About Me


Just who are Liquid People???Conan Manchester(Colchester) and Dan Smith(Cambridge) have been producing, remixing and DJing together for the past 9 years. Based in H.O.T.H. studios, Colchester, Essex, the duo have forged a powerful partnership in global house circles, enjoying widespread success along the way. Influenced by everything from jazz to disco to hip-hop, the recipe for a Liquid People hit is simple. Conan, an original break beat junkie and technician with superb deck skills, keeps the mix moving along with beat juggling, scratching and sampling while Dans soulful cuts and smooth mixing come together to produce an experience like no other. Liquid Peoples DJ style is a unique blend of New York Style House tinged with a slightly more driving and deeper sound. In short, its banging, beautiful house music at its best.Support for their work has come from artists worldwide. In the US, Tony Humphries, MAW, Terry Hunter, Kerri Chandler, DJ Spen, Brian Tappert and DJ Disciple have all supported their style, while across the Atlantic, Pete Tong, Ben Watt, Aaron Ross, Glyne Braithwaite, Bobby and Steve, Lottie, Sir Piers, Trophy Twins, Rupert and Dream Team have represented the Liquid People sound in the UK.With an impressive discography on labels including MN2S, Yellow(Africanism) Productions, Catch 22, ITH, Shack Music and Defected, Liquid People have also added their remix touch to Talking Heads, Lucy Pearl, Lighthouse Family, All Saints, Kydd & Kango, Basement Boys, Talk Talk, Ashanti, Blondie, Telepopmuzik, Agent Sumo, Zoom, Mint Royale, Blaze and Greg Cerrone to name a few.Liquid People continue to push the boundaries of house music. Their fresh, ever-developing style ensures this duo are a regular fixture on the DJ circuit, where they have wowed crowds from Europe to Asia.
