules.

In 2018 Erire felt the time was right to break out on her own! Be truly independent. That year Erire released her stunning EP, "All Night Long". The EP received glowing acclaim and reviews, by Dj’s and clubbers alike!

Those of you in the know, will remember these club hit classics, that Erire penned and re-vocalised. Destination - (Darren Tate), SOS - (Stonebridge), Dusk Til' Dawn - (Danny Howells & Dick Trevor), Obsession - (Fuzzy Logic, produced by William Orbit). The beats were revisited and re-crafted with the artisan expertise of the production master Tim Cox, (formerly known as one half of the production outfit, The Band of Gypsies, and co-writer and co-producer of the huge club classic anthem "Everybody's Free" as sung by Rozalla). Once again, Erire's powerful, heartfelt vocals revisit and breathed new life, into these classic melodies and lyrics!

Erire's new single release, All Night Long, with it's searching lyrics, and mood enhancing selection of beats, will make you dance....All Night Long!

Record Producer / Dj owner of looking glass & Mad Hatter record labels.Made shit loads of big tunes!!!

In 1985 Champion hired its first employee, an 18 year old named Paul Oakenfold who had been working as messenger boy in New York. Champion Records aimed at releasing underground club tunes, Hip Hop, Rare Grooves, Jazz & Soul tracks as well as uplifting House tunes on 12” vinyl originally found and licensed from the USA. Tunes like Spank ‘Oh Baby’, Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince ‘Girls Ain’t Nothin’ But Trouble’, Salt ‘N Pepa ‘Push it’ & Rene & Angela ‘Secret Rendezvous’.

As musical taste evolved Champion aligned itself with the early house and garage movement. It produced iconic tracks including Raze’s ‘Break 4 Love’, Robin S ‘Show Me Love’, Sandy B ‘Make The World Go Round’, Kristine W ‘Feel What You Want’ & Sybil ‘Don’t Make me Over’. These then turned into some of the most famous & credible artists in the world along with DJ’s like Todd Terry, Kerri Chandler, Junior Vasquez and Stonebridge.

Giving one big finger to trends, genres and mediocrity has been Mason’s mantra for over twenty years. His studio creations and energy behind the decks are a direct reflection of this personality. Equal parts groove, melody and eccentricity the Dutchman avoids jumping on electronic music bandwagons at all costs. “I could make club music fodder all day, but that would just bore me shitless. I like to challenge myself and my audience a bit more than that!” says Mason on his production ethos. 

There aren’t too many producers out there capable of making credible underground bangers and radio friendly hits simultaneously but Mason is surely one of them. With a palette borrowed from formative years immersed in hip-hop, house, electro, funk and disco there are no rules to his musical alchemy. Its really just about having fun and avoiding the usual clichés of the scene. 

In the mid-nineties the young Mason had started to DJ, albeit from humble beginnings. He’s proud of an early residence in a seedy Amsterdam dive where off duty hookers and various freaks gathered to dance in the early hours. It certainly gave the rookie DJ a chance to hone his skills in front of a very tough crowd. Fast-forward a few decades and the unassuming Dutch producer/DJ is fulfilling his ambitions through creating music and playing clubs and festivals in over 50 countries and counting... 

You may know Mason from his breakout single back in 2007 (‘Exceeder’), yet he would be the first to tell you that things have moved on a hell of a lot since those times. In only the last two years he’s had releases on respected labels such as Island Records, Defected, Kittball, Sweat It Out, Skint and Bunny Tiger. Mason’s ‘Rhino’ was one of the tunes of last summer, which became a BBC Radio 1 'Hottest Record In The World'. 

There have been two fully-fledged artist albums by Mason, featuring a plethora of guest artists. He’s so far managed to persuade the likes of Roisin Murphy, The Noisettes, Aqualung and Jocelyn Brown to join him. Even hip-hop royalty the like of Daryl “DMC” McDaniels, Kurtis Blow and Sway have found themselves on Mason records. More recent partners in crime include Stefflon Don and The Manor. 

Then there’s his own label, Animal Language; a musical menagerie for Mason’s weird and wonderful creations. This is usually music that is just too damn strange and obnoxious for most labels out there. The Animal Language boys tend to celebrate by throwing weird and wonderful guerilla raves in strange spaces. They are drunken guided tours hosted in unfashionable bars, empty stores and even buses. The so-called ‘Animal Language Raves’ have become legend on the word of mouth party scene in Amsterdam. They are very messy affairs. 

To say this boy is prolific is a bit of an understatement. There have been scores of singles released since that one tune dropped over a decade ago. Beatport number 1’s, BBC Radio playlists, Hollywood movie features and numerous TV ads. 

This year sees Mason ramp up his activities with world-renowned collaborators. Already in the can is a club banger featuring UK and US top 10 vocalist Alex Clare. In the short term he will showcase new output via imprints such as Skint, Spinnin’ Deep and his second single for Island Records. 

In what is becoming a very trend driven, genre specific world Mason constantly strives against the norm by creating music on his own terms. He pays no heed to what this month’s current media darlings are dropping nor does he wear a baseball cap or have full sleeve tattoos either. What Mason does have is a unique vibe and ‘fuck you’ attitude to making music that is infectious and refreshing.

Dance music trends change annually. To maintain a stable disk jockey career for 25 years in a row is already an outstanding achievement. DJ Oleg Ilyushin (known in the past as a dj Vint and now producing music as Illusion) began his career in St. Petersburg in the late 1980s as an MC. In the 90s he was a resident DJ of two legendary Moscow clubs “Hermitage” and “Manhattan Express” and the music director of Radio ROKS network. Almost every weekend Oleg can be found behind the decks in the best Moscow clubs. Over the past three years he managed to be a resident DJ of such places as ZERO Bar, Rolling Stone, Ketama, Main Bar, Studio Bar and found himself as a DJ at many music festivals including Fruit Vibrations and Afisha’s Picnic. Lately Oleg founded his own label Genso Records and released a single “Believer” as Illusion (# 1 Top Electronica Charts DJTunes, # 20 iTunes Russia Electronica Charts).
