Half of production duo Bodyrox, Ivor Novello Nominee Nick Bridges has been widely tipped as one of the UK's hottest young DJ/producers. Having produced the biggest electro record of the Miami WMC 2006 with production partner Jon Pearn, Bodyrox 'Yeah Yeah' went on to become 'the club anthem of 2006' with the help of Luciana, spurring a new genre of house that journalists are calling 'Nu Rave'. With specialist radio support from Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Fergie, Dave Pearce, Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley, Annie Mac, Edith Bowman, Annie Nightingale, Sarah Cox and Trophy Twins on Radio One alone, 'Yeah Yeah' smashed into the UK national chart in November 2006 at #2 (Radio One Playlist #1, Cool Cuts #1, Shazam Tag Chart #1, Beatport Download Chart #1, The Box Playlist #1). With a further productions signed to majors (Positiva, Data, Phonetic & Eye Industries/Universal) for release later this year (including 'Sound of Eden' (DMC Buzz Chart #1, Cool Cuts #1)); and residencies at a number of the most famous and influential clubs in the World including MoS and Fabric London, 2007 is shaping up to be quite a year for Nick. We caught up with the jet setter to see what he has been up to. Hey Nick, Hows it going ? Im good thanks How would you describe your music? Electro and techno. Your one half of Bodyrox who had a massive single last summer with Yeah Yeah How did that all come about and what can we expect next from you guys? Yeah Yeah was the 2nd track we wrote together about 4 years ago. We had a number of remixes done to keep it fresh and invited Luciani to feature on it at the end of last summer. Weve been working on an number of things since which we are about to unleash this summer. Before Bodyrox you already had a successful career and most noticeably a Ministry of Sound residency. What was it like to play there? Ministry is one of the best clubs in the World. The atmosphere in the Box is pretty special. Are you looking forward to playing for Pukka Up at Pacha this month? What can we expect ? Yeah sure, Pacha is always good. You can expect some great electro and some of our latest material. One look at your diary and we see your playing all over the world, where is your favourite place to play and why? I do love playing in Mauritius because it is such an amazing island. There are loads of great places / clubs in the World. Macumba in Madrid greatoh, and Singapore is always good. We see that you will be playing for Pukka Up over in Ibiza this year at Es Paridise, do you have any other big parties you will be playing at? Im playing 5 parties for cream at amnesia this summer and for MN2S at El Divino which Im looking forward to. Will we be seeing you at any festivals this year in the UK ? Sure, you can catch us at Global Gathering, the Wildchild Festival in London and at the Electro, Techno and Breaks festival Human Zoo. How did you come to dance music and why did you choose to be a DJ? Not sure? No turning back now!!! What other artists, and labels are you looking at, at the moment and thinking, This is good ? There are a lot of great young producers coming through the ranks now. Toolroom is consistently one of the best labels for breaking new music and new artists. Your called the man of the moment today, who do you think will be the next big thing, any hot tips ? Glasshouse Resident Daley Padley is producing some great underground tracks at the moment as is Anton Neumark and Will Bailey Who are your influences? Im influenced by different music every day. Im really into this new generation of live bands at the moment. Whats the best thing to happen to you this year? Being nominated for an Ivor Novello award was amazing. What drink should we be buying you at Pukka Up and will you be attending the boat party on the Thames? Ive been asked to play on the boat but I will be flying back from Russia that morning so it depends if I make it in time. I think Ill probably be drinking water to flush out the vodka from the night before... You can catch Nick in London on the Thames and then at Pacha for Pukka Up on 16th June For more information visit www.pukkaup.com www.myspace.com/djnickbridges

Name: Maria Eugenia Gonzalez Birth Year: 1982 Currently stays: Caracas Venezuela Works as: DJane, Producer, Remixer, Model Music Style: Minimal, Electro, Tech-House Mara, alias DJane Meg, was born 1982 in Caracas (Venezuela). Meg was interested in music from the early start. At the age of 9, she started in the school of Classic Ballet Ana Maria Correa. Later she began to study contemporary dance and ballet at El Ateneo de Caracas and El Teresa Carreo. Electronic Music and Clubbing were in her blood from a teenie age on and she decided early to follow this path. Her biggest influence was watching some of Venezuela Top DJs or big names like Deep Dish, Timo Maas, David Morales or Satoshi Tomiie, performing in some of Caracas top clubs. With 21 years she decided to express music through the vanguardism and technology. Taking the art from the mixture and the electronic production as a form of artistic and musical expression. At the same time she developed her studies of social communication at the Santa Marias University. DJ Meg had her fist experience as DJane in the DJ School in Caracas Venezuela, and later she dedicated herself to the production under the management and guidance of DJ and Producer Tony Funichelly. In the past three years since she started djing, Meg has built up a lot of experience in many different forms of house music: Club, Vocal, Minimal, Acid, Tech and Electro-House. Her experience grew steadily as she played at parties and clubs in Caracas and later on in Maracay. Playing in different Radio and TV-Shows that makes her also popular in the neighbour countries. After a while she caught the eye of cigarettes and alcohol companies that booked her for different promotion tours, this helped her also to get more bookings in Colombia and in Panama as first DJane from Venezuela. Meg is a beautiful and talented woman with an amazing energy behind the decks: When I'm spinning, the major influence is the vibe coming from the dancing crowd on the floor. So I just listen to the feeling, and put my records on. That's why I never pick out my records before, to play them in a prefixed order. Today she is one of the 5 best DJs in Venezuela, her ranking as No. 4 in the Venezuela Top DJ Awards 2005 demonstrate her success. For 2006 she plans to conquist Latin America and does her first expierince in Europe.
