Biography
The London DJ circuit is tough cookie to crack. There are about 6 million wannabe DJs – 90% armed with their latest HMV recommendations and regular Monday night slots at faux-American theme bars and cardboard Gastro pubs, 10% who actually have a clue. Because making it in London is not just about talent or how upfront your record collection is, it’s about having the right personality and knowing how to make your own luck.
Paul Louth knows this, and it’s why he is one of the most prominent names on the London circuit. Having held down a 3-year residency with Prologue (two years at The Cross, one at The Egg, and quoted in DJMag as “the ultimate club night for people who want a good night out with a credible music policy”), he’s enjoyed one of the most sought after jobs in the capital. In fact, while most DJs would swap their mint condition original pressing of Marshall Jefferson’s ‘Move Your Body’ for the chance to play five minutes at The Cross, Paul played there every month for two years. Few DJs can boast that on their CV. Prologue promoter Harvey actually offered Paul his first gig after hearing one of his mix CD’s, then promptly snapped him up as main room resident after that very gig.
I offered Paul his residency at Prologue after his first gig as not only did he rock it, says Harvey, but he also showed huge potential for the future – it’s a decision I’m glad I made.
It’s little surprise really. Having run Wire (the official Bedrock pre-party) for two years, John Digweed invited Paul to record a guest mix for his Kiss FM show. But Paul’s quick to ditch the prog house associations a pre-party for Bedrock might enlist. A fan of the minimal sound championed by the likes of Magda, Richie Hawtin and Luciano, Paul plays a sharp mix of underground house and techno. The kind of filthy sordid carry on that has not only won him gigs at Fabric and a raft of London gigs (The End, Bedrock, Canvas, Junktion, etc), but as far a field as Miami (where he was featured in the April 2003 issue of DJmag), New York, Poland, Sweden, Spain, Norway, Serbia and Turkey. That’s not to mention his two-year residency on Groovetech.com radio and his current ‘Wire presents’ show on ProtonRadio.com (every 2nd and 4th Monday if you were wondering).
Yet for Paul, it’s not about being the next superstar DJ. He understands that maintaining a high-profile residency in London is always going to be his top priority – it’s the place where you have the most freedom to experiment and develop as a DJ. As Harvey recognises, it’s Paul’s flexible approach and positive attitude that makes him one of the most outstanding residents on the London club circuit. So whether he’s playing a supporting role or headlining, as the Prologue faithful will tell you, they don’t come much better than Paul Louth.

Biography
After making an initial splash with their much feted remix of JL Henney – Me & My Moog (FINE) in Spring 2005, Cass & Mangan got to work. Their unique take on electronic music has resulted in their remixes and original productions worming their way into the boxes & charts of DJ’s including… Laurent Garnier, Erol Alkan, Sasha, Kiki, Mike Monday, Jo Jo de Freq, Paul Woolford, Tiefschwarz, Rob Da Bank, Annie Mac (Radio 1), Fergie (Radio 1), Lee Burridge, John Digweed, Tim Sheridan, Geddes and simply too many others to mention…
Cass & Mangan are Cass and Tom Mangan. The pair met through the grapevine in 2003 and started cobbling together electronic inventions to play around and about. iknowuknow (WALL OF SOUND) was their first release in 2004 – a glorious piece of early morning vocal wizardry described as ‘…beautiful…’ by Ali Tiefschwarz.
The sound that escapes from this pair is a fusing of two minds; a grungy fizzing mixture of old and new technologies, embracing as much the analogue sounds of yesteryear as the current flavour for digital distortion.
Since their explosive start, the duo have gone from strength to strength, remixing Tiefschwarz (FINE), Daisy Daisy (SUNDAY BEST) & Royksopp (WALL OF SOUND). With the excellent Caper on PLAYTIME and their well lubricated version of I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On for SAW in the US, they’ve rapidly built a reputation as producers of the highest quality. All this and they have still found time to DJ all over the world.
They have already taken their tweaked production sound out to various places of good standing, including: Issst@The Key, NastyDirtySexMusic @ Ministry of Sound, Fabric, Turnmills, Herbal, Product @ Stealth, NightFlight @ On The Rocks, Club Klatka (Warsaw), Sound Bar (Chicago), Yatzi (Oslo) and Weekend (Berlin). It’s busy times ahead for the dynamic dysfunctional duo as they take up their residencies at Tim Sheridan’s weekly Very Very Very Wrong Indeed after-party at Turnmills, and bi-monthly @ Product (Stealth, Nottingham) as well as touring to support their production releases.
