I started Dj'ing in 1989 learning my trade around the local area before things really took off the following year with a residency in the Balearic Isles.

 During the early 90's under the name 'DJ Frenz-E' I played at numerous raves with established names like Carl Cox, Slipmatt (SL2), Top Buzz and artists like Baby D (Let me be your Fantasy), K-Klass (Rhythm is a Mystery) and Altern 8 (Activ-8). I also had my own regular show on pirate radio station Bassline FM broadcasting across the Burton & Swad area at a weekend.

 Gilly moved to the area from Manchester where we formed a formidable partnership, taking Derby by storm in the mid 90's. Arguably one of the Midlands most influential venues 'Vines Wine Bar' in Sadler Gate, Derby was where we could be heard 3 times a week. A venue where promoters and clubbers would meet before moving on to various club nights around the Midlands.

 The Emporium in Coalville was a regular venue we'd play in the super clubs early days.
 Further residencies continued all over The Midlands before a major gig in Taunton, Somerset for Ministry of Sound to promote their very first CD 'The Annual'. 
 Another major booking in 1995 was from the legendary Hacienda's pre bar called 'Dry'.

 A monthly residency was now secured in Taunton, Somerset supporting some of the countries finest. The likes of The Happy Clappers (I Believe), John Marsh (The Beloved), Double Trouble (of Rebel MC fame), Ian M and the late great Tony De Vit (RIP). Ministry of Sound once again requested our services to promote their 'Dance Nation' CD in the packed Somerset venue.

 With Gilly returning to Manchester, I started working regularly for the University of Derby Students Union (UDSU) at a variety of their club nights. I've played at every Graduation and May Ball since 1996 and still continues to do so today. I was also the creator of the now legendary UDSU club night 'Spank'

 Having had the taste for broadcasting in the early days, I presented my first legal radio show on Freedom FM. I played a unique blend of old and new house,hip hop & anything dance orientated. The station was up against Century for the vacant East Midlands radio licence which was eventually won by Century 106FM.

 In 2001 I warmed up for Judge Jules on his university tour which was broadcast live on Radio 1 along with Gatecrasher resident Scott Bond.

 A brand new club opened in Walsall town centre called Sofa Sofa where I was asked by the manager (who I'd played for in the past), to be the Saturday night resident. I was there for two years (before the club turned into a Flares type venue). Every week the club would be at it's 1000 capacity, with clubbers visiting the club from all over the UK. Galaxy FM would bring their DJ's Paul Kershaw and Dave Clarke to the club regularly and broadcast the nights live across the Galaxy network.

 In 2005 I teamed up with my youngest brother Rob and we DJ'd under the name The Hyde Brothers. We played monthly gigs at The Nightingale in Birmingham, Traffik in Shoreditch, London and regular gigs for probably one of the Midlands most exciting new house brands 'Twisted Love' at Susumi's, Derby, Uba Rooms in Burton on Trent & Ciro's in Ashby de la Zouch

Stefan Makepeace is a passionate DJ and producer specialising in all things House. His musical journey began at the age of 12 when he got his first pair of decks, inspired by his DJ father and the vibrant sounds of house music. One of the tracks that ignited his passion was Josh Wink's "Higher State of Consciousness," a track that continues to influence his love for house music. Growing up, Stefan often helped his dad set up for gigs and would hide in the back of pubs, absorbing the energy and excitement of live DJ sets. He started playing at house parties and, in his late twenties, began performing at well-known clubs including Ministry of Sound, Pacha London, and Egg. After a break, Stefan returned to DJing and producing music at 37, bringing fresh energy and dedication to his craft. He now hosts a monthly show on Data Transmission Radio and has released his first track, "I Don't Depend," on Plus Soda Music. Stefan’s goal is simple: to create and play great house music that resonates with people. He loves the connection that forms between the DJ and the audience, taking listeners on a musical journey that brings joy and unity to the dance floor.

Dawn Lee has firmly made her mark on hard house since breaking out into the clubs in Feb 2017, honing her craft mixing vinyl at home for almost 15 years before picking up on digital formats. 
A multi-genre DJ, comfortable playing most genre, in particular, hard house, techno, tech house and house, across different formats, Dawn’s musical influences reflect decades of dance music and beyond. Dawn graduated from the Lisa Lashes School of Music in 2018 and was quickly signed to the LLSOM artists roster, supporting Lisa playing at the Foundry in Torquay and playing B2B with industry heavyweight Rob Tissera at the school’s Unity of Sound event.  
Being invited to be a resident for WeLoveHardHouse in 2019, opened up some unique DJing opportunities and Dawn was a regular face at West Rocks hotels for the last few years of the intimate “Weekends away with...” series, handpicked by Ben Stevens, Rob Tissera and Andy Farley for their events demonstrated Dawn’s versatility and rising popularity. Gaining experience with the brand both behind the scenes and in front of the decks!!! Dawn had also scored residencies for Vinyl Warriors, Re:Form, Wanted Underground Sounds, Keeping Hard House Alive and most recently can also be found spinning tunes for Brighton-based Hard Hush. 
A regular DJ at Frantic, since her debut in 2019, Dawn represented Bioshokk at the iconic Ministry of Sound for Frantic 26 last year. She’s also played for Storm at the Emporium, and at the last 2 Tidy Weekenders, last year for Vicious Circle, and she’s been snapped up by “The Beat Goes on” playing for their annual micro-festival and most recently their sold-out NYE party. Further afield she has spun hard house multiple times on the white isle playing the XStatic Ibiza closing party not once, but twice! Dawn is also a regular face at Unity in the Sun and is a firm favourite with clubbers, returning each year to play in Corfu. It’s easy to see why big and small brands are supporting Dawn, she’s comfortable playing to any time slot and always gets the dancefloor moving. With a solid list of gigs already in the diary for 2024 Dawn is looking forward to getting back where she is most happy, behind the decks! 
But also back in the studio… Having started her production journey in 2016, Dawn has scored releases on Vicious Circle Recordings, Fireball, Frantic Digital and Toolbox just to name a few. Dawns collaborated with Paul King on his Trauma XX album, with Portsmouth-pal K8-e on dancefloor anthem “Kicks 4 Free” and on multiple tunes with long time musical partner Wayne German under their Scallywags moniker.  Having started the journey to learn how to produce for herself, Dawn had her first solo production released as part of the Toolbox 20 remixes in 2020.  
With a renewed focus on production and collaborations in 2024, Dawn’s all about music and she’s looking forward to making new tunes and seeing you out and about on a dancefloor soon.
