This month see's Trance legend Jon O'Bir headlining. From starting in his bedroom he was mixing at Godkitchen within a year after winning a DJ comp. From then he has gone from strength to strength DJing all over the world. The last couple of years have been incredibly succesful for him starting with him appearing on the world famous Essential Mix and then being offered a place on Radio 1’s new show The Residency, joining the likes of Eddie Halliwell and Nic Fancuilli in the world famous Radio 1 studios. This gave him a great lift and extended his name to a new fan base across the globe and also led to him playing at the massive club Space, in Ibiza.

Jon’s love for Trance allowed him to create his own record label ‘Conspiracy Recordings’ alongside up & coming U.K producer Rob 'Activa' Stevenson. The label has been a huge success with virtually every release receiving great support from all the big jocks and tracks being included on Tiesto’s and Armin van Buuren’s mix compilations. 2006 also was the year of Jon’s 1st 2 solo productions ‘Effectual’ and the massive ‘Ascendancy’ which went down a storm in club land.

2007 is set to be another action packed year for the Nottingham born DJ and producer, producer being the key word in 2007 as he starts to smash out the top quality productions and a surprise artist album due for release in May 07 that will surely push Jon O’Bir to greater things.

Joining Jon are Gary Proud, Dave Little, Lee Taylor, Lee Pennington, Paul Bowen, Gow & Sean Peacock.

Gary Proud is one of the driving forces behind Goodgreef's very sucessful Junior G night in Newcastle. After what has been a very good year for them he has helped the night, having some of the biggest names in Trance play alongside him. A firm favourite with Junior G crowd his abilty and style has fans following him wherever he goes. After recently playing in Poland he has been asked to play at Mayhem too.

Dave Little has a great amount of experience behind him. Being very diverse in his style he has held residencies at Liquid, Affinty, Mayhem, *Riff Raff, Pacific, Native & Goodgreef. He is incredibly popular in the Middlesbrough area and always peforms to the best of his abilty. He also recently aquired a EFX1000 unit which he is mastering and will be using this for his set for Digitized.

Lee Taylor is an extremely talented DJ. After playing a very popular and succesful debut at Mayhem in Middlesbrough, they asked him to come back and play alongside John O'Callaghan and become one of their residents. Digitzed had no worries in making him a resident and he shook the walls when he made his debut in January. Lee was also behind the Affinty night in Stockton which showcased a lot of new talent. He has quite a following in Middlesbrough and will no doubt increase that following over the next year.

Lee Pennington, Paul Bowen & Gow are the members of Middlesbrough's most popular Clubnight, *Riff Raff. The night is massive and always brings in a capicity crowd playing alongside some of the biggest DJ's in the Progressive & Tech House Scene. Lee is also a member of Source Of Gravity Recordings and helps Chris Sterio run the succesfull label which sees support from the worlds leading DJ Paul Van Dyk. Paul Bowen has had numerous releases on various labels and sees his productions played by the likes of Hernan Cattaneo and Anthony Pappa. Lee also is no stranger to productions having clocked up 41 releases on different labels under his own name and his Section 75 alias. DJ Gow is the new kid on the block for *rr and is seeing his productions being played by the likes of Audiojack and James Talk. Their debut at Digitzed last month had the place rocking, so no doubt this will happen again.

Sean Peacock aka Serlait Lota is avery talented DJ who has played for the likes of *Riff Raff, Suede & Kill The Disco. He has now been booked to play at Goodgreef's Junior G night. Very popular with the Middlesbrough crowd his unique style will not dissapoint.
