Rich
Evans Manager 'BJ's 'Bahrain "The best guest DJ we've
ever had"
With talent and
determination Emma Feline has achieved international status and
recognition as a leading urban DJ. She began mixing UK Garage
in 1997 and has been playing Hip Hop and R&B since 2000.
Her precise mixing, formidable selection and versatile style
works any crowd into a frenzy, and her record box has been a
passport to jet set around the world. From India to America,
Estonia to Barbados, Dubai to Ibiza, the list goes on.
Her career
literally began overnight when DJ Funky Smith asked if she wanted
to stand in for him at Bar Code in London. Even though Emma had
only been shown the ropes a week before, she went for it and
was immediately offered a weekly residency. She quickly
joined forces with Lynda Phoenix, another female DJ who shared
her passion for music. The duo made their radio debut a few weeks
later after blagging the Sunday 6am- 8am slot on pirate radio
London Underground. Within a year they were promoted to
Sunday afternoon and set up London's Most Wanted, an all girl
DJ collective that became of great interest to the media. Guest
appearances with Steve Jackson, The Dreem Teem, and Woman's hour
on Radio 4, newspaper and magazine features in The Guardian,
Time Out, Evening Standard, DJ Magazine and Touch along with
T.V interviews and documentaries on Channel 4 and MTV gave the
exposure needed to secure bookings at many high profile UK events
including a residency with Twice As Nice at The End.
During 1999
Upfront FM was the pirate du jour, and Emma was one of their
flagship DJ's.n 2002 she joined London's No 1 for Hip Hop and
R&B Choice FM (owned by Capital) to host the Wednesday night
'Raw Selection', and in January 2004 her musical knowledge and
presenting skills were rewarded with promotion to a Sunday daytime
show.
When London
Most Wanted split Emma began touring the USA three times a year,
building up a faithful following in New York, Baltimore, North
Carolina, Washington DC, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Miami, Gainesville,
Seattle, LA and Dallas, where she is hailed as a major pioneer
of UK Garage and 2 Step. During these trips she would hunt down
the latest Hip Hop and R&B records before their UK release.
Not just a
talented DJ, Emma Feline turned her skills to the studio, producing
and remixing tracks under the alias of London's Most Wanted,
Fierce and Funky and Tombraider and setting up her own label
'Stereotherapy' - The gold selling compilation 'Twice as Nice,
Urban Flava's was one of the largest selling urban compilation's
ever - being expertly mixed mixed by Emma and Steve Sutherland,
and featuring her own productions 'Indian Summer'. With
her fingure on the pulse of a vibrant UK Emma was also approached
by Tense Magazine in 2003 to write her own column. The aptly
named 'Decks in the City' is bursting with candid stories, collected
on her DJ travels, and she took the concept with her when she
was asked to join Touch Magazine in 2005.

When you look
at the list of achievements of BeXta Australia's No1 female DJ
and possibly the most successful dance music producer in the
countries history, you wonder how she has done it all. And when
you ask BeXta that question, this quietly spoken talent admits
she feels she hasn't even started. Which makes it all the more
cool.
BeXta has
had 8 single releases to date, including a 5-star international
anthem (quoted by Radio One, BBC London, and DJ Mag UK), called
'One For The Road. She's release one EP - the Skirmish LIVE EP,
which entered the ARIA singles charts in 1999, and an album,
Conversations with ones and zeroes. The album reached number
8 on the ARIA independent album charts, which was released on
her own label in Australia - a notable achievement for a dance
music producer in this country achieving all of that? On
top of her own releases BeXta began the DJ compilation series,
'Mixology', in 2000, and we are just about to be hit with number
9 in the series, which she is introducing her first international
DJ to accompany her on the comps - Brooklyn Bounce. This
collaboration will surely propel and Bexta's production career
to a much wider international stage - a long running objective
of this personable and determined DJ.
As well as the release of
'Mixology 9' , BeXta has embarked on a project to introduce new
talent into the industry, with the development of her label,
now called Mixology Digital Records. This will feature new artists,
as well as her own material, that will also be remixed by internationals
and also herself. The label will feature collaborations BeXta
has done with international artists, including Public Domain,
Dave Joy and Vandertraxx. MDR will be entering the online download
domain www.mixologydigitalrecords.com/ But vinyl junkies rest
assured there will a be a vinyl release to launch the label,
which will be available internationally, and will feature a new
BeXta track, and will introduce 2 of her new artists - Steve
Black and TyDi.
The exceptionally
talented Joyce Mercedes is considered possibly the best female
progressive house DJ in the world - we can't argue with that,
her mixing and selection is some of the very finest in the style
we have heard here at Sparkle and she has righly shared centre
stage with the big guns; Sasha, Anthony Pappa, James Holden,
Paul van Dyk, Chris Fortier & Derrick May. Her flawless choice
of records shows a nose for a quality tune and her exceptional
mix technique takes the dance floor from easy and accessible
vocal harmonies through deep and funky foot food to deep, trippy
and hypnotic beats, soaring to stunning prog trance monsters
- a spectacular set that evidences a diverse musical vocabulary
From her birthplace in Nijmegen
Joyce began work as a dancer for leading organizations Pantera
and Extension, later moving to Amsterdam and performing with
her dance colleagueon the Strycker & Holmes World Tour a
sparkling dance show in some of the most famous clubs in the
World. Her passion for music lies in her dancing as well as her
singing. In the not to distant past Joyce was part of “Centerfold”,
the group that sang in 1998 to a sold out Amsterdam Arena during
half time of the classic football game Ajax-PSV Eindhoven . “Centerfold”
also added lustre to the 15th year anniversary of Playboy and
Joyce worked regularly as a model, featuring in campaigns for
Heineken, Campari, Gap-Star and Playboy.
