HAJI, SEAMUS / MOON BOOTS / FUDGE, DJ / DANOU P - [V6] A TOUCH OF LOVE EP 6

Seamus Haji (born 30 December 1968), is a UK record producer, who had a number one on the UK Dance Chart (2007), with Last Night a DJ Saved My Life (an Indeep cover, released 2004). The single originally reached #69, on the UK Singles Chart, #13 upon re-issue (March 2007). He is of Irish, Indian and Iranian descent & has remixed many tracks by other artists, some of which have been promoted as the main version of the track in question. Boogie 2Nite by Booty Luv, which reached number 2, on the UK chart, being one such track. Haji has worked with many of the biggest names in music, including Rihanna, Moby, Mika and, most recently, Emii. He often produces in partnership with Paul Emanuel & together they had a UK Top 75 hit, in 2005, with their cover of True Faith (and Bridgette Grace), with Final Cut's, Take Me Away. Seamus began his DJing career at the tender age of 16 with a London soundsystem playing a mixture of early House, Soul and Hip Hop. With a barrel-full of drive, enthusiasm and determination he went on to secure his first residency at The Satellite and later took on regular guest spots at MOS, Garage City, Release The Pressure, Hard Times and Back To Basics. He then became a regular fixture at the likes of MOS, Code, Bed and Pacha, London. He has also enjoyed numerous residencies around the globe, including the last four years at Pacha, Ibiza where he's gathered an army of fans, possibly something to do with his rather dashing looks as well as his DJing ability of course! Musically his strength is his diversity playing as comfortably alongside, for example, Kenny Dope as Murk. And his sets are now known for the wealth of his own productions and remixes as well as more than a smattering of trickery on the Pioneer CDJ1000's ( for which he is an official ambassador) The trainspotter in you may be aware that Seamus has multiple creative personalities that come in the form of the following monikers: Big Bang Theory - His funked up house personality. A hit with the incredible 'God's Child', released on Defected Records, met with huge critical acclaim and became a commercial success. The follow-up s 'Do U Got Funk?' and "Haven't Been Funked Enough" garnered similar worldwide support and dropped in 2003 and 2004 respectively! Fans include Xpress2, David Morales and Danny Rampling. Mekkah - His soulful, more vocal orientated personality. 'Race Of Survival', the first release on his very own Soul Love label has already become a classic. The second outing 'Found A Love' built on the rep. And the most recent third, 'Dimensions (I'm Happy)', featuring the vocal skills of Stephen Granville once again, is the icing on the cake! Fans include Louie Vega, Jazz-n-Groove & CJ Mackintosh. 11th Dimension - his darker, tougher more futuristic side which sees him collaborate with Paul Emanuel (Club Asylum / Class A , Azuli). Releases so far have been "Beat Goes On", "The Force" and most recently "The Rhythm" with fans such as Future Shock, Peace Division and Jo Mills. Get This! - A cheeky Go-Go/House fusion which has won devotees from such diverse corners as Brandon Block to Layo!! The first Get This! Release, "Ya Underwear", went down so well it was soon followed up with "Work That Sucka" and most recently "Party People" both causing just as much mayhem. Heart & Soul - another moniker which reveals Seamus' deeper side. The debut 'Share Your Love' features Tommy Blaize (Craig David's No 1 backing singer) on vocal & remix from D Ramirez. Winning approval from Tom Stephan, King Unique & the Defmix posse. "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" is the latest single released by Seamus under his own name. He's covered the original '80's club classic in an Electro-house style which has been championed by Djs as diverse as Deep Dish and Steve Lawler to Lucien Foort and the Dreem Team. Seamus has also been getting back into some remixing, notching up great packages for most notably Hardsoul "Back Together","Artificial Funk "Together", Tweet "Boogie 2 Nite" and Stonebridge "Put Em High" in addition to various indie projects. As well as DJing, producing and remixing, the past 10 years have seen Seamus gather a wealth of musical experience and knowledge. Having spent many years working in record shops such as Red Records, Release The Groove and Uptown Records, taking on A&R management roles at Slip 'N' Slide and of course Defected Records, as well as putting on his journalist hat and writing for publications such as Blues & Soul, Echoes, Touch and Muzik, (he currently reviews for the weekly Update) he can't have helped but build up a strong knowledge of all aspects of the industry. Armed with this knowledge, Seamus decided to set up his own record label, Big Love, with Defected Records' ex head honcho Janet Bell. "Big Love is an organic, lo-pressure imprint for quality, club-based international house whereas Soul Love is it's fairly self-explanatory Soul Sister. Both are reflections of where our hearts lie musically and our intention to be INclusive rather than EXclusive. Dance music is way too up its arse and pigeonholed these days!" As if all this wasn't enough, Seamus is pleased to be back on the air with his ratings-grabbing Ministry of Sound radio show. And in light of guest mixes on Radio 1, Kiss 100, Galaxy and Ministry Of Sound , it's about time too! Seamus Haji has become synonymous with quality, his DJ sets are nearing legendary, he's a technical wizard and his productions are phenomenal. His star is in the ascendant for 2005.

Moon Boots and Pete Dougherty are technically the same person, but in many ways, the two couldn’t be more different. The former is a globe-trotting extrovert whose genre-hopping (but always funky) DJ sets reliably fill dancefloors around the world. The latter is a relatively shy dude with a studio tan who has been geeking out on synths since he was a teenager. Born in Brooklyn, Pete spent his adolescence in the suburbs. Early formative musical memories include MFSB’s “Love Is The Message” at block parties and years jamming to Daft Punk in the barn with a blacklight on. Pete moved to Chicago after college. The city transformed Pete and after a few years playing in the band Hey Champ, Moon Boots was born with series of releases for French Express. Quickly leveling up his craft, Pete signed with Anjunadeep and moved back to Brooklyn. When Moon Boots hits the booth, he’s got one mission: to give you the best night of your life. Whether playing at iconic clubs like Chicago’s Smart Bar — where he cut his teeth watching legends like Frankie Knuckles and Derrick Carter — or the world’s biggest festival stages, he gives people a release they’ll remember long after the party’s over. Born in Brooklyn, Moon Boots’ (birth name: Pete Dougherty) musical obsession started not long after he could walk. His early love of piano lead to a passion for keyboards and synthesizers. Teenage nights lost in the work of Daft Punk, A Tribe Called Quest and Herbie Hancock followed. Then came college years at Princeton University, where he shelved an Engineering degree to dive into the musical abyss. Knowing what he was meant to do, he moved to the house music epicenter of Chicago, where he tirelessly passed out demos to local DJs and scoured the web for like-minded people with whom he could share and expand on his sound. He played in a synth-pop trio whose demo caught the attention of Lupe Fiasco, and after a stint touring alongside the hip-hop icon, Dougherty went back to DJing with a renewed focus. The stars aligned when he had a chance encounter with Perseus, founder of an adventurous new label, French Express. A fellow junkie and fan of French House and R&B-infused dance music, Perseus became a friend and mentor, the Splinter to Boots' Donatello. The label eventually disbanded but Boots has stayed true to his mission of making dance tracks that can’t be confined to one style. Pete blends the music he loves -- jazz, house, funk and soul -- into songs that last longer than their runtime. Songs not just for DJs, but for everyone. His debut album, First Landing, arrived in 2017, and was followed two years later by Bimini Road. Emphasizing melody while blending elements of house, disco, soul and R&B, both records were widely embraced. A third album is on the horizon, as is a tantalising revamped live show.
