Jules began playing in 1987, launching the career that has easily notched up hundreds of thousands of miles, millions of spins of the decks and countless gigs in far-flung destinations, as well as the odd dirty warehouse thrown in for good measure. Jules’ DJ sets are the epitome of what DJing is about - passion, amazing tunes and a set of hands capable of the most nimble of mixing.

With a list of awards that would make the American Olympic team blush, Jules has earned his place amongst the DJ aristocracy. Rarely out of DJ Mag’s top 15 in the annual Top 100 DJs poll, Jules has won such accolades as - “Best DJ” (Muzik Awards), No.1 DJ (Mixmag reader’s poll), “Best International DJ” (Dancestar), and “Best Radio DJ” at the Smirnoff Dancestars. Awards aside, there is no doubt that Jules remains one of the most popular figures in dance music, who has had the pleasure of playing some of the most sought-after gigs - notably for his beloved Arsenal FC and also, in January 2007, at the 20/20 one-day Australia v’s England cricket match at Sydney Cricket Ground.

The Club Work Jules’ ability to pull a crowd, shake them up and leave them wanting more makes him a promoter’s dream. Jules regularly plays at all the top club nights in the UK: Cream, Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, The Gallery @ Turnmills, Goodgreef, Slinky, Passion, Slinky, Lush (Northern Ireland), Inside Out @ Arches (Glasgow), Promise and the Honeyclub in Brighton. Plus he packs out fields at the UK’s best festivals and weekenders including Creamfields and Global Gathering.

His deck dexterity is consistently in demand in Western and Eastern Europe (incl. Czech Rep., Russia, Romania, Hungary, Spain and Germany), the US, the southern hemisphere (Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and India) and on the African continent (The Pyramids, Egypt) and also U.A.E.

Jules embraces dance music across the spectrum and you’re just as likely to find him spinning trance to 10,000 at a festival, as playing a rocking house set in a 500-capacity venue.

Ibiza - The Promoter
Jules’ presence in Ibiza is unparalleled, with ‘Judgement Sundays’ remaining one of the stalwart clubs in Ibiza and a must see for international dance pilgrims - it’s no surprise that in 2001, Jules won the 'Best Trance DJ' category at the 'Ibiza Pacha Awards' and in 2003 he was crowned with ‘Best Trance Night’ for ‘Judgement Sundays’ at the Ibiza Awards and with ‘Best For Party Atmosphere’ by the Evening Standard.

After the success of Jules’ night, Judgement Sunday’s @ Eden in Ibiza in 1999, the night has rapidly grown over the last seven3 years and is firmly established as one of the premier nights in Ibiza. Special Judgement Sundays nights will take place at the UK’s premier club venues in 2007.

On The Radio
Jules started radio DJing in 1987 on the (then pirate radio station) Kiss FM, which went legal in 1990. At the time, Jules hosted Kiss' two flagship weekend shows.

The Producer / Writer / A&R
Jules’ ear for a good track was put to good use as A&R for Manifesto Records in the ‘90s, where he sniffed out some of the biggest ever dance hits, including Josh Wink’s ‘Higher State of Consciousness’.

Jules went on to collaborate with fellow North Londoner Paul Masterson under the guise Hi-Gate. Hi-Gate resulted in three Top 20 hits in the UK charts with ‘Pitchin’, ‘Caned And Unable’ and ‘Gonna Work it Out’. Jules and Paul released a number of productions in 2002 under various pseudonyms: Hi-Gate - ‘Caned & Unable live (2002 remix)’, The Clergy - ‘Oboe Song’, VPL - T-Break.

The Jules and Masterson partnership delivered production and remix work for major labels like Virgin, Warner, Universal and Ministry. Jules released his Hi-Gate album with Paul Masterson, ‘Split Personality’, in April 2003. The impressive album saw Jules and Masterson working with some of the most talented vocalists in the business, including Boy George and Diane Charlemagne (of Moby and Goldie fame).

In October 2006 a personal ambition was realised as Jules released his debut solo album, Proven Worldwide, which was well-received in both the UK and US. Eagle-eared listeners may have heard the man himself contribute vocals on a few tracks! The album also features a bonus DVD tracking Jules on his travels.

Compilations
At present Jules is working with Paul Masterson on their ‘Hi-Gate’ project. Their third release due called ‘You & me’, which follows ‘Pitchin’, which rose to number six in the national charts, ‘I Can Hear Voices/Caned & Unable’ and then ‘Gonna Work It Out’ which have all made the ‘Top Twenty’ in 2001.
