Hour 1: Darren Adam
Hour 2: Paul Rogers (Sumsonic records - www.sumsonic.com)
Having always been obsessed with music, Paul soon found himself working in the thick of the dance music industry working at 7pm Management & Jackpot Records in 1995. For the two and a half years he was there, he was involved in A&R and DJ management, working along side the likes of Sasha, Digweed, Cox and Howells to name a few. He also became resident on Jackpot?s tours and there weekly night at Subterrania where his final 2-hour sets became legendary. There after he went on to guest all over the country sharpening his skills, before hitting the international club circuit.
Paul also managed Renaissance at one of Ibiza?s superclubs Pacha, then returning back to the U.K working for Ministry of Sound before starting Sumsonic. Since then Paul has been guesting all over the globe, from playing with Danny Tenaglia and Carl Cox at the Dance Star Awards, to over half a million people at the Love Parade in Budapest. Recent plays: Pacha ? Budapest, Roxy - Prague, Spaced Out - Kaula Lumpar . Up and Coming plays in St Petersburg, Greece, U.S.A and South America.
Paul has also become a very talented producer and engineer. Recording under names as Sleepfreaks, Fever, Substructure and Seconds Out, he is currently building a very successful name for himself as an Artist. Paul?s last single ?Krafty? was requested from Deep Dish for there latest Global Underground Album ?Toronto?, with man of the moment G-Pal supplied the remix, which also made it onto the album. It was in Lithuania where the Original mix became famous, where number 1 dj Ignas Vanagas from club Exit played it every week at club for months on end. It was only till Paul visited the club and was told by Ignas to play it and watch what happens, he saw the reaction for himself..
Recent production Light Jockey by the Sleepfreaks (Paul and Mark) has been having lots of support from Bushwacka, whilst the aa side has Strobe Donkey is currently having major support from Nick Warren (number 1 in his chart). Nick Warren also used another recent production of Paul?s (and label partner Chris Gainer) ?Firewire? on his latest Global Underground album, which also was selected for the new Caf? Del Mar album.. Pauls work prior to that was ?Lazy Monday? championed by dj?s Deepdish and Hernan Cattaneo, who were using it for intros to there sets.
Recent collaborations with Grammy nominated Barry Jamieson, from the well known and respected Fluid records and one half of Evolution. Invisible Inc ?Stars?, originally written by Barry, is one of the latest signings from Sumsonic, with number 1 chart positions with Massive Records and Balance US, Paul and Barry delivered the remix, check the website for a preview. Paul has also just completed a new Sleepfreaks remix of Stars with label partner Mark O?Brien, which is being released in May with the very long awaited ambient mix, which has had huge attention from Sasha, and recently been used for the Channel 4 premiere of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
