Suede 26th Feb Seamus Haji Friday the 23rd of February Suede presenst Mr big love himself Seamus Haji @Basement Boro There is a distinct possibility that the name Seamus Haji may already be familiar to you. One of the most creative and technically gifted house DJ’s of our time and to say that he has many more strings to his bow is a complete understatement. In the early 90’s Seamus became the resident DJ at The Satellite Club in London. This led to regular guest spots at the likes of Garage City, MOS, Hard Times and Back To Basics. He has also enjoyed numerous residencies around the globe, including four years at Pacha, Ibiza where he gathered an army of fans, possibly something to do with his rather dashing looks as well as his DJing ability of course! Musically his strength is his diversity playing as comfortably alongside, for example, Kenny Dope as Murk. And his sets are now known for the wealth of his own productions and remixes as well as more than a smattering of trickery on the Pioneer CDJ1000’s ( for which he is an official ambassador) The trainspotter in you may be aware that Seamus has had multiple creative personalities that have come in the form of the following monikers over the years: Big Bang Theory, Mekkah, 11th Dimension and Get This! “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life” was the latest single released by Seamus under his own name. He covered the original ‘80’s club classic in an Electro-house style which has been championed by Djs as diverse as Deep Dish and Steve Lawler to Lucien Foort and the Dreem Team. Seamus also teamed up with Paul Emanuel to produce ‘Weekend” a cover of the Class Action classic sampled and made famous by Todd Terry in the mid 80’s. Under their Haji & Emanuel moniker and released on the Azuli imprint they’ve given this an electro tinged house vibe that’s been a worldwide club hit. They are currently riding high with their Haji & Emanuel follow up “Take Me Away” which is one of the biggest vocal tracks in Ibiza his Summer and should be seeing a full release later this year. Seamus has also been busy on the remix front, notching up great packages for most notably Hardsoul “Back Together”, Artificial Funk “Together” , Tweet “Boogie 2 Nite” and Stonebridge “Put Em High” over the last few years. Most recently he’s turned out impressive remixes for Axwell “Feel The Vibe”, Bon Garcon “Freek U” and Afro Medusa “Pasilda”. At the start of 2002 Seamus decided to set up his own record label, Big Love, with Defected Records’ ex head honcho Janet Bell. “Big Love is an organic, lo-pressure imprint for quality, club-based international house whereas Soul Love is it’s fairly self-explanatory Soul Sister. Both are reflections of where our hearts lie musically and our intention to be INclusive rather than EXclusive. Dance music is way too up its arse and pigeonholed these days!” As if all this wasn’t enough, Seamus is pleased to be back on the air with his ratings-grabbing Ministry of Sound radio show. And in light of guest mixes on Radio 1, Kiss 100, Galaxy and Ministry Of Sound , it’s about time too! Seamus Haji has become synonymous with quality, his DJ sets are nearing legendary, he’s a technical wizard and his productions are phenomenal. His star is in the ascendant for 2005.
