Gary Dedman and Kevin Andrews a.k.a. the Hoxton Whores have been DJing and producing for over a decade and are highly regarded as one of the most pioneering and prolific producers of the dance industry today. The boys have co-produced and created monster anthems worldwide from their own studios in Hoxton whilst working with some of the greatest artists of our time. Their remix list is endless and includes the likes of Danny Howells, Faithless, Kathy Brown, Moloko & Todd Terry to name but a few...
The boys first came together when they started a music distribution company called Essential Direct Ltd over 10 years ago. The label allows the boys to prove their love for the music, focusing on the creation of huge club tracks that instill a great party atmosphere and that can be used within their DJ sets. The style of music the record label likes to portray is mainly house orientated, but ranges from funky and uplifting, right through to dirty thumping electro beats. The boys love making tracks that simply bring energy to the dance floor and give back something to the crowds that have been supporting them DJing over the years.
As internationally recognised DJs, the Hoxton Whores hold residencies at two of the most prestigious clubs in the world – Pacha & the Cross in London. Their extremely busy schedule regularly takes them to all corners of the world and it’s not unusual for the boys to try and fit in at least 4 gigs every weekend. Behind the decks expect a unique ‘Hoxton Whore’ performance with their signature blend of dirt-laced funky pumping electro and vocal uplifting house, combined with tones of tribal, dirty disco and large progressive beats mixed in. The boys can often be caught throwing records and CDs into the crowds – their legendary energy and unforgettable performance always hyping the crowd to the max.
The Hoxton Whores have created some of the biggest original tracks and timeless bootlegs that house music has heard in the last decade. As we fly into 2007 two of their tracks have been signed to Ministry of Sound’s Data label for a release in the first half of the year. Already gaining massive radio airplay and fantastic support from Radio 1, ‘Friday Saturday Love’ looks set to be a massive tune for the boys and is scheduled for release in May. ‘Lost in Ibiza’ is the follow up single, scheduled for release during the summer. Watch out for the Hoxton Whores debut artist album in the latter part of the year!
