During this time Jo's played her trademark of solid percussive, sexy, twisted house music with soul,' alongside some of the best DJs in the world (David Morales, Sneak, Terry Farley, Deep Dish, Paul Oakenfold, Tony Humphries...) She's also gained a pretty credible fan club, which includes the likes of Pete Tong, who's just bestowed the honour of an Essential Mix for Radio One upon her and Danny Tenaglia, who personally invited Jo to guest at his night, Be Yourself at New York's Vinyl club in 2000.

Her reputation as one of the nice lasses in the business is down to not only her talent and no nonsense attitude but also her ability to get right on down and mucky with the rest of us on the dancefloor. And you'd expect nothing less from someone who's about to get hitched to the maddest of them all Charlie Chester and someone who hangs around with Dave Beer, (just don't ask her what his nick name for her is!)

James Lavelle
Mo Wax Records

The James Lavelle musical revolution has gone full circle and that big wheel just keeps on turning.

James founded Mo' Wax Records in 1993 taking the Lavelle musical approach to even greater heights with the release in 1996 of DJ Shadow's seminal 'Entroducing', a record that turned music on its head and catapulted Mo' Wax into the spotlight as never before. James says simply 'It changed everythig'.

Like the rest of us, it was the parental record collection that switched James Lavelle on to music, early Lavelle sets included the likes of Stevie Wonder and Deep Purple, an eclectic mix that was an embryonic blueprint both for James Lavelle as a DJ and for his label Mo' Wax; good tunes are good tunes - the genre doesn't matter.

DECEMBER 4TH and 6TH
DJ BERT BEVANS

Bert's mixing prowess is legendary and he is well respected in the music industry for the contributions he has made as a producer, remixer, and promoter. His spiritual interpretation of rhythm and his unceasing passion for music is the driving force behind his longevity within the music industry.

This legendary DJ's big break came at Studio 54, New York City's illustrious nightclub. The NY disco scene was in full swing, Howard Stein opened Xenon's, the Mudd club was hot, and the Playboy Club was still kickin'. He got jobs playing at New York's various clubs including residencies at Playboy Club, Pippins, Xenon's, Bond's, Mudd Club, and Infinity.

Burt began doing remixes in London. He was asked to remix the 12-inch "Lies" for the Thompson Twins, which became a Top 10 hit in England and US. This led Bert to becoming the first ever resident at Ministry of Sound London. After that came a variety of remixes for the Style Council, Level 42, Paul McCartney, Duane Eddy, Chic, Depeche Mode, Terumasa Hino, Big Audio Dynamite, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Luther Vandross, Omar, and a host of others.

Bert Bevans exclusive Bangkok performance was suitably at Q Bar.
