DRIVEN AM

The following DJ’s are available for bookings:

NOOKIE ( Stricktly Digital | Phuzion Records )

Undoubtedly one of the leading lights in the Drum & Bass scene, Nookie, aka Cloud Nine/Second Vision/New Balance (along with Blame), is London/Herts DJ/producer/artist/remixer Gavin Cheung. To his credit is "Give a little love", one of the first underground rave anthems, which came out on absolute 2 records then re-released on Reinforced Records in 1993. "The sound of music", another early rave anthem from "The return of Nookie EP", also issued by Reinforced records was to catapult him into the limelight, "Snow"/"Jazzmin" on Moving Shadow, one of the first tunes to use a real jazz double bass. He was also running his own label in the early nineties (Daddy Armshouse Records) with his long-time friend Pedro, and had a number of releases to his credit.
In 1995 Nookie released his debut LP on Reinforced Records entitled ‘The Sound of Music’. This proved to be a huge success and gave Nookie a more worldwide status. He has been lucky enough through his work to travel all around the world experiencing different cultures and seeing how others perceive the sound of his music. Countries that he has visited include Germany, Italy, Japan, America, Poland, Yugoslavia, Estonia, and Spain amongst others. He has worked with many great artists and in 1998 he got to work on his second album with one of his all time heroes Larry Heard aka Mr Fingers. This was released through Sony Records in Japan and helped him reach a wider audience within the dance music scene. Included on this album is the Ibiza/Café Del Mar classic “Paradise”.
A year on and he released his third album also through Sony Records (Japan) under his other artist name ‘Cloud Nine’. During this time he got to tour Japan to promote this album alongside MC Five Alive, Ray Keith and singer Beverley who featured on this album project with the two main tracks “Distant Affair” and “Living in a Ghetto” which was later remixed by Peshay. His status as a remixer continues to rise, not least due to his interpretation of Goldie’s instant classic "Inner city life". Other artists to have received the Nookie remix treatment include Cutty Ranks, Flourgon & Ninjaman, Doc Scott, Omni Trio, Adam F, Ganja Crew and more recently his remix of MC Conrad's "Energetic Poetry" and The Pedge’s “What’s Up Partner?” released on Dread Recordings. DJ's who have helped promote his work over the years include Fabio, Grooverider, LTJ Bukem and Ray Keith.
In terms of Good Looking, Nookie had already had various releases under his other aliases including New Balance "Reflections" and Second Vision "The Italian job". Recently he has added multiple 12" releases, the First Light, Oceanic and Free The Funk EPs and "In@thedeepend", his massive debut album on Good Looking Records and his forth album in total. Featured on his E.P’s was the massive “Continental Drift” which was a personal favourite of LTJ Bukem. Tracks included on "In@thedeepend" are “Innerspace”, “Dimensions of Sound” and the piano driven anthem “Natural Experience” which Good Looking records recruit Makoto has remixed. Despite these quality releases, Nookie is not resting on his laurels. He’s always looking at new ways to stretch his musical and DJ’ing talents and has already produced some House tunes for his “In@thedeepend” album.
His current projects include Strictly Digital, which is an mp3 download website featuring exclusive artist’s tunes from established and up-and-coming producers. ‘The current music market clearly shows that people are veering more to the digital form of music for their listening pleasure, it’s also very hard for new, up & coming producers to get their work heard as many labels aren’t in the position to invest money in to new artists’. In 2006 Nookie started his Phuzion Records vinyl label and this will be the main outlet for Nookie’s Drum & Bass productions. The fifth Nookie artist album is entitled ‘Beyond Blue’ and has been eagerly anticipated over the past 2 years. Nookie also hosts his extremely successful monthly Drum & Bass events called ‘Atmosphere’

