Tilt makes their debut on the Broadcast! – Coming soon a swathe of new material from pioneers Tilt. After the success of "The World Doesn't Know" earlier this year, a new single "Twelve" is penciled in for a December release. Followed by the big event, an album due in January

Back in the day, Tilt originally began with Mick Parks and Mick Wilson, in Coventry, England. The focal point in the early days was a club called Eclipse; the first club in the UK to get a late license and successfully move the rave ‘indoors’ into the club context that we know today. They became resident djs and it was here that they met Sasha, who proved to be a great inspiration for the boys and gave them the confidence to go on and produce their own material. Their work as a duo (Parks and Wilson) has a long and successful history as both DJs and music producers.

They met John Graham, another like-minded Coventrian and set up a band called Tilt in 1993 as a production outfit. They signed to Paul Oakenfold’s Perfecto label and the big break came in 1996 with ‘I Dream’ a top 40 hit in the UK. Other tracks were to follow in the success, such as 'My Spirit' and 'Places' and in 1999 Tilt recorded 'Rendezvous' with Paul Van Dyk. Its inclusion on the record breaking Oakenfold Tranceport US CD brought the sound of Tilt to a North American audience.

The Perfecto deal ran its course and soon they were signed Red Jerry's Hooj Choons, where they had more success; one of the more successful tracks being 'Invisible’ (a tune recorded with Dom Atkins a.k.a. Grace on vocals), which went top 20. More underground tracks such as 'What's This' and 'The Seduction of Orpheus' followed, both of which featured heavily on dance compilations.

John Graham left Tilt in 2002 to concentrate on his Quivver project and Tilt became a duo again. After leaving Hooj Tilt released two further EPs "Headstrong" and "Left Of Centre" which built on their darker, edgier sound.

Mick Park had done a lot of work with a young producer/dj Andy Moor` who is known for solo work and also for collaborations such as Leama and Moor, Sworn and Whiteroom. The combination of Mick, Mick and Andy worked so they decided to produce more songs together and subsequently the 24 year old joined Tilt. In 2004 they signed to Lost Language for an album called "Explorer".

Harry Lemon returns to the Broadcast! – Harry Lemon aka LEMON8 has been a DJ for quite some time now, whilst producing a soundtrack of a generation at the same time. Model8 - his first ever produced track - is considered to be a classic by many and still sounds fresh today even though it saw it's first release in 1993. The same goes for The Bells Of Revolution, which he created in 1995.

As a DJ he became a household name in Holland and abroad, playing the most influential clubs and parties. With all those influences gathered during his 15 years experience as a DJ, he could never be pinpointed to one particular style. His sets were - and still are - raw and eclectic. Moving from club to techno, from progressive to breaks, with the ever-constant denominator of funk. Mind you, not that many people know he once started out as DJ Funkateer before transforming himself into Lemon8 in 1993.

From 1999 on, he's been more productive than all the years of music making before. Prior to the successful 'The Inner Sanctuary Sessions', he barely released more than one track every other year, even though they've become instant classics. The Inner Sanctuary Sessions however, are a prime example of an artist who keeps reinventing himself. Following the second progressive wave, late 1999, he managed to create almost an entirely instant recognizable genre within a genre.

Today he's considered to be one of the most prolific DJ/Producers this day and age. Ever changing and evolving, Lemon8 has become synonymous with quality. Almost like a trademark, you can see the name Lemon8 on a variety of record sleeves by the best dance labels around across the globe and he's definitely become one of the top remixers in the world. For the past three years he did some 35 remixes for labels ranging from Australia to Switzerland and from the UK to the US. After releasing 'Lose Control' on Bedrock, his single 'New York, New York' has become the best selling record of late 2002 in his native Holland and, again, became an instant classic worldwide.

In 2003 Harry released his album called 'The Inner Sanctuary Sessions'. The album contains 20 original tracks and remixes from a 2-year period and proves the fact that he's not only an outstanding producer, but an excellent DJ as well. It even won him the 'Cool Award' for Best Album as voted by Cool Magazine readers in South America where he came out on top beating John Digweed, Satoshi Tomiie and even Coldplay.