Not being
content with success in two fields Joyces passion for music drove
her to invest in turntables and master the art of mixing. Her
first performance before an audience took place in sunny Miami
at a private party and very soon word spread and the bookings
started to roll in, culminating in a DJ residency at the well
known Amsterdam Superclub and a 2-year tour with Ibiza's Space
World Tour to crown it all off. At this moment Joyce has
performed in almost every major club in mainland Europe, North
and South America as well as many in the Far East..

London born singer/songwriter and DJ Maxine Hardcastle
is not restrained by genre, having written soulful/ funky house
tracks for Hed Kandi and The Ministry of Sound as well as a number
of smooth jazz releases, reaching #1 on the US Billboard chart.
It would be difficult not to claim that music runs
thought her veins - her father, the legendary 80s popster Paul
Hardcastle, made his mark revolutionising the sound of pop with
the record '19', with subsequently Simon Fuller named the company
'19 Management'. Mr. Hardcastle continues to dominate the American
charts with countless hit albums. If that wasn't enough to claim
artistic heritage, Maxine's brother Paul Jr. is a saxophonist
and songwriter who is currently jamming to the loyal dance music
crowds of Ibiza. Louis Hardcastle, her grandfather, was a credible
jazz / soul musician performing his way around the world until
the fine age of 80.
So it's no
surprise that Maxine has spent her
youth immersed in all things musical, finding time also to .
train in classical, ballroom and Latin dancing and gaining a
diploma in theater arts at the famed 'Italia Conti Academy'.
She sang in the Spice Girls Movie, danced on S-Club television,
appearing in the series I-Dream, and sang live at the Royal Albert
Hall as well as co-writing and performing on 'Hardcastle 4' -
and all that before the age of 18! Maxine has concentrated
on writing and producing her own solo material, teaching herself
digital music production and setting up her own studio, and teaching
herself a professional music program. From an early age
she was determined to become musically self-sufficient and be
able to be involved involved in each step of making music.
Maxine wrote her first house track 'It's Gonna
Happen' in 2007, which was snapped up by global label/club brand
Hed Kandi, released on the 'Summer Sampler' and 'Beach House
2007', following up with 'Another Chance' to Wez Clarke's instrumental
on which she also played keyboards. The track smashed dancefloors
everywhere and Hed Kandi obliged again for her second signing,
releasing the track on several albums including 'A Winters Taste',
'Kandi Lounge', 'Beach House 2008', 'Live Verbier' and 'American'
Ministry of Sound Album. Established producer Richard Earnshaw
provided a remix on further albums. Two further tracks were signed
with Hed Kandi proving very successful - 'Walking With A Smile',
originally written by Maxine as a soul/funk number, was remixed
by Wez Clarke into the catchy house track that now features on
several albums. 'Bringing Me Back', was released on the 'Beach
House 2009' album and several albums Stateside. The 'Mr. Vasovski
Mix' was released on Discopolis records and featured on 'Born
To Dance Presents Essential House Miami Twenty Ten'. Maxine
performs her tracks live in venues all over the world, including
Pacha London, Pacha Lithuania, Russia and The Maldives.
As Miss Hardcastle breezed through the audition
for dance/pop sensation 'Alice DJ' her work with other producers
at Violent Music sparked a fascination with Ableton Live throwing
her headlong into the world of digital DJing. Composing her own
remixes/bootlegs she showcased her favourite house and electro
tracks to audiences weaving her live vocal talents into her set.
Maxine may be relatively new blood on the DJ scene but she has
already sparked a lot of industry interest - not many DJs we
know leave the decks looping and get down onto the floor to sing
in the crowd.
Recent highlights include touring for 'Pink Poison'
in Lithuania, as well as appearances at Egg London, Kuredu Island
Maldives, Dreamers Marbella, Dance Crusade festival, Mac Store
Regent Street, The National Polo Championships 'Sandbanks Rocks'
alongside Dane Bowers and Brandon Block, and has played beside
Kiss 100 DJs and Ibiza Residents and has billed at highly respected
club nights Dance Aid, Blow, Miss Moneypennies, Wired, Be Somebody,
Femme Fatale, DiscoTech, MotherFunkers, Pukka Up, Undetected,
Dirtbox, Tutti-Frutti, and the Thursday Night Project
Away from
the decks and dance scene Maxine
finds relaxation from the hard beats and hectic life of a DJ
by writing accoustic, easy listening music. She has co-written
and performed on several of her fathers #1 smooth jazz albums
and recently co-wrote and sang the track 'A Different Kind Of
Love' with American artist Nate Harasim, voted 'Up and Coming
Smooth Jazz artist of the Year. The track features on his album
which is due to be released shortly.