DJ SEEN
( Direct Drive | Burner Brothe rs )
Myspace.com/djseen

Playing in a tearing, Hi-energy style of drum and bass, DJ Seen has proven, hands-down, that he can move any crowd. Whether it be his airtight mixing, his wicked throw-ins, or the pure quality of his selection, Seen is all about business. Due to his frequent appearances and dramatic response at top parties, the name DJ Seen has become synonymous with NYC drum and bass. DJ Seen began spinning drum and bass back in 1994, when ragga jungle was significant in the scene; he has tirelessly promoted drum and bass and its evolution ever since. Early in 1996, DJ Seen and Konkrete Jungle's MC Panik formed the Audio Arcade, a crew whose mission was to create a passageway, or arcade, through which to present this music. Seen began co-producing with Pish Posh in 1999, bringing his dance floor expertise and fresh ideas to the studio of the American pioneer. Making a rumble from the get go with tunes released on Rawkuts/Rawkus, set the stage for DJ Seen to team with Pish Posh and Chris Thomas as The Burner Brothers. The Burner Brothers have set the pace for Stateside drum and bass, with a stream of floor stormers getting instant approval in their own DJ sets, and play from top UK and US selectors. In the year 2000 DJ Seen added the title of Label Manager of Rawkuts to his credentials, as he attended to the speedy revival of the imprint as an international force until its demise due to corporate take over of the mother label Rawkus. DJ Seen has new plans for the year 2006 as he has stoped working on labels to work more on his production and concentrate on dj'ing again. In a city so full of talented DJs, Seen stands out with his hard work, skill, and his infectious festive spirit. Filling rooms at countless drum and bass weeklies and raves in New York City, Atlanta, South Beach, San Francisco, LA and around America, DJ Seen can currently be found in rotation as an esteemed resident at NYC's Direct Drive. www.DIRECTDRIVE.NET

DJ STRIFE
( Dj-Strife.com | Sister NYC )
http://www.myspace.com/djstrife
Music is her life. Drum and Bass is her passion. Erica Munday, A.K.A. DJ Strife, has had a love for music for as long as she can remember. It’s that feeling that when you close your eyes and simply listen…the whole world disappears. Strife’s involvement in the U.S. underground music scene started back in 1994 when she was only 14 and attended her first rave. After this one night she knew right then that this music was something that truly touched her soul and would be a part of her life forever. She soon thereafter was going to every event on the east coast that she could, which eventually lead her to her next natural step…promoting. She started promoting for one of the largest event companies on the east coast, Park Rave Maddness. And by the time she was 16 she had made enough contacts in
the scene and wanted to continue going forward by learning how to DJ – to be that person that controlled the crowd’s inner feelings by taking you on a journey with the music they wove together. At first by playing fast-paced Hard Trance and Hard Acid music that got the crowd going, but eventually at 19 while in college in New York for Audio Recording, switched to her growing love for Drum and Bass.
2003 brought the way of House DJ, Fame and his Simply Bangin’ Productions which merged Strife and Fame together for combined efforts in weekly events in NYC. By joining a night of House and Drum and Bass music this allowed them to bring both styles of music together in one place. Also in 2003 Strife got linked up with all female crew Sister NYC (the NYC chapter of successful San Francisco group). Right away this combination of all genre woman DJ’s and MC’s connected with her, and knew together they could really make a dent in furthering woman and their place in Electronic music. Being interviewed for Los Angeles collective Technotreff’s nationally distributed “Girls of Techno” DVD also gave her a chance to speak her mind on the empowerment on being a female DJ. Hosting and playing at events all the way from New York to Miami to Brazil to Germany to London and back again, Strife continues to push the Drum and Bass sound that she strives for everyone to hear and feel. Strife's flow of Liquid Drum and Bass sounds infused with Brazillian flavor and vocal tunes make her track selection stream together with each blended mix. As well as being endorsed by keyboard company Korg, Strife has performed all over nationally and internationally at such events as the DEMF, Detroit Electronic Music Festival, at renowned UK monthlies
"Therapy Sessions" & “Metric”, and touring in Brazil and Germany alongside heavyweights such as High Contrast, Bad Company, Dylan, Loxy, & B Key, Patife, Andy, Drumagick, and Mickey Finn. In addition, she has taken part at conventions in Nashville, TN for the NAMM show, at Madison Square Garden in her residence of NY for product demos, and in Miami for the WMC, Winter Music Conference, with Sister USA.
