DIRTY VEGAS BIOGRAPHY:
Paul Harris, Steve Smith and Ben Harris are three lads from Kent and the South London suburbs with very different musical backgrounds, united by a shared love of a good tune and a passion for partying.

Paul Harris started clubbing in his early teens and blagged his first professional DJ gig when he was 17, just before acid house took dance culture mainstream. He gradually began spending more time mixing and making records than playing them, but has continued to be successful as a DJ, now mainly playing the kind of celebrity parties you don't even know about unless you're part of the elite. Which is how he has friends like Helena Christiansen, who appeared in the video for the single Simple Things and later photographed Dirty Vegas for a charity fund-raising exhibition.

A drummer since schooldays, Steve Smith gave up his job in the print trade during the rave explosion when he realised he could make more money playing live percussion in clubs at weekends. By the mid-90s he was playing in a band called Higher Ground, and when the singer left he reluctantly stepped in, discovering with some surprise that he had a fine voice. When the band fell apart he went to Ibiza to write, but then a chance meeting with Paul at an airport on the way to a club event led to a wild weekend, and the idea of making music together.

Ben Harris (no relation to Paul) played guitar in indie rock band Fluid until they did their first demo and he saw how the engineer worked the mixing desk. He got a job in a recording studio, "got bitten by the dance bug", and ended up running a specialist dance record shop in Bromley with his brother, using the profits to build up a studio set-up of their own. After producing a string of successful one-off club tunes he began working with Paul, who a few weeks later bumped into Steve and invited him to join them.

MARTIN TEN VELDEN BIOGRAPHY:
Martijn 'ten out of ten' Velden, 'the Man of the Moment', has by now established himself as a leading DJ/producer on a global level. His innovative and ever changing productions and remixes have been topping dance charts for years and have earned him the respect from jocks like Roger Sanchez, Deep Dish and Steve Lawler. So it comes as no surprise that Martijn was nominated for 'Best Artist' and 'Outstanding Remix' at last year's House Music Awards. Martijn now plays his deep and twisted electro house sets to crowds all over the world. Renaissance in London, Redlight in Paris, Peppermint in Dubai, Godskitchen and M.O.S. are just some of the places you can find Martijn playing or a regular basis. Martijn must be one of the most enthusiastic DJs out there and was noted by Cooljunkie for his energy '..he smiles, he dances and sends out this vibe like he knows what you're feeling while he spins, he's in total harmony with the crowd'. With a renowned background in hip hop and funk, Martijn has crafted his own recognisable sound which is undeniably funky yet tribal with electro overtones.
