Deja Vue

From original bio... Aug 07 --------- It started in 1988 when I teamed up with the Mix Kid (we were also know as the Parana Brothers for a while - Doug & Dinsdale), we used to do mixing using nothing more sophisticated than a twin tape deck. We would play a snippet from one tape to the other and then another from a different bit of music. This would go on until the mix was completed, the process being known as 'bouncing' Then in 1998 came Sounds From The South. This started as a solo project, after moving back home. Later a friend moved in and we were going to start up together but we ever actually recorded anything together...all that remains is an album that I recorded on my own and another tape of remixes that I did myself. After this nothing musical happened in my life for a number of years until in 2006 by Deja Vue, my third project. This started off by me doing cover songs. In fact I produced six albums worth. As these were never released, they have all been deleted. I then went onto think about some of my other favourite influences like The Art of Noise, Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre, and decided I wanted to move more into the field of playing electro music. The result of this was the album Retro-Electro. A combination of eight styles of electro music including dance, techno, DnB and disco. I finished the album in early August 2007. Around this time I had met up with my old friend The Mix Kid, and although we had remained friends throughout the years, had not colaborated since the early days. After playing a demo of the CD and talking for a while he agreed to join the band. The Mix Kid (DJ Ears, Steve) composes / produces and will be doingthe groove and drum box programming for the band. I still do the remixing as DJ GK and I do my own production work under the name of LHP (Long Hall Productions). Our next step is to get some more tracks ready for a second album and to get managed/promoted and signed to a label" -- Gaz (DJ GK) Deja Vue is currently UNSIGNED and looking for a deal and promotion Oct 07 --------- The Retro-Electro album now complete we have done a deal with AWAL (Artists WIthout A Label) to get the album onto iTunes. We have also been busy and completed 1/2 of the new album which should be released the 2nd week of Nov. Also in November you should be able to find our remix album, this contains mixes of work from the other two albums. At present we have no plans to gig live as we still have a lot of studio and promotion work to do. We are still unsigned although word is now spreading.... we are at the moment numbers 2,7 & 13 in the Beat The Mix charts (www.beatthemix.co.uk) and number 10 on their over all leaderboard Nov 07 ---------- Retro-Electro is now on iTunes. The Ambient EP is completed by the band. This sees a departure into a different field of expression, but not a new direction. The group has also completed half of the tracks for the next album which is now due for release in Jan 08. Also expected in Jan 08 will be the remix album made up of new versions from both the albums and the EP. Dec 07 is expected to to be a quite month but it is hoped that we can get The Ambient EP by the end of the year. The group has now started looking at manufactures and distributors so as they can get 'hard copies' to shops and retailers. This month also saw Long Hall Productions (LHP) move into a new location, thus giving better and greater access to the band for recording further material. Deja Vue still remains unsigned and at this stage has no desire to be signed by a record label as long as distribution can be sorted out. you can also find us on NME's breaking bands, GarageBand and esnips websites
