To listen to Billy Gillies is to capture true joy, because every song he produces and DJ set he performs radiates pure passion and vibrant spirit.

 

The Northern Irishman’s blend of quirky Eurodance synths, uplifting trance grandeur and hard-hitting bass rhythms goes beyond catchy melodies and expert timing, as breakout hits “Lagoon” and “Youth” tap into the very essence of what makes a night spent on the dancefloor with your best mates such a special experience.

 

That’s why he’s earned more than 145 million views on TikTok, filled a Creamfields tent with thousands of ravers at 1 p.m. on a Sunday, and why he’s managed to get an official remix of Madison Avenue’s 1999 hit “Don’t Call Me Baby” after ripping the iconic vocal off the internet.

 

Crowds chant his name from Taiwan to Texas because Billy Gillies dares to do something different; something unique to himself. Now, Billy Gillies is the next superstar-DJ-in-the-making, poised to take over the world.

 

Billy’s musical obsession started in the 2000s when his older sister started buying Clubland compilation CDs and dating a local DJ. One night, the boyfriend came over and brought his decks, but when the couple left to go dancing, 11-year-old Billy snuck into his sister’s room and started playing with the turntables.

 

“I was like, ‘what is this music? I love this,’” he laughs. “On the Christmas list for that year was a set of decks.”

 

His mom delivered with his first set of Kam belt drives, and Billy’s been mad for mixing ever since. Each Saturday, he’d head out of the house with a five Pound note and spend it on a new record (Tiesto’s Traffic being particularly influential). In turn, he’d spend the next week learning to mix that record in and out of his steadily growing collection.

 

When he was 17, he got his first taste of true Clubland. A year underaged, he caught an hour-long bus from Belfast to Banbridge and talked his way into a club called Coach. Japanese DJ Yoji Biomehanika and the UK’s own Lisa Lashes dropped heavy hard-house records all night, and Billy started dreaming of his own chance to rock a crowd, proper.

 

He knew that if he wanted to be an in-demand DJ, he’d have to come up with some original songs. In 2011, he locked himself in his bedroom with a copy of Ableton Live and didn’t come out until he’d mastered the basic trance sound.

 

He fell in love with music production and started sending his tracks to BBC Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules, who played them on his show every Friday night. For 19-year-old Billy, there was nothing better.

 

After spending much of his 20s as a self-described “party animal,” 28-year-old Billy once again locked himself inside his bedroom and churned out a ton of original tunes. The result? A spot on the lineup of Luminosity 2019 alongside major trance legends Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery and more. He played a set of all-original material, and when a recording was posted to Soundcloud, it earned more plays than any of the headliners.

 

“I’d brung a fresh sound into the trance scene,” Gillies says. “Everyone was making the same type of thing, where I just look back at my influences growing up and crammed it into the main trance style.”

 

International booking requests flooded in, sending him to Argentina to Australia—and then COVID struck. Many of his peers saw no point releasing music to a locked-down crowd, but Billy saw a chance to experiment.

 

“People need music in hard times, not just for clubs,” he says. “The music I was making around that time was proper emotional melodies, and it was resonating with everyone.”

 

He’d share each tune in a rough clip to Facebook or TikTok, and every post brought shares in the thousands. His fan base wasn’t just growing, it was ballooning, due in part not only to his masterful skills in the studio but also his effervescent personality that spills into each tune.

Dj Le Baron discovered his love for House Music at the age of 16. The radio station Couleur3 and the legendary ‘Pump it up’ and ‘Groovelift’ parties left their indelible mark.

Listened to Couleur3 over and over again to have a good ear for mixing. Later there was not a single ‘Groovelift’ party he missed.

His sets are well-known for their vocal and soul elements that appeal to the emotions of his party people.

Some of Dj Le Baron’s milestones in his career as a DJ have been the world-famous Streetparade in Zurich, where he animated the crowd on the Beach Love Mobile, and several performances at the popular and legendary Purple Music Nights by Jamie Lewis. He could repeatedly show his abilities as a DJ on the ‘crazy white island’ Ibiza due to his commitment and love for music.

Music has played an important role in his life since his childhood. He started early making music with his brother and, especially, loved the rhythm. Later on he took lessons in percussion and ‘djembe’.

Furthermore, he released his own music on Deeptown Music, Purple Music, HSR Records and Soulful Evolution as well some remixes on various labels such as Deeptown Music, Look At You, Phunky Rabbit, Soulful Evolution,Rivera Records to name a few.

The vocals in his productions evoke his emotions and stimulate his ideas, and the texts and instruments are well-matched. His tracks reflect Dj Le Baron’s passion for ‘Soulful-House-Music’ which is clearly noticeable and audible in his music. Dj Le Baron is a peace-loving person, also in his work, in which the ‘jazzy’, ‘soul’ and ‘funky’ elements contribute to his pursuit of perfect harmony.

In all these past years, Dj Le Baron has stuck to his principles. Remain true to your music, LIVE YOUR LIFE! Therefore, we are looking forward to his future productions.

