JEROME HILL (Don't/Uglyfunk) London/UK


 

Jerome got his turntables in 1990 after being inspired by the pirate radio sounds of London. He began buying hip hop, house, breakbeat and early european techno . In 1994 he hooked up with infamous London soundsystem "JIBA" and further developed his scratching and mixing style for which he has now become known. Always making an effort to be original and different he began getting booked by London promoters and has played alongside luminaries including Richie Hawtin,Phuture 303, DJ Rolando, Anthony Rother, Neil Landstrumm and many more...Drawing influences from the Chicago sound of Relief and Dancemania combined with the no-school sound of Brighton and Edinburgh he plays a mixture of everything encompassing all techno strains, HipHop, Old hardcore and everything in between...all with a SPECIAL twist and never losing the flow !! Was recently given a mention in DJ magazine`s top 100 DJ`s 2003 by fellow Londoners Chris liberator and Dave the drummer as someone to definately watch out for.

 

He is resident DJ at the UGLYFUNK club night now based in London and recent gigs include: Dogma, Edinburgh, Breakneck, Portsmouth; Holodeck, Cardiff; Elektronik Book, Madrid ; Extension,Poznan ; Susi/Manga Rosa,Sao-Paulo; TechnoPark, Caracas; Batofa, Paris; UTI, Edinburgh as well as free technivals in Czech republic, Berlin and Holland. When he`s not gigging he plays every weekend at London warehouses for soundsystems (Bedlam, Manik,

He runs London`s "Trackheads" record shop in Camden Town(www.trackheads.co.uk), specialising in techno and electro which took over after his last shop "Dragon Discs" closed down
