DJ DAIKI ( FIERCEHEADS UK )

WARLOCK (RAG & BONE RECORDS)
A DJ refusing to be sucked into any one genre, a typical Warlock set is a new experience every time. A spontaneous mash up of all things dark and bass heavy but above all, big tunes. Expect anything from the contemporary flavas of dubstep, mutant bassline, fidget, funky and electro, to old skool hardcore, acid house and techno.
Beginning his days on legendary London pirate Pulse FM, Warlock was a regular feature on the rave circuit, resident at Labrynth, Helter Skelter and up and down the country playing the likes of The Eclipse, Elevation, Interdance and Universe.
He then became a part of the early London techno scene and would often be found spinning at Knowledge, Eurobeat 2000 and many of the early squat parties put on by Spiral Tribe and Bedlam.
More recently he has graced the decks at Glade, Fabric, Bloc, Bashout, Plex, Yardcore, Trigger, Uglyfunk, Toxic Dancehall and Z-Shed to name but a few.
Today, together with Noyeahno, he runs the uncompromising Rag & Bone label which aside from their own releases has seen cult material being unleashed by the likes of Drop The Lime, King Cannibal, Aaron Spectre Starkey Kanji Kinetic and Stagga.

DJ Clodagh
Watch out for Dj Clodagh… in just over 4 years she has gone from bedroom Dj to having support from one of the most famous Dj’s in the world… Carl Cox!
Clodagh was asked personally by her hero Carl Cox to warm up for him on tour in France in May 2005! Playing to crowds of up to 4,000 people at the amazing “Carl Cox & Friends” parties in Paris & Strasbourg. From rocking the crowd in between Sasha & Carl Cox at the “Inox3 Electronic Music Festival” in Toulouse to warming up for Carl at the famous VIP room at the Cannes Film Festival, she is capable of playing at anytime or any kind of party as her style varies from Electronic to Funky Tech House to Pumping Techno. She started the tour in her home country Ireland, at the Redbox, Dublin on 1st May followed by 6 gigs all over France.
She also played after the no.1 Dj in the world “Tiesto” at the “Autumn Electronic Festival” in Toulouse in September 2005.
This Irish girl has achieved a lot considering she only started Djing in 2001 & along with promoting her own clubnight “Spiritualised” in London, she has also won numerous Dj competitions…
*Cyberdog Hard Trance Dj Competition (2001),
*Trevor Rockcliffe’s Stomp Techno Competition (2004),
*The Ascension Awards House National Dj Comp (2004 where she played at WMF Club, Berlin)
*In 2003 she was chosen in the final 4 out of 300 for the 6 part ITV docu-series “THE JOY OF DECKS”. The idea of the show was to turn 4 up & coming Dj’s into professional DJ’s. There were 4 mentors… Mr.C, Roni Size, Sister Bliss & Tom Middleton. Sister Bliss from Faithless chose Clodagh as her apprentice! It was an amazing experience & achievement for her, as she’d only been Dj’in 2 years!
It was on this show that Carl Cox spotted her high energy & good attitude.
Clodagh is always noted for her high-energy Dj sets and ability to win over any crowd she plays to. She has also rocked crowds in Bulgaria, Germany & Ibiza and headlined gigs in Brazil, the South of France, Poland, Italy, Ireland, Tunisia & Algeria. In 2005 she got her first overseas residency in Tunisia! Clodagh is also the first female Dj to ever play in Algeria!
アイリッシュDJ Clodaghは２００１年からDJを始めた有望DJである。たったの４年間のDJ経験で Carl Cox 本人からサポートを頼まれたという事実からも、彼女の実力は想像できるだろう。
エアロビクスなどを教えるスポーツインストラクターであったClodaghは１９９９年にロンドンに移住してからパーティーシーンと出会う。
２００１年に初めてデッキを手にし、２００１年The Cyberdog Trance DJ Competitionで優勝、 ２００３年ITVテレビのドキュメンタリシリーズ”The Joy Of Decks”のFinal ４に選ばれた実力者。 ２００４年、Trevor Rockcliffe’s Stomp Techno Competition 入賞、

共演経験は豊富でCarl Cox, Tiesto, Sasha, Mr.C, Sister Bliss, Roni Size, Tom Middleton, Hernan Cantanno, Trevor Rockcliffe, Dj Misjah, Ignition Technician, Misstress Barbara, Chris & Aaron Liberator, DAVE the Drummer, Luke Slater, Stacey Pullen, Anderson Noise, Erol Alkan, Headman, Audio Bullys, Tall Paul, Stanton Warriors & Express 2等とも共演した。
