Starting at just the age of 14, Andrew was inspired into the world of house music through his brother’s friend who had a very in-depth vinyl collection. Labels like Defected, Z Records and Southern Fried got the juices flowing, inspirational groove and upbeat flavours you can still expect to hear in many of his sets today.

Andrew’s first residency came on his home soil Sunderland at local bar ‘Substance’ every Thursday, playing everything from nu-disco to funk and sometimes even the occasional urban jam. At only 17 years old this was the perfect gig to grow as a DJ and to develop his style. 

Andrew swiftly found his feet and walked them in to DJ booths across the Northeast, mixing his sounds at Onyx (Middlesbrough), Bar No. 28 (Newcastle) and Lola’s Bar (Sunderland) to name a few. His regular set at Lola’s Bar transpired in to a three year residency where Andrew played alongside DJs such as Graeme Sahara (Pacha), Jason Bye & Andy Baxter (Café Mambo), Mark Jenkyns (Hot Creations) and Lauren Lo Sung (LoLife). Taking inspiration from deep, tech and bass fuelled tracks, Andrew developed and deepened his sets, moving with the times and transformations of house music.

In 2012 Andrew’s talents ensured him a place as The UK finalist in the Mixmag, Burn Studios Residency Competition after successfully defeating over 1000 entries. Andrew was signed to Spin Start Artist Management in 2013 where he developed in to a brand, not only playing local clubs but also supporting Spin Start’s organised events and nights. Andrew continues to up his game and will be producing some belters in 2014.

Federico Scavo was born near Florence in Italy. Inspired by the art and culture of his surroundings, he showed talent from an early age as a musician, composer and producer.
Driven by results, Federico spends his life working in the studio and devoting himself to his passion of djing. His remarkable talent has attracted the attention of artists such as Kaskade and Pete Tong, who choose his tracks for their sets in the best clubs around the globe.

He sits down in 1994 to compose “This is the night” - his very first tune with New System, which soon becomes an international success, achieving Platinum status in Canada where sales reach 400,000.
In 2002 “Another brick in the wall” – officially approved for release by Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters – is another worldwide success, winning him a “Disco D’Oro” in Italy for selling 28,000 copies.

Not long after that, Federico applies his golden remix touch to tunes by world famous artists such as Bob Sinclar (“A far l’amore”) and John Acquaviva (“Wiki Leaks”) In a September 2012 interview Bob Sinclar recently, when asked to name the djs to watch – the ones to bet on – answered ‘first and foremost Federico Scavo.’

In 2011 the release of “Strump” marked a seminal point in his career. The track became one of the most popular in Italy, notching up 3,000,000 viewers across Youtube channels and making it to number 3 in the iTunes sales chart.

As his own record label Area94 continues to boost his popularity on the international scene, his productions are increasingly in demand from high profile labels such as Hotfingers, Pacha recordings and Toolroom, with whom he has signed a long-term collaboration - becoming part of the “home artists”.

“I DO” on Toolroom is supported by Tiesto, Kaskade, Erick Morillo and Roger Sanchez. And Federico Scavo "Aniba" has been included on RELEASE YOURSELF 12 by Roger Sanchez who often invites Federico to be a guest on the Release Yourself radio show.
Most amazing of all are his dj sets. Federico plays his own tracks – remixing and mashing in his studio so that each dj set is unique. He describes his own style as: ‘…house but a bit funky - winking at the most innovative and contemporary electro - eclectic with some references to the 70s, combined with some sexy tribal…a blended sound dressed with effects’.

To keep himself fit, Federico travels throughout Italy blessing the best clubs with his sound, while on the international scene he has played in clubs such as Nikki beach Miami, Toolroom night @ ADE, Pacha in Sharm El Sheik, Kos on the island of Greece, Space Menorca, Five Sixty Vancouver, Shore House Moscow.

A firm fixture in the House and Techno scene, Sonny Wharton has established himself as one of the finest DJ/Producers to emerge from the UK in recent years.
 
Breaking through by winning a mix-tape competition for Renaissance and DJMag immediately placed Sonny right in the heart of Ibiza’s nightlife with high profile shows at Amnesia and Space, and a weekly residency at Manumission whilst capturing the attention of key industry press and aligning him alongside the likes of Nic Fanciulli in Mixmag as a ‘Future Hero’.
 
Sonny’s skillful ability to captivate the audience with his energetic performance and diverse track selection is what prominently positions him behind the decks of many of the world’s biggest clubs and festivals. Whilst sharing the bill with everyone from Laurent Garnier and Steve Lawler, to Armand Van Helden and Eric Prydz, Sonny consistently delivers on a global scale playing everywhere from Pacha, Sao Paolo and the Berlin Love Parade in Germany to London’s legendary Ministry of Sound and the iconic Glastonbury Festival. Holding international residencies at both Club Octagon in Seoul and Solidaritet in Stockholm, Sonny’s DJ career has been solid from the start.
 
With his unique and intricate production style, Sonny’s signature sound has been strongly supported by BBC Radio 1. Originally showcased by Annie Nightingale Sonny continues to receive regular rotation from Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Danny Howard and most notably Carl Cox who chose Sonny’s single “Raindance” as his ‘Ibiza Tune Of The Summer’ for Radio 1’s Review Show. It’s this level of tastemaker support that see’s Sonny release his music across a range of high-calibre labels and the catalyst to his long standing relationship with Brighton based Skint Records; a label that see’s him sit side by side with the likes of Dave Clarke, Tim Deluxe, and Tiga.
 
Year on year Sonny continues to expand on his creative capabilities and his now reputable capacity in the studio has seen him collaborate with X-Press 2, DJ Chus and Roland Clark whilst remixing for a broad array of artists including Morcheeba, The Temper Trap, Frankie Knuckles and Fatboy Slim who subsequently named Sonny as his “producer of the year” firmly strengthening his position within modern Dance Music today. 


Double ARIA Award winner, GQ DJ of the Year Grant Smillie has been dominating the charts for the past 10 years. TV ROCK has spent the longest time in ARIA history inside the top 10 and have had no less than 11 number #1 positions on the ARIA Club chart for their remixes and originals. If that wasn’t enough, he also owns and runs Neon – a highly successful dance imprint. 

Italian born producer/dj, Manuel De Le Mare has spent the past years delivering money-shot releases and remixes, whilst marrying a lifetime of passion and dedication to his love of DJing. This ability within his musical sphere has pricked the interest of global artists like Adam Beyer, Jamie Jones, Fatboy Slim, Mark Knight, Calvin Harris, Solardo, Green Velvet. Whilst leading Beatport to bestow him the award of ‘Best Remixer of the Year’, a suitable follow up on his nomination for ‘Best Deep House and Techno Artist’.

With his music growing in stature on ever release, the demand with his bookings has not been far behind. Already a familiar face at global venues like Ministry of Sound in London, Womb in Tokyo, Space Ibiza, Amnesia Miami and Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland and Global Gathering. Manuel has managed to procure a global fan base that has enabled him to perform his music throughout Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, as well as North and South America.

His sound stretches somewhere between house and techno, whilst respectfully treading the line between commercial and credible underground.
The strength of his own recording label, which he runs with Luigi Rocca, is a testament to his intelligent foresight within his music. In the past ten years, 303lovers has find itself being earmarked by major players like Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin,  and Pete Tong among the others as a solid source of good quality electronic music.
