Dan Marciano is about to become the worst-kept secret in dance music.
Born and raised in Paris, he has long been revered as a revolutionary of the 
French electronic music scene and Dan takes his DJ skills to famous clubs both 
large and small in every corner of the world, from Germany, Italy and Miami to 
Singapore, Brasil to Buenos Aires.
He has also been producing and remixing since 2000.
Now, following the successful seasons of his The Tribes party 
Dan’s star is set to rise even higher. 
He says simply: “I have the best job in the world.”
The Tribes brings together music royalty including Sven Vath, Marco Carola, 
Solomun, Maceo Plex, Ellen Allien, Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Guy Gerber, and 
Magda, for an series of events showcasing the most notorious, talked-about 
parties on the planet: Circoloco, Music On, Cocoon, Paradise, Mobilee…
Dan Marciano always loved music and dancing.
As a kid he spent his pocket money on Michael Jackson or George Benson 
records but when house music emerged in Paris he found a spiritual home.
Inspired by legends like Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier and Jeff Mills, and 
enthralled by the colour and magic of the dancefloor, 
Dan threw himself into DJing.
It was harder to get a break in the pre-internet era and he remembers doing 
things the old fashioned way: handing out cassettes and throwing his own 
parties.
Dan built a loyal following and became a resident at some of Paris’s most 
celebrated clubs including the Palace, Les Bains Douches, and Queen where he 
has held court for a dozen years.
His success as a DJ is driven by the belief that: 
"You can have the best records but if you don’t feel the music, and the people in 
front of you, if you don’t tell a story, it won’t be any good.”
This simple philosophy has driven Dan to experiment throughout his career.
According to fellow DJs: “His music fascinates and hypnotizes everybody who 
hears it”
Dan is always happiest taking his love of house music to the masses.
He is also busy in the studio, pursuing his second passion of making music.With 
more than a decade of hit records under his belt, including the evergreen ‘Good 
Morning Paris’, Dan’s production career has evolved along with his DJ style. 
His extensive back catalogue crosses labels such as Full House, Escape, Royal 
Flush and Connected Records and recent releases have graced Denfis, Cream 
Couture and Natural Rhythm. 
With a full schedule, new management, and ambitious plans, Dan is bursting 
with excitement for the future. “Clubbing has never lost its magic,” 
He says. “People call my music house, or underground, but you can’t put a label 
on it. It’s just about emotion and passion

Take pain, passion, and courage, mix that with knowledge, faith, consciousness and love, and then top it off with organic creativity, lyricism, and wit...and you'll get AJ McQueen. AJ McQueen was born and raised in the rough streets of west side St.Louis, Missouri, "Wellston" to be exact. At the age of 13 AJ became active in the neighborhood gang and at the age of 15 he was shot and nearly lost his life. However, with the prayers of friends, family, and loved ones AJ survived to live another day. After relinquishing ties to gang activity where his involvement almost claimed his life AJ was sent away to live with a friend of the family in Houston, Texas to help curve his behavior and to save his life.

AJ started rapping at the young age of 11 where he would grow to be known around the neighborhood and school hallways as one of the best freestylers and battle rappers on the Westside and Northside of St.Louis. However, when he was sent to Houston his writing and lyrics became something more "meaningful". He recorded his first song on a tape recorder and he let the man of the house hear the song, and after listening he said, "AJ you have great potential." That day AJ's life changed forever. After working 2 jobs at the age of 16 AJ purchased his own studio equipment and he began recording more music. He started performing at talent shows and events around the Southside of Houston, "Alief" to be exact. AJ recorded his first full length mixtape and passed it out around his high school campus, and It was at that time that he earned the respect of his peers. At 17 AJ joined a group called S.T.C. and performed all over the country spreading a message of positivity and faith. After a successful career with the group, AJ went solo. At 19 AJ was featured on B.E.T.’s hit show 106 & Park, where they gave him the title of "Youth Activist", and it was at that moment that he knew he had a God given gift and responsibility that was bigger than anything that he ever imagined. With this inner knowing he decided to put his past, pain, knowledge, experiences, and devotion all into his writing and music.

Jaykae, is undoubtedly an artist we must thank for putting Birmingham's Grime scene officially on the map. Jaykae first picked up the mic in 2009 & quickly became a member of the prominent Birmingham squad Invasion Alert.

After taking a personal break, Jaykae is back in refreshed form, focused on his solo career and is fast becoming known for his strong flow, authentic style & dynamic delivery.

As an artist, Jaykae is continuing to grow. Like any true artist does, he draws deeply from his life experiences. Triumphs, setbacks, friends, family, dreams and new found fatherhood all have an impact on Jaykae's style, as he bares all, giving listeners solid, rugged Grime. This visceral realness connects him & makes his voice indispensable to his ever growing fanbase.

The MC recently supported Skepta's Birmingham date on the Konnichiwa tour in May. Alongside collaborations with his Birmingham cohorts, Dapz On The Map, and breakout rap star Mist, Jaykae has featured on Skepta's all star remix of hit single 'That's not me' and recently on Mike Skinner's Tonga Balloon Gang track 'CCTV'. This led to Skinner remixing the artists latest single 'Pull Up', and Mike refers to Jaykae as simply "the truth!".

Jaykae has picked up where he left off, continuing to prove to his large fanbase, why his direct and uncensored energy makes him a worthy component to the UK's Grime scene and the essential voice of his city.