In 2004 he founded Bandung records with the crew from Armada Music and the first release called 'Sanctuary' by Origene was an instant success topping the charts worldwide. At this time Harry Lemon is busy doing studio work for new tracks and playing records in all corners of the world.

And did you know that...

...Harry’s parents are a half Indonesian, half British Father and a Dutch mother.

...He lives in Rotterdam, Holland.

...Lemon is his true surname, but Harry is not. It's Henry actually.

...Harry worked with Tiesto in a record shop for several years.

...Harry's favorite artists are: Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Gustav Holst.

James Holden joins the Broadcast! – James Holden is far from your average DJ-producer. With his can’t-be-arsed-to-make-an-appointment-with-my-hairdresser shaggy hair and vintage Judas Priest t-shirts (with authentic holes) he sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the clean-cut shorthaired bloke’s bloke DJs whose unremarkable faces adorn the pages of the dance music press. (“I don’t trust anyone who is cleaner than myself!†jokes James).

2003’s collaboration with vocalist Julie Thompson, “Nothingâ€, was picked up by legendary UK house label Loaded, yet proclaimed by trance legend Tiesto to be his tune of the year. James has remixed everything from Crosstown Rebels electro-house to Positiva dance-pop; New Order to Britney Spears; Timo Maas dirty breaks to System 7 psy-trance; fast-rising young upstart Nathan Fake to Kirsty Hawkshaw’s timeless classic “Fine Dayâ€. Meanwhile “A Break in the Cloudsâ€, the debut release on his own Border Community label, has become an underground European techno classic, still selling by the thousand a whole year after release, making its way onto compilations from Marco Bailey and Monika Kruse, and winning Holden a firm following amongst the ever forward-thinking German dance fraternity.

James’ own DJ sets embrace the same spirit of eclecticism as his productions, uniting his own tracks and remixes with acid house, techno, electro and down tempo melodies, as demonstrated on last year’s groundbreaking Balance 005 mix CD. “Aphex Twin doing Ferry Corsten up the bum†is James’ current (rather unsavoury) description of choice. On the borders of everything yet at the same time accessible enough to be slap bang in the middle of it all, Holden’s own steadfast musical vision and his often-unorthodox fusion of tracks, which the purists have traditionally grouped, into distinct genres have won him dedicated followers the world over. One of a handful of young DJs who have been allowed to rise up the ranks in recent years whose age bears more relation to that of the majority of club punters, the coming year promises business as usual, taking in every corner of Europe, a tour of Australia and Asia and regular trips to the USA.

James’ sets are always topped off with a huge helping of previously unheard fresh young production talent, many of whom have found a home on his Border Community label. In just one year the label has gained a reputation as a breeding ground for similarly free-spirited genre-benders, with every release fusing solid dance floor rockers with leftfield ambient interpretations and handy dj tools. “Border Community is my favourite thing that I do at the moment,†says James. “It is really rewarding seeing the young artists we release go on to do great things.†Names like Nathan Fake, Petter and The MFA are now following James’ lead and already beginning to leave their own unique indelible imprints on the production world. James is also keen to take his troop of multi-talented live acts and DJs on the road with him, bringing the Border Community road show to a town near you.

Still only 25 years old, James Holden now finds himself exactly where he wants to be. As the digital producer par excellence he is blazing a trail through as yet uncharted territory, showing those who follow in his wake how it can, and should, be done. As a DJ he gets to travel the world, surprising and delighting in equal measures, and enlarging his band of followers at every port of call. And at the helm of his own buzz label Border Community he is proving himself to be quite the A&R man, discovering like-minded souls to help turn his musical vision into reality and peddling something a little different to the record-buying public. Underlying the three components of the James Holden recipe for success is an unerring belief in his own vision and a refusal to do things the way others tell him they always have been done. He is well into the process of carving out a niche all of his very own, and is not about to let anyone stop him now.
