Deja Vue

It started in 1988 when I teamed up with the Mix Kid (we were also know as the Parana Brothers for a while - Doug & Dinsdale), we used to do mixing using nothing more sophisticated than a twin tape deck. We would play a snippet from one tape to the other and then another from a different bit of music.

It started in 1988 when I teamed up with the Mix Kid (we were also know as the Parana Brothers for a while - Doug & Dinsdale), we used to do mixing using nothing more sophisticated than a twin tape deck. We would play a snippet from one tape to the other and then another from a different bit of music. This would go on until the mix was completed, the process being known as 'bouncing'Then in 1998 came Sounds From The South. This started as a solo project, after moving back home. Later a friend moved in and we were going to start up together but we ever actually recorded anything together...all that remains is an album that I recorded on my own and another tape of remixes that I did myself. After this nothing musical happened in my life for a number of years until in 2006 by Deja Vue, my third project. This started off by me doing cover songs. In fact I produced six albums worth. As these were never released, they have all been deleted. I then went onto think about some of my other favourite influences like The Art of Noise, Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre, and decided I wanted to move more into the field of playing electro music. The result of this was the album Retro-Electro. A combination of eight styles of electro music including dance, techno, DnB and disco. I finished the album in early August 2007. Around this time I had met up with my old friend The Mix Kid, and although we had remained friends throughout the years, had not colaborated since the early days. After playing a demo of the CD and talking for a while he agreed to join the band. The Mix Kid (DJ Ears, Steve) composes / produces and will be doingthe groove and drum box programming for the band.I still do the remixing as DJ GK and I do my own production work under the name of LHP (Long Hall Productions). The Retro-Electro album was completed in October 2007 and is now available on iTunes as is our follow-up EP The Ambient EP which was finished in November 2007. We are now working on our next album and also a remix album. In January 2008 Angie-Baby joined the band to as a singer. The remix album called "Remixed" is due for release in March 2008 Deja Vue are signed to LHP Records - www.myspace.com/longhallproductions