Master Kev’s victory in a mix-off contest in the 1990’s proved that the years of obsessing over the mixes of Merlin Bobb, Timmy Regisford, Tony Humphries and others on radio and in clubs, studying underground dance and beat syncopation and accumulating a killer collection of records finally paid off . And as the number of shows soared, so did Kev’s talent. Soon after, hero Tony Humphries called Kev to ask him to join forces with him on his Yellorange Label. His answer? A triumphant ‘Hell Yeah’.
After spinning in his first WMC in the year 2000 and embarking on several trips to Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and beyond, with Tony Humphries and even solo, his DJ career was officially on the rise. Playing in some of the most prominent clubs in major cities all over the world and playing alongside some of the prominent names in the industry including Louie Vega, Timmy Regisford, David Morales, Danny Krivit, Kerri Chandler and so many more. Also, in 2000 Kev along with founder Marlon D and others helped form the Underground Collective - a collection of DJ’s, performers, musicians..etc created to draw exposure in the dance music industry to major labels and beyond.

While working with Tony Humphries at Yellorange from 1999 - 2004, Kev had many ‘Net Shows’ on the site along with Tony Humphries and the other Yellorange DJ’s that were updated once a month. Then in 2004, Kev started a weekly radio show on CyberJamz Radio (cyberjamz.com).  The show has grown more and more each year, with many producers giving Kev the upfront heat and unreleased jams. Also, many labels send Kev promo’s in hopes that those tracks/songs will be played on his very highly listened to radio show.  With the amount of weekly hits in the archives it was no wonder they would think of Kev to help promote the new music.These days u can find the Master Kev Mixshows on Soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/master-kev) which are updated frequently.

In 2006 Kev partnered up with long time friend and former Yellorange/Underground Collective DJ partner David ‘Vibes’ Tobon and keyboard wizard John Crockett to form MKDV.  They produced their first track together titled ‘Twisted’ which gained a lot of early support from the biggest names in the dance music industry and was a very popular release on DJ Spen's imprint Code Red as well as Defected Records and even being licensed by the one and only Carl Cox for his mix compilation that was released on Defected Records.  They also worked on original tracks for Tony Records and remixes for Louie Vega’s imprint Vega Records remixing Sara Devine’s ‘Special’ as well as remixes for Mel Cheren’s and Kevin Hedge’s (Blaze) West End Records.  In 2007 Kev partnered up with good friend Scott Wozniak to produce more tracks for Code Red & Defected titled ‘String Thing’ and ‘Uncooked’ .. ‘String Thing’ became the number 1 download on Defected and Traxsources website for weeks .. They also did some remixes on Stevie Wonder’s ‘My Cherie Amour’ and Joe Cocker’s ‘You Are So Beautiful’ (high in demand since the 2007 WMC) which were never released to this date.  Later that year Kev also partnered up with Abicah Soul and worked on original tracks and remixes as well. One of those tracks ‘Kora’ was released on Iwanni Records from Toronto.

With an abundance of traveling and playing in major clubs as well as major clubs back home in NYC such as Cielo, Santos, Sullivan Room..etc..work and the frequently updated podcast shows on Podomatic & Soundcloud, Kev was once again back in the studio this time with very talented Tony Loreto from Italy forming the MKTL brand. They have been working together a lot throughout 2009-2013. They have done remixes for Tortured Soul ,Arnold Jarvis, Kenny Bobien, Peven Everett, Underground Collective,Michelle Weeks, Boddhi Satva's Offering Label, DJ Spen's 'Code Red' label, Louie and Anane Vega for Vega Records and scores of others.

DJ / Reviewer | 39y in music | TOP TEN Mix Show – Capitaldisko Radio

DJ / Reviewer by passion.
Presenter of the TOP TEN Mix Show on Capitaldisko Radio (every Saturday).

My journey in music began at the age of 16.
Today, at 55, I bring 39 years of experience in DJing, driven by a deep passion for music culture.

Thanks to Mike Belmondo and DJ Paul, I became a reviewer and collaborator for Capitaldisko, a leading platform dedicated to Soulful, Deep, Funk-Disco and Nu-Disco music.

Over the years, I have refined my ability to dig for original tracks, classic samples and forgotten gems, creating a bridge between the past and the present. I love exploring the depths of music history to give timeless sounds new life and guide listeners on a conscious musical journey.

My passion for DJing continues to push me toward new sonic horizons, always aiming to share carefully curated selections and an honest musical vision.

Been spinning since 88 and after a 10yr absence I returned a few years back to start mixing again. Before my "retirement", I played at a number of clubs and had residencies at the "infamous" Legends in Old Burlington St and at the Emporium in Soho. Currently mixing for shitz & gigglez, but aim to be playing out again this year.

I like to think, my style of mixing is smooth, I try to take the listener on a rhythmical adventure / journey. I enjoy creating something between the mixes (when possible!) rather than simply going from deck to deck, so if you find yourself; a) loving the tunes, b) having an irresistable urge to dance and c) then realise you haven`t got a clue which tune you`re listening to, then I`m doing my job.

My musical style usually falls into these categories; house, jackin, nu disco, disco house, soulful house but always funky as .......
