JAY SHEPHEARD
(Diynamic, Retrofit, Compost, Buzzin' Fly)
Since starting his own Retrofit imprint Jay Shepheard has firmly stamped his mark on Electronic Music. The label has become a go to for quality sounds giving Jay the platform to explore full and floorworthy sound that perks the interest of house, disco and techno fans alike.
Recently getting back into vinyl, his live/DJ sets are much anticipated showcases of Jay's tastes, where a dusty 90s garage record sits comfortably next to his own fresh productions, live favourites and todays floor fillers.
Following a long background in music from playing in high school bands to working in music PR and several years working at UK online music store Juno, Jay Shepheard first arrived on the scene in 2007 with the release of his debut EP "Black Label #19" on Compost.
Strong DJ support for the EP gave Jay a good profile straight off the bat, which was built upon nicely with the follow-up EPs "Black Label 28", released in December 07 and "Black Label 34" in June 08. These first EPs received critical acclaim from DJs, music lovers and the press alike and earned Jay a nomination for Best Deep House act of 2007 in the Beatport Music Awards.
Now, over three years since the debut, Jay Shepheard is firmly established as a leading player in the new wave of electronic music. In 2008 and 2009 Jay was branching out from his home label at Compost to release original productions and remixes on high profile labels including Diynamic, Four:Twenty, Glimpse and Juno. These releases have consistently found thier way into the best seller lists of all the major stores as well as the charts of A list DJs.
In 2010 Jay launched his own label imprint Retrofit. With an ear for the past and an eye on the future the label will marry classic electronic musical themes of acid house, disco, vintage techno and anything in between with current dance floor sound and concepts. The first release, a 4 tracker from Jay, was released in Febuary 2010 and was followed by some hot collaborations to follow later in the year.
Outside of the studio Jay has also built a reputation in the booth, playing both DJ and live sets all over Europe in some of the leading venues including Fabric in London, Goa in Madrid, Watergate in Berlin and Monza in Frankfurt to name just a few. Outside of Europe Jay regularly tours Australia taking in shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane....

FRIDGE MAGNETS live
PLEASE NOTE 1030pm DOORS
With huge Radio 1 support for tracks, Feeling Grows, Weapon and Death of Rock ‘N’ Roll, the latter of which was played several times thanks to an eye catching video that has become a bit of a minor hit on Youtube, Fridge Magnets are marching toward big things.
Recently playlisted by Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac, the band are now on a new level.
The last few months have been particularly busy with picking up ‘Best Electronic Act’ at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards beating off strong competition from the likes of Rustie (nmbrs), playing the Big Beach Ball main stage and toured London's most famous venues.
Described by many as “a mash up of Calvin Harris and Deadmau5 with elements of Example and Faithless”. Front man Steve Winton never fails to get the crowd going and his professional and consistent front man performances backed up by the musical talents of Ciaran Pasi (bass), Laurie Sanderson (lead guitar), Chris Philip (drums) and Campbell Nelson (synthesizer/programming) never disappoint.

James Fox
South London based James Fox has quickly established himself as a producer and DJ that blends the jack and groove of the rawest deep house with the soundsystem bass pressure of the UK underground.
His debut 12” release ‘Put It Back’ on TAKE Records caught the ear of those in the know, receiving support from DJs as diverse as Fabric’s Terry Francis and Rinse FM’s Alexander Nut. Follow up release ‘New Jack Swing’ on Brighton’s Well Rounded Housing Project was billed by many as the tune of summer 2011; blending a classic R&B vocal with deep bass hits and pitchbent synths, it received heavy rotation from DJs like Martyn, Midland, Jackmaster and Julio Bashmore throughout the year.
An experienced DJ, Fox is equally at home either warming up, playing at peak time or closing the night . His tightly mixed and imaginatively programmed sets have been heard at venues such as The CAMP, Corsica Studios, Glasgow Art School and Sankey’s Soap, as well as the main room at secretsundaze’s epic NYE 2011 party alongside Kyle Hall, Âme and Levon Vincent.
With 2012 promising a series of collaborations with some of UK house music’s brightest talents and follow up 12”s for both Well Rounded and TAKE Records, James Fox is at the forefront of a new breed of producers and DJs taking house music into the 21st century.
