SUMMANIGHTS ARTIST BIOS:

Sharam (Deep Dish) – USA

As one half of the all-conquering Deep Dish duo alongside Ali “Dubfire” Shirazinia, Sharam Tayebi has reached heights that few DJ/Producers can only dream of. An artist of rare and exceptional talent, his DJ sets are famed for captivating club crowds from Miami to Ibiza, while his solo productions (including 2006’s monster hit ‘P.A.T.T (Party Al The Time)) continue to break new ground and consistently find their way into the CD wallets and record crates of the world’s DJing elite. From his acclaimed Global Underground compilation ‘Dubai’ and his highly anticipated forthcoming artist album ‘Get Wild’, to his daily duties looking after a trio of coveted co-owned labels with Ali (Yoshitoshi Recordings, Deep Dish Records and Shinichi Recordings); Sharam is a revered electronic music trendsetter that has stood the test of time and forges the future with every studio session he completes and every upfront tune he drops.

Eddie Halliwell – UK

There are very few DJs on the planet who inspire crowds of hedonistic punters to raucously chant their name before, during and after their sets … UK Trance legend is Eddie Halliwell is one of them. Championed by the dancefloor to become one of the biggest breakthrough DJ talents in the world, Eddie Halliwell’s rise to notoriety over the last few years has been equally as swift and impressive as it has been hard earned and well deserved. Possessing sublime technical skills and an uncanny ability to make dancefloors erupt across the globe, he’s a veteran of no less than seven BBC Radio One Essential Mixes, a regular fixture in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ poll and an even more popular fixture at Cream’s Amnesia residency in Ibiza … and this speaks nothing of his new, hotly anticipated DJing concept ‘ED-IT’.

Josh Wink – USA

Born and bred in Philadelphia and DJing since he was just 13 years of age, for the last two decades America’s Josh Wink has maintained his position as one of the world’s true pioneers of Techno, House and genre-blurring electronic music styles. The underground genius responsible for seminal tracks like ‘Higher State Of Consciousness’, ‘Liquid Summer’, ‘Don’t Laugh’ and ‘Have To Get Back’, the mastermind behind leading label ‘Ovum Recordings’, and a seasoned veteran of multiple artist albums (including most recently, ‘When A Banana Was Just A Banana’ in 2009); Josh Wink is a bonafide founding forefather of EDM as we know it today and, more importantly, one that has carved a unique niche for himself by passionately and relentlessly taking trends, making trends and breaking trends.

Mark Knight – UK

Plucked from the relative obscurity of life as a fully-fledged carpenter just a few short years ago, in 2009 UK DJ/Producer Mark Knight now commands a thriving EDM empire that comprises one of the world’s premier labels (‘Toolroom Records’), one of its finest and most extensive discographies, and one of its most successful DJs and Producers in recent times … himself! Championed worldwide for his high octane DJ sets that weave effortlessly in and out of genres to forge a sound that is distinctively his and his alone, Mark is an astute music collector and technically gifted performer whose skills are consistently in-demand in every corner of the world. As a Producer, however, he has few equals. Regularly called upon to remix the biggest names in the world and infamous for the consistently brilliant nature of his studio works (which include classics like ‘Insatiable’, ‘The Reason’ and ‘Just Trippin’), Mark Knight’s name has grown synonymous with quality, musicality and dancefloor accessibility.

With remixes for superstars like Ludacris, Erick Morillo, Tom Jones and The Backstreet Boys in his discography and an epic 12-year residency at Ibiza’s legendary Space on his resume, the notoriously fun-loving and cheerful prankster, Tom Novy, is just as the title of his 2006 artist album suggests: a superstar.
