About Me


What they say . . .

"Just got this through & have to say I love it. Noir's mix is as rocking as the Original & I will fully support!" – Paul Emmanuel (Haji & Emmanuel)

"Mate that remix is wicked - really like it!!" – Micky Slim

"Lovin the Definition track, proper main room club material!! Will most definitely support.. the NOIR mix is fooooooookin AWESOME !!!... love his rework.. proper dirty filthy electro house." 10/10 – Kid Massive

"Played this at Gatecrasher Sheffield on Saturday mate and it rocked. The Noir mix is bad ass." 9/10 – Rob Wilder (Hed Kandi)

"This is ace mate. Will be playing the original mix, much meatier and a fuller feel" – Stuart Miller (Deviant DJs)

"Still at uni, they should have more important things to do than make big, whoomping electro tracks. You know, like drink cheap lager and watch way too much telly! Instead, they've done 'Definition', which sounds like a soon-to-be-successful, commercial electro house record. 7/10" – One Week to Live


Tastemaking time . . .

Hailing from London, UK, Tastemakers are one of the hottest upcoming dance production/DJ outfits of recent times. They formed in early 2006 and are on the sharp uprise gathering interest from many of the UK's leading dance labels, including national airplay on BBC Radio 1. Their debut track 'Definition' was first spotted as an unsigned cut by Radio 1's very own Fergie who played it as his track of the week on 26th August 2006. The pace gathered with the track and a month later it was snapped up by Born to Dance Records in Brighton. The track gets a full UK release on 11th December 2006 with the very awesome Noir remix and is being championed by all the big name DJs. It has been licensed on for release in Europe which will be happening early 2007. Digital download promo copies of 'Definition' are now available on the main download sites. The duo are currently at work on an album project, as well as finding time to DJ around the world and undertake remix duties. Their current remix credits include:

'Slow' – Chungking (Tastemakers Remix) – Institute

'I'm Too Sexy 2007' – Right Said Fred (Tastemakers Radio Edit & Club Mix) – Gut Records

'Perfect (Exceeder)' – Mason (Tastemakers Dub & Vocal Dub) – Data Records

'Not Over Yet' – Carnival (Tastemakers Remix) – Data Records

'Where Do We Go' – Strobe (Tastemakers Remix) – Koch Records (USA)

'Rock All Night' – Hydraulic Dogs (Tastemakers Remix) – Metrogroove Records


Small clip of the Tastemakers remix of Mason's Exceeder on MoS TV playing in the background during an interview with Pete Tong - nice!
